About the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering
The Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering is one of the departments of the Faculty of Engineering, University of Lagos. The Faculty was established in the 1964/65 academic year with three departments — Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering — and has since grown to offer Bachelor of Science (Honours) degrees across ten engineering disciplines, Metallurgical and Materials Engineering among them.
The Department offers a five-year undergraduate programme leading to the Bachelor’s degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering. In common with all engineering programmes in the Faculty, it is accredited by the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).
The Faculty of Engineering was founded on the recommendation of the Ashby Commission of 1959, which supported the establishment of a university in Lagos. Lagos was chosen for a faculty of engineering because of its large population and rapidly developing industrial activities, which made it the country’s largest centre of engineering activity and an ideal setting in which to train engineers.
Because Nigeria is a developing country, graduates of the Faculty are given a wider range of general engineering education than is customary in long-established industrial communities — equipping them to operate and develop the public services, to initiate and carry out engineering designs, to engage in industrial management, and to pursue development and research.
