It was revealed that the then Faculty of Science is now what they called the Faculty of Technology.
Today, Obafemi Awolowo University, Faculty of Technology had grown to include eight departments training students on how to solve life problems by designing, constructing, fabricating and processing.
The eight engineering programmes at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife are:
With specialisation in Communication Engineering
Control and Instrumentation Engineering
Electrical Machine and Power Engineering
Electronic Material and Device Technology
- Agricultural and Environmental Engineering
with specialization in Farm Machinery/Crop Processing and Storage
Farm Structure and Environment/ Soil Water
with specialisation in
