DEPARTMENT OF TECHNICAL AND ENGINEERING EDUCATION AND TRAINING
impart 21st-century skills to the millions of students in our Universities, Polytechnics, Vocational, and Technical Colleges, and Schools. The Department of Technical and Engineering Education and Training was thus established in 2014 to address manpower needs in our education institutions. In its infancy, the department had a staff complement of 3, comprising 2 lecturers and a secretary. Over the years, the department has become the cornerstone of technical engineering education in the university. It now has a staff complement of 6.
The department’s mandate is to train teachers, lecturers, and trainers in technical and engineering
for deployment in schools, colleges, and universities. Our programs include 5 Bachelor
of Technology Education Honours Degrees and 5 Master of Technology Education Degrees in Civil and Construction Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Wood Science and Technology, and Technical Graphics. The Department also offers a Post-graduate Diploma in Tertiary and Higher Education.
The Department subscribes to the Education 5.0 doctrine through world-class teaching, cutting-
edge research, and community outreach, to innovate and industrialize the economy.
