The department offers a degree programme leading to the award of B.Eng. (Civil Engineering).
PHILOSOPHY
The general philosophy of Civil Engineering programme is that of education for capacity in order to satisfy individual and societal needs. The engineering graduate must not only gain knowledge of particular area of study, but should also develop ways of thinking and which are appropriate for use outside the educational system. Individual satisfaction stems from doing a job well through the exercise of personal capacity. The programme not only stresses the importance of analysis, criticism and acquisition of knowledge, but it also seek to imbibe in the graduate that culture which is concerned with the formulation and solution of problems, doing, making and organizing a culture which emphasizes craftsmanship, the design, construction and supervision of works and services and the day to day management of affairs
OBJECTIVES
The programme is designed to fulfill the following objectives. To produce civil engineering graduates who are capable of exercising original thought and judgment in the application and development of engineering science and knowledge. To produce potent civil engineers who can be immediately employed in the existing and emerging positions in any civil engineering endeavor within and outside the Nigerian shores, or who can take up advanced studies and research in any chosen field of civil engineering any where in the world. To achieve these, the curriculum is designed to provide the civil engineering graduates a five years foundation not only in the basic sciences and mathematics but also in the traditional and non-traditional sectors of civil engineering. An equivalent of one-year industrial attachment at 200, 300 and 400 levels of the programme, exposes the student to both practical application of the engineering fundamentals and acquisition of necessary professional skills. Provisions are made for offering the students a number of optional courses to enable them have a certain degree of specialization in the area of structural, geotechnical, transportation, water resources, environmental and Geodetic Engineering.

Towards enhancing the built tropical environment. The philosophy underlying, the study of architecture in Ekpoma is fashioned towards providing the professional but indigenous competence that the nation requires as well as developing the individual’s ability for social and cognitive analysis which are indispensable for human habitation. The spaces in which we live, more work and play are largely the product of our own devising. This process of devising and shaping our physical and tropical environment is the very essence of the art and science of Architecture in Ekpoma.
The objective of the academic programme is to make the student aware of their responsibilities with regard to the above philosophy, thus giving them a broad based educational background and techniques built responsibilities both to the nation and all man kind.
The course of study places emphasis on architecture (historical influences, building systems technology, environmental control professional studies, architecture design workshop and related studies from other faculties) and equip the students with information regarding them as contributor to the final goal of shaping human environmental need. All these are achieved courses within a six year architectural education.

STAFF PROFILES
The Department offers undergraduate degree programmes in Industrial and Production Engineering. Philosophy We live in an age in which technology has transformed the world into an inter-connected global village. For us in Nigeria, we are beginning to experience a process of regeneration after a period of political and economic wilderness. For the effective utilization of any type of resources (human and materials) good, strong, intelligent and adaptive engineers are required. This cadre of engineers cannot be produced without considering the dynamic interaction between materials and production. Hence the general philosophy of the Department is to produce ‘hybrid engineers’ with sound knowledge of engineering principles, engineering materials, and the abilities to apply them to practical engineering problems.
HISTORY
The Department was initially known as the Department of Materials and Production Engineering, which also started as a Department of Technology in 2000. But following the approval of the senate of the University, at its 181st Regular Meeting held in September 27, 2000, the Department changed its name from the Department of Technology to the Department of Materials and Production Engineering after the University Senate has considered and approved the suggestion of the NUC Accreditation Team that visited the Faculty of Engineering and Technology on August 5, 2003. Following this approval, the Department changed its initial Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng) Degree Programme in Materials Technology and Management to Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng) Degree Programme in Materials and Production Engineering. The initial in-take of students for the 2001/2002 academic year was 60.
In March 2011, the NUC team that came for the re-accreditation of the Department of Materials and Production Engineering, gave interim accreditation to the department. This was the second interim accreditation status given to the department in two years, it therefore amounted to failed accreditation. However, in 2013, a team from the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN), visited the department and advised that the Department should be split into two i.e 1. The Department of Industrial and Production Engineering, 2. The Department of Materials and Metallurgy Engineering. A proposal for the Department of Industrial and Production Engineering was therefore sent to the curriculum committee of the University which was considered and approved. The curriculum committee presented the proposal to the senate of the University and it was approved. The Department of Industrial and Production Engineering resource verification by the Nigerian University Commission (NUC) was carried out in 2016. The first set of students were admitted in 2015/2016 session with the following as head of the department so far:

PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES
The true wealth of a nation is in manpower. Therefore, any scientific and technical training and education should aim to develop the talents of the student engineer, so that he/she can contribute to the well being of the society, by using the scientific and technical resources, coupled with available material resources, with the greatest efficiency and continuing to develop them. The objective of the department of Mechanical Engineering is to produce graduates who will be well qualified to:
The degree programme offered in this department is a five years sandwich continuous assesment programme which include 50 weeks of supervised industrial training period. The first year programme consists of the study of the applied sciences and mathematics with an introduction to engineering principles. In the second year, the study of mathematics is continued but professional engineering subject receive more attention. In the third and forth years the professional subjects are continued with the introduction of mathematical solution to engineering design. In the fifth year of study, a group of subjects may be chosen from a core of professional topics and a wide selection of options! including non-technical and management course relevant to professional engineering. Also in the fifth year an extended project is taken, which is likely to involve analysis, design construction and testing. The results are submitted in the form of a major reports which is then subject of an oral presentation.
