HISTORY 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.
