B.ENG. CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM

Vision of Chemical Engineering Program

To be internationally recognized as a centre for chemical engineering education equipped with man power and facilities required for human development, invention, research, environmental sustainability, and economic development of a nation.

Mission of Chemical Engineering Program

To train engineers and equipped them with the relevant knowledge and skills through specific education, and industrial training for the general development of the country and world at large.

 

 

 

 

Brief History and Background of the Chemical Engineering Program

Chemical Engineering Programme of the Department of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering involves the translation of molecular information into the discovery of new products and processes. In the world today, chemical engineers are well prepared for a rewarding career in diverse range of industries and professional arenas.

Chemical Engineering Programme commenced with the admission of 2021/2022 set of students. Over the years, students’ population has grown steadily. The educational aim is to equip students with theoretical and practical knowledge of chemical engineering and general engineering principles involving design, production, project implementation, maintenance, manufacturing techniques and entrepreneurial skills. 

Electives are provided to enable students acquire broader knowledge of the disciplines. Thus, curriculum for the programme is designed such that graduate of the department is prepared for the above engineering duties, to meet the national needs and for them to remain relevant.

PROGRAMME EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES FOR CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM

In line with the mission and vision of the Department and that of the university, the Chemical Engineering Programme has set the following educational objectives. It is expected that graduates will be able to accomplish these objectives within five years after graduation in their various area of specialization:

PEO1: Graduates with the required engineering and technology skills needed in chemical industries, academics and socio-economic development of the nation.

PEO2: Chemical engineers with skills for planning, design, installation, operation and organization management of various industrial plants.

PEO3: Disciplined and self-reliant chemical engineers who could become global leader/representative in executing engineering projects.

PEO4: Engineers who would contribute to the overall development of manufacturing industries and the Nigerian economy in general.

PEO5:  Graduates who could train the younger engineers through novel research bearing in mind the  environmental and economic implication with articulated report writing.

The programme's educational objectives have been structured for chemical engineering graduates to fulfil stakeholders’ satisfaction or needs. These stakeholders include industry advisors, professional bodies (COREN/NUC/NSChE, etc.), academic staff, employers, students. Alumnis will be consulted in next review. In addition, the PEOs are consistent with the vision and mission of the Institution and/or faculty and stakeholders ‘requirements.

 

 

PROGRAMME OUTCOMES FOR CHEMICAL ENGINEERING PROGRAM

Programme Outcomes describe the knowledge, skills and attitude that students are expected to acquire upon graduation. The programme outcomes were developed putting into consideration the programme educational objectives. A graduate of chemical engineering programme accredited by COREN is expected to have ability to:

 PO1. Apply knowledge of science, engineering and technology principles in solving engineering problems most especially chemical engineering problems.

 

PO2. Identify novel research with articulated report of the findings and analyse developmental and complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions via science and engineering principles.

 

PO3. Recommend solutions to engineering related problems and design systems, bearing in mind the environmental, and socio-economic implications.

PO4. Carry out investigation into engineering problems using scientific and systematic research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.

 

PO5. Identify and apply appropriate analytical techniques, and ICT tools, including prediction, modelling and optimization of engineering process and production, with an understanding of their operations.

 

PO6. Develop engineering programme that inform humanities and social sciences assess to societal, health, legal and cultural issue and are relevant to professional engineering practice.

 

PO7. Establish the impact of engineering practices and solutions to the society and environment for sustainable environment.

 

PO8. Adopt engineering ethics in engineering practice, including adherence to the COREN Engineers Code of Conducts.

 

PO9. Work as a team in every sector and function effectively as an individual and as a leader.

 

PO10. Comprehend engineering practices, report accordingly and communicate effectively for national developmental.

 

PO11. Display knowledge and understanding of engineering, organization management, and financial principles in every engineering sector.

 

PO12. Carry out independent and lifelong learning, resulting from engineering, science, technology, and societal changes.

B.ENG. PRETROLEUM ENGINEERING PROGRAM

Vision of Petroleum Engineering Programme

TO train and produce engineers with relevant skills and knowledge through ICT, industrial training, software development and workshop that can empower the students for self-development and the general well-being of our country and the world at large.

Mission of Petroleum Engineering Programme

To be internationally known as a centre of excellence for petroleum engineering studies through research innovation for green energy and sustainability, equipped with man power and facilities such as piping and fitting in oil and gas industry for human development of the nation.

History of the B. Eng in Petroleum Engineering Programme

Petroleum Engineering is a very diverse profession that finds application in many knowledge areas such as science, technology, finance, management and ICT. In Science, there are applications in areas from Biology to Chemistry and Mathematics and Engineering Science. To be equipped for the challenges of the 21st Century complex and real- national and world problems, Petroleum engineers must develop engineering problem-solving skills, strong synthetic and analytical skills. The modern-day Petroleum engineer must thus find relevance in the application of these knowledge and skills to create innovative solutions to the 21st Century industrial and societal problems in areas such as environmental responsibilities, clean energy sources, sustainable system, and solving oil and gas challenging problems. In addition, petroleum engineering programme in UAES, is a five-year programme for students admitted through JAMB entrance examination and four-year programme for students admitted through direct entry. The Department has accreditation from the NUC and the Council for the Regulation of Engi List of Programme(s):
