Department of Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering applies basic scientific principles to the design, manufacture, operation and maintenance of all forms of mechanical devices, as well as management of the human and material resources necessary for these activities.

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES (PEOs)

The Bachelor of Engineering degree (B.Eng) in all Engineering program in line with the vision and mission of the Niger Delta University is majorly to produce Modern High-Tech Mechanical Engineers for national development and provision of enabling environment for scientific and engineering knowledge in solving rising challenges of our developing economy. Hence, students after graduation in a duration of five (5) years are expected to be resourceful and creative in applying acquired technical capabilities such as exhibition of professional skills to work effectively with colleagues in industries and other work places; and finally demonstration of high responsible professional member of professional bodies in the practice of engineering in the state of nation and the global world.

Therefore, the Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs) for Niger Delta University (NDU) Engineering Program were developed by the department, faculty, and other resource personnel from the industry, government ministries, etc. They are as follows:

1. Provision of quality undergraduate education programme for students admitted into the engineering programme.

2.  Advancement of scientific knowledge through basic and applied research methods in the academia, production/manufacturing industries, energy sectors and other engineering relating multinationals.

3.  Development of problem-solving approaches using analytical abilities, design and fabrication skills, proper understanding of manufacturing/production processes, either as individual or in a team.

4.  To understand the different use, operations, maintenance and design of engineering materials.
