There are many universities in Nigeria that teach polymer and textile engineering, so also chemical and polymer engineering but only at Olusegun Agagu University of Science and Technology (OAUSTECH) is where Polymer Engineering is offered as a taught programme in Nigeria, at least as at the time of putting up this page.
Polymer Engineering is a type of Materials Engineering, polymer being a form of material. But as an engineering discipline it major focus is on designing, analysing and modification of polymer materials.
Polymer Engineers work in Petrochemical Industry, Food Industry, Textile Industry, Environmental Protection Agencies, Plastic Industry and more.
