The Department of Mechanical Engineering is one of the most versatile Departments as far as faculty of Engineering is concerned. Although, Civil Engineering Department is one of the foundation Departments in Osun state University since 2007, Mechanical Engineering staffs had been part of the Civil Engineering Department. The Mechanical Engineering Department was carved out after resource verification by the National University Commission (NUC) and Council for Regulation of engineers in Nigeria (COREN). The University was permitted to commence the Mechanical Engineering courses in 2013. The first set of admitted students came onboard and hence lecture started.

The Department runs a 5-year programme, operating 2-semester course units systems in its curriculum that leads to the awards of Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) degree in Mechanical Engineering.  The 5-year duration is expected to progress from year-one (100 level) through year-five (500 level).  Each year is divided into two semesters (Harmattan and Rain), each of 17-18 weeks duration. 

The academic programme of the Department operates academic curricular that are tailored along the stipulations contained in the National Universities Commission (NUC) Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards and as required by the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria, COREN. The curricula for the programme are being regularly revised. The last revision took place in 2015 to bring the programme contents in line with Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards (BMAS) by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).

During the past 3 years, the Department has produced over 79 graduates. While many of these graduates are currently doing well in government and private establishments, some have since obtained higher degrees and are in various institutions as members of faculty. Those in industries and private establishment are holding good positions in the public and private sectors of the economy.

Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)

The programme has five basic PEOs which are highlighted below:

1. PEO1–KNOWLEDGE: access high quality teaching and learning experiences in mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of developmental and complex engineering problems.
2. PEO2 –RESEARCH: conduct investigation into developmental or complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.

iii. PEO3 -ENTREPRENEURIAL SKILLS: have entrepreneurial skills that can make them stand on their own as job creators, to provide the engineering industry and profession globally, with readily employable and enterprising graduates prepared for the assumption of technical, managerial and financial responsibilities.

1. PEO4 -PROFESSIONALISM AND TEAMWORK: execute and manage teamwork, interpersonal skills and professional growth and be able to conduct professional practice considering societal, ethical, and environmental aspects.
2. PEO5 – INVENTION AND CREATIVITY: apply the acquired knowledge and skills in agricultural engineering to develop innovative and sustainable solutions for global competitiveness.

Programme Outcomes (POs)

The programme outcomes are presented below:

1. PO1 Engineering knowledge - Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialization to the solution of developmental and complex engineering problems
2. PO2 Problem Analysis - Identify, formulate, research literature and analyze developmental and complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.

iii. PO3 Design/Development of Solutions - Proffer solutions for developmental or complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal and environmental considerations

1. PO4 Investigation - Conduct investigation into developmental or complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.
2. PO5 Modern Tools Usage - Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources and modern engineering and ICT tools, including prediction, modelling and optimization to developmental and complex engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations.
3. PO6 The Engineer and Society - Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge including Humanities and Social Sciences to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice

vii. PO7 Environment & Sustainability - Understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate knowledge of and need for sustainable development

viii. PO8 Ethics - Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice, including adherence to the COREN Engineers Code of Conducts.

1. PO9 Individual & Team Work - Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings.
2. PO10 Communication - Communicate effectively on developmental or complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
3. PO11 Project Management & Finance - Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering, management and financial principles and apply these to one's own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multi-disciplinary environments

xii. PO12 Lifelong Learning - Recognize the need for, and have the preparations and ability to engage in independent and lifelong learning in the broadest context of technological and social changes
