Unilorin Mechanical Engineering and Entry Requirements

Mechanical Engineering as a discipline design and build any working machines which include but not limited to aircraft, space station, ship, aircraft carrier, robot and machines that make machines. They work in group of other engineers to have better results in their work.

The Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Ilorin (UNILORIN) teaches this course to develop engineers for the challenges of designing, developing and even maintain and repair this various machines when brake down. 

A mechanical engineer must be a great thinker, a person who is able to come out with great idea to solving myriad of problems in the society, mechanically.
