Graduates of Chemical Engineering will fit into both the traditional and alternative chemicals and energy industries. They will possess the knowledge and skills needed to design new products, processes and energy sources while making efforts to make existing chemical processes and energy cleaner and improve the efficiency of current and emerging technologies. The programme in Chemical Engineering is therefore designed to produce engineers that can meet the challenges in the afore-mentioned areas through service in governmental agencies/establishments, public and private process industries as well as being self-employed. The two semesters in the calendar of the University, tagged Harmattan and Rain, each has 17-18 weeks duration. The programme leads to the awards of Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) degree in Chemical Engineering.

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 (COREN) in Nigeria. The curricula for the programme are being regularly revised in line with the updates from the Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards (BMAS) by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).
