Polytechnics that offer ND/HND Mechanical Engineering Technology With their Entry Requirements

The Mechanical Engineering Programme is designed to reflect a FUNCTIONAL philosophy of education. While seeking to achieve academic excellence and promote the furtherance of knowledge, the mechanical engineering programme also seeks to aid “¼ the acquisition of appropriate skills, abilities and competence, both mental and physical as equipment for the individual to live in and contribute to the development of his society..” 

The programme is therefore committed to the production of qualified and competent technicians who will be able to face the challenges concomitant with the aspiration of the country to be technological developed. and the Technicians to be self-reliant after graduation. 

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME 

The programme aims at producing mechanical engineering technicians for the nation’s industries, construction firms, public utilities and services. The diplomate should be able to: 

• Interpret and prepare engineering Drawings of mechanical equipment, their components and systems; 
•  Carry out machining and fabrication operations. 
•  Produce machine components and assemble 
•  Operate, maintain and service mechanical equipment 
•  Prepare appropriate engineering report. 
•  Carry out plant installation and maintenance 
•  Apply management principles in organising supervisory groups and in the arrangement of sequence of activities. 
• Acquire and display basic entrepreneur skills. 
• Apply adequate Information Technology (IT) skills.

Where Do Mechanical Engineer ND/HND Holders Work? 

Mechanical engineers generally work in offices. They may occasionally visit worksites where a problem or piece of equipment needs their personal attention. In most settings, they work with other engineers, engineering technicians, and other professionals as part of a team.

• Mechanical engineer also Analyze problems to see how mechanical and thermal devices might help solve a particular problem
• Design or redesign mechanical and thermal devices or subsystems, using analysis and computer-aided design
• Investigate equipment failures or difficulties to diagnose faulty operation and to recommend remedies
• Develop and test prototypes of devices they design
• Analyze the test results and change the design or system as needed
