The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established at the inception of the Polytechnic in November 1979 to carry out a programme of study terminating in the award of the Nigerian National Diploma (NND) certificate in Mechanical Engineering. The policy change by the Federal Government in the training structure of technicians/technologists brought about the re-introduction of the traditional two-tier system of technological education comprising the National Diploma (ND) and Higher National Diploma (HND) programs.

What we do in the Department of Mechanical Engineering

Overview

The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established at the inception of the Polytechnic in November, 1979 to carry out a programme of study terminating in the award of the Nigerian National diploma (NND) certificate in Mechanical Engineering. The policy change by the Federal Government in the training structure of technicians/technologists brought about the re-introduction of traditional two-tier system of technological education comprising the National Diploma (ND) and Higher National diploma (HND) programmes. Under this arrangement, each tier lasts two academic sessions. However, after the first tier (the national diploma), the graduates are expected to undergo a period of one-year cognate industrial training before proceeding for the Higher National Diploma.
