Mission Statement of the Faculty:

We are propelling the University's aim of developing studies in the field of Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology in line with national planning objectives and manpower needs through the organization and management of academic discipline and technological research in Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical/Electronic Engineering. We are ultimately producing engineers to meet the needs of the nation’s industrial complex.

A Brief History of the Creation, Past and Current Leadership of the Department:
It was the aim of the University to develop courses in Applied Sciences, Engineering and Technology in line with national planning objectives and manpower needs.  Hence, the Faculty was conceived in 1984/85 session with the take-off scheduled in June, 1985 after a Panel comprising seasoned experts, experienced educationists and professionals had met and considered the proposed Faculty programmes and forwarded its recommendations to the Senate of the University.  On this note, the University decided to establish the departments of Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical and Electronic Engineering.

The first set of students in the Faculty were admitted in 1985/86 Session and they were introduced to foundation courses in the Faculty of Science before they began to take engineering courses, technical laboratory practical and workshop courses as well as undergoing industrial training programmes.  Record of the University indicates that past Deans of the Faculty are as follow: 1985-1986 - Prof. B.D. Ako (Dean of Science) who oversaw the Faculty, 1986-1988 - Prof. V.A. Williams,     1988-1989 - Dr. L.A. Balogun, 1989-1992 - Dr. A.A. Esan, 1992-1996 - Prof. S.I.A. Ojo, 1996-1998 - Prof. J.B. Adeyeri, 1998-2000 - Dr. O. Ogunlade, 2000-2002 - Dr. S.B. Adeyemo, 2002-2004 - Dr. J.O. Aribisala, 2004-2006 - Dr. E.A. Okunade, 2006-2008 - Dr. S.B. Adeyemo, 2008-2009 - Prof. J.O. Aribisala and 2009-date - Dr. S.B. Adeyemo.

Philosophy of the Programme

The philosophy of the Faculty derives from the developmental philosophy of the University.  As a developmental University, the institution sets itself the mission of identifying and helping to solve the developmental problems of the state through training, research and services.  In furthering this objective, the Faculty provides innovative educational programmes of high standard to produce engineering for the industrialization of the nation.

Unlike other conventional universities, UNAD Engineering Programme encompasses a comprehensive course of lectures and practical in industrial processes, management and finance.  This is considered very relevant for the industrial development of the state in particular and the country in general.

General Information on the Organs and Activities of the Department
The Faculty, like any other Engineering Faculty in the country, has its own share of the shortage of academic staff, but it is to be noted that the Faculty staff strength is improving with the appointment of more lecturers into the Faculty within the last two years, coupled with attainment of higher degrees by staff in their various disciplines.
