FUTA decided to add the Department of Mechanical Engineering to Faculty of Engineering and Engineering Technology some years back among many other things:
- To train graduates to acquire skill in designing, fabrication, manufacturing and maintenance of machines, equipment and tools in an established engineering standards.
- To produce graduates who are able to deploy their acquired classroom theoretical knowledge, industrial and laboratories practical training to find solution to some of the engineering challenges facing the community within which they live and the world at large.
- To develop creative and highly innovative graduates who are socially and morally responsible.
