Nigerian Universities That Offer Mechatronics Engineering

Nigerian Universities That Offer Mechatronics Engineering (NUC Accredited)

Think of a course that unites Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics engineering and Computer Science all in one! That is Mechatronics engineering. This is a new course that has been introduced. It has major applications in Robotics, Computer-Aided Design,  Sensing and Control Systems Telecommunication, Air Conditioning, Space Exploration, Industrial Automation, Oil and Gas and even Health Care. Imagine how having this knowledge could boost Nigerian Students in terms of capacity. It can happen. It is happening actually.

Well, many Nigerians who have had passion to study this course have had their dreams turned down because the course was not available in Nigeria. We are so thankful that those days are over! A couple of Nigerian Universities now offer Mechatronics Engineering. This is a huge development to the academic sector and an opportunity for Jambites to explore towards this new adventure. Nigerian Universities offering Mechatronics Engineering include:

Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State

The Federal University of Agriculture, Abeokuta, Ogun State, or FUNAAB, (FUNAAB) was established on 1 January 1988 by the Federal Government when four universities of technology, earlier merged in 1984, were demerged. This led to the creation of the first two universities of agriculture in Abeokuta and Makurdi.

On the same date, Professor Nurudeen Olorun-Nimbe Adedipe was appointed the pioneer Vice-Chancellor of the university. Professor Adedipe officially assumed duty on 28 January 1988. For many years the date which Professor Adedipe assumed duty was wrongly adopted as the foundation day. Following a revisit to the instrument setting up the university, a council decision at its 53rd statutory meeting in June 2010 reverted the foundation date to 1 January 1988 as prescribed by the law which established the university.
