The department in addition, to the sound theoretical background given to the students in the lecture rooms also expose them to extensive relevant laboratory experimentation and exercises. In addition, the students are trained through an 8-week Students Work Experience Programme (SWEP) in Level 200, a three month supervised industrial training SIWES I in Level 300, coupled with a 6-month well organised Student Industrial Works Experience Scheme (SIWES II) during the whole of the second semester period for the Level 400 students.

The lectures received in the classroom are complemented by practical laboratory sessions in Thermodynamics, Materials Science, Solid Mechanics, Applied Mechanics, Machine Tools, Metrology, Manufacturing Processes, Control Engineering, and Fluid Mechanics
