METALLURGICAL AND MATERIALS ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT

 INTRODUCTION

Materials and Metallurgical Engineering is a broad discipline that studies materials, including metals and non-metals, their extraction, production, manufacturing of components, recycling, economics, environmental stability and applications in various aspects of human life.

This branch of engineering consists of development of metallic, ceramics, polymeric and composite materials. It studies the traditional materials including steel, cast iron, copper, aluminium, titanium, magnesium, etc and their alloys as well as the non-metals, plastics, ceramics, glass and is continually developing new materials to meet different design conditions.Expanded researches in the field are focusing on biomaterials, smart functional materials, nanocomposites, superalloys, electro-ceramics etc. These materials are processed to obtain desired properties and structures. Appropriate selection, methods of production, heat treatment and finishing are applied to meet needs of transportation, medicine, clothing, recreation, food production, power generation, communication, housing, and other areas of life.It is using expanding technological advancement in microscopy, spectrometry and chromatography to study the structure of materials and establish material properties for different usages.

Nigeria is endowed with abundant natural resources. The solid minerals resources require expertise to harness them for sustainable national development. A measure of a nation’s economic growth and power is a function of her production of metals and materials as a whole and the per capital output. Materials and metallurgical engineers are the major players needed to achieve the responsibilities of industrialization and national development through the materials and metallurgical industry.

The Department aims to train students in fundamental engineering principles that will contribute to development of the vast resources spread across the nation and globally.

MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING PROGRAMME

 

B.ENG. MECHATRONICS ENGINEERING

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Mechatronics is the marriage of Mechanical Engineering with smart electronics and is vital to subjects such as Industrial Automation and Robotics.

To interact with an object, a mechatronic system must know where the object is, be able to move the object and place it in the required new position. The electronics require information from sensors that can detect position, orientation, and visual or audio signals. The electrical inputs from the sensors have to be interpreted and the appropriate signals sent out to the actuators to perform the required operation. A good understanding of feedback control is also required to be able to make changes in the system from one steady position to another without oscillations or unpredictable movements.

PHILOSOPHY

The philosophy of theMechatronicsEngineering Degree Programme is the development of technical manpower by teaching techniquesnecessary for the design and implementation of intelligent mechatronic systems needed for the sustainable growth and industrialization of thecountry.

OBJECTIVES

The main objectives of the Degree Programme are as follows:

  1. To train engineers to meet the urgent sustainable technological need of Nigeria as a developing nation and the global community at large.
  2. To produce technocrats who can keep up with the rapid pace of change in the Mechatronic Engineering industry worldwide.
  3. To train competent engineers that would oversee the design, manufacture and optimization of products that serve humanity.

COURSE WORK

The Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics Engineering course at the University of Benin is a 10 semester course spread over five years.

In addition, every student is required to carry out an Internal Attachment at the University Laboratories and Workshops at the end of the first year, second year andthird year.Every student is meant to carry out an industry-based industrial attachments (at approved industries with systems relevant to the curriculum) at the end of fourth year.

The Undergraduate experience is broad-base and includes, in the first two years, general education in mathematics, sciences and preliminary design courses that are common with curricula in other engineering programs.
