History | Admission | Staff | Facilities | Courses | Research | ContactHISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY The Department of Agricultural Engineering is one of the five (5) departments that were established in October 1990 to form the present School of Engineering and Engineering Technology, (SEET). The Department employed two lecturers initially, two other lecturers were employed on 24th July, 1991 and 18th October, 1991. So the department took-off in the 1990/91 SESSION with the staff on ground and employing series of part-time lecturers, with 13 students. In the 1991/92 sessions, a Professor who specializes in farm power and machinery was employed. Subsequently, one lecturer II was employed in 1992/93 SESSION and two graduate assistants in 1993/94 SESSION. Three more graduate assistants were employed in 1995/96 SESSION. Graduate assistants were employed in 1998/99 and one in 2000/2001 SESSIONS. Right now, the department has five(5) arms of classes from 100 level to 500 level. The total student enrolment is 84 with 20 at 100 level 25 at 200 level, 21 at 300 level, 10 at 400 level and 8 at 500 level. The department is also running a post graduate programme in farm power and machinery and Soil and Water Engineering. The department has graduated forty-eight (48) students from inception to 2000/2001 session. PHILOSOPHY The programme in Agricultural Engineering is designed to produce graduates with bachelors degree in Engineering (B. Eng, Agric. Eng.), who are capable of applying fundamental engineering principles to solve problems involving Agricultural mechanization, crop production, crop/food processing and storage, irrigation, farm structures, farm electrification, soil and water conservation, erosion control, environmental pollution control, water supply and drainage. The graduate engineer should be capable of designing, operating, maintaining and repairing of farm equipment, machinery, processing and storage equipment and farm structure. Entrepreneurship training is also provided for the period of six months during the second semester of their 400 level, so that the agricultural engineer can optimally utilize resources at his disposal by virtue of his/her training and experience gained from the field/industries. This will enable them to be excellent managers of farm and agricultural businesses. He/she will be capable of adopting foreign agricultural techniques to their local environment. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS The minimum admission requirement for Agricultural Engineering should be passes at credit level in Senior Secondary School Examination or GCE 'O' Level in five subjects including English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in addition to an acceptable pass in UME. For Direct Entry, candidate must have passes in Mathematics, English Languauge, Physics and Chemistry at G.C.E ‘A’ Level or equivalent and at least lower credit in OND. DEGREE AWARDED The nomenclature of the degree is Bachelor of Engineering in Agricultural Engineering -B.Eng. (Agricultural Engineering).
DURATION OF THE STUDY The duration of the study is five years for UME and Four years for Direct Entry.
Teaching and Research Facilities Available in the Department The Department is well stocked with specialised Teaching and Research modern equipment. POSTGRADUATE PROGRAMMES The Department is currently running a postgraduate programme in farm power and machinery option at Masters and PhD levels while in the area of soil and water option, a curriculum has been designed hopefully an approval shall be given to it to take off in the 2002/2003 session.
