Philosophy

The philosophy of a Bachelor of Engineering Degree in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering is as follows:

1. Production of resourceful Engineers with sound academic training and suitably adequate practical knowledge, for sustainability of National policy on industrialization and indigenization of technology.
2. Training on analytical reasoning, creative innovation and entrepreneurship skills for sustainable growth of indigenous metallurgical and materials industries; and self-reliability,  
3. Establish synergy between fundamental knowledge of engineering at undergraduate level and industrial work experience;
4. Dissemination of knowledge for the establishment of a solid foundation for postgraduate education and competence against emerging national technological challenges through research and development.

The programme aims to impart theoretical and research training required for the award of Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) Degree in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering.

The main objectives of the programme include production of Materials and Metallurgical engineers with independent capability to:

1. Prepare younger generation, for further academic studies at postgraduate levels.
2. Design engineering projects and supervise their implementation.
3. provide required manpower for development and sustainability of indigenous materials and metallurgical industries that are rapidly developing including the Oil and Polymer industries;
4. Exercise original creative thought, maintain good professional judgement and accept responsibility for the consequence of an informed decision;
5. Provide jobs and become self-reliant entrepreneur;
6. Impart training on prudent and professional management of man, materials and machine/equipment without compromise to moral; ethical; legal; and, health and safety obligations; and,
