Course Overview
The B.Eng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering degree at the Bells University aims to produce industry-ready graduates with product design and innovative sense who are highly-skilled, creative engineers that able to adapt to new challenges and deliver sustainable solutions for modern societies.
The programmes curriculum aims to support students in bridging the gap between the University and professional work by developing skills in mechanical and machine designs, computer aided design (CAD), manufacturing, production, automobile, Oil and Gas, logistics and operational research that are required by industry.
The programme offers condensed yet impactful modules that are designed to arm our students with knowledge, skills, and tools to maximize their opportunities to secure a great career.
B.Eng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering is a 5-year Degree Programme.
This department has five main Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs):
- We strive to blend technical knowledge with essential skills like leadership, time management, and communication, preparing students for engineering careers and diverse global professional opportunities.
- Our goal is to educate creative and innovative mechanical engineers for careers and further studies in Nigeria and globally.
- Our goal is to nurture a passion for lifelong learning and critical inquiry in students, equipping them with research skills and a commitment to serving the society, preparing them for technical, managerial, and financial positions.
- Our goal is to offer pertinent services to the University, Ogun State, and the entire nation, addressing local and national needs effectively.
- We are dedicated to exceeding COREN’s standards, aligning with ABET and the UK Engineering Council, ensuring our graduates meet global engineering criteria.
Students undergo Students Works experience Programme (SWEP) for a period of three months at the end of their 200 level.
They engage in three (3) and six (6) months of Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) in 300 & 400 level respectively which gives the student at least nine (9) months of working industrial experience before graduating from the University.
At 500 level, the students will undergo coursework and supervised projects in their areas of interest and present results orally before a panel of examiners, that is, by oral presentation and defense.
As the field of engineering is wide and diverse, so are the career opportunities for our graduates.
From the conception of new ideas, planning and maintenance, or the managing of complex products and manufacturing systems, engineering is an exciting profession – one in which an individual can take pride.
Our graduates continue into exciting careers in the service industry, manufacturing, consultancy, construction, design, manufacturing, management, and many others.
Many of the world’s most successful companies have a leader with a background in engineering (for example Microsoft, Amazon and General Motors).
B.Eng Mechanical Engineering at The Bells University of Technology will open up a whole range of opportunities to you. Our course has practical base, to ensure you leave us with not only the theory behind mechanical engineering, but also the skills to put theory into practice.
We have strong links with a wide variety of companies, across many engineering sectors, and our Industrial Advisory Boards enable us to ensure our courses remain up-to-date with the current needs of our environments.
