Among many of the.laboratories the Department of Mechanical Engineering at OOU provide to develop the experience of their students on practical work are: Fluid Mechanics Laboratory, Thermodynamics / Heat Transfer Laboratory, Solid Mechanics Laboratories, Machine Design Laboratory and Materials Laboratory. Some others are being developed.

Mechanical Engineering is a five (5) years programme to the students admitted to 100 level. It is accreditation by both the National University Commission (NUC) and Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).

Bachelor of Science (BSc) is awarded students on successful completion of the undergraduate study.
