Mechanical Engineering is practice in very many companies. It is at the core of of all the other engineering disciplines. It primary involve the design, development and maintenance of machanical machines or system.

Mechanical Engineers take part in designing and developing all form of.machines no matter how small or how big. And if they are not designing or developing they are found to be doing machines and equipment maintenance or repairing.

Mechanical Engineering at Kwara State University (KWASU) is taught to equipped students with skill needed to study, design, develop and maintain mechanical system of which at the end of five (5) years programme Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering is awarded successful students.
