UNIVERSITY OF LAGOS DEPARTMENT OF SYSTEMS ENGINEERING

SECTION 2: PHILOSOPHY The general philosophy is to produce graduates with high academic standard and adequate practical background for self employment as well as being of immediate value to industry and the community in general. Our mission and vision are same with that of the larger UNILAG institution. We produce versatile or multi-skilled engineers who are ever-ready and willing to contribute to societal development by optimally harnessing available resources. The Systems Engineer specializes in engineering modeling, analysis and the general deployment of cybernetics and artificial intelligence concepts in the planning, design, operation and management of engineering activities especially in areas such as: • Information and Communication Technologies • Reactor devices and processes • Energy systems • Engineering manufacturing processes • Operations, control and monitoring of electro-mechanical devices and systems • Engineering graphics, simulation and animation • Risk management in engineering systems. It is now generally accepted that effective solutions to problems involving both society and technology must be based on broad systems point of view. Such solutions integrate the technical requirements with other increasingly important factors including social, human and political parameters. In fact, when large-scale problems are under study, few people can be expected to be fully knowledgeable in the complete span of factors and parameters, which must be considered. For such cases, inter-disciplinary teams arrive at solutions, where each member contributes his own special expertise. In order to work effectively on such teams, each member needs to be aware of the fundamental systems and design aspects of the problem. The programme provides students with basic training and skills in analysis, designs, monitoring and control of engineering systems. The programme stresses the importance of humanistic and societal concerns as they shape the designer’s approach to solution of problems confronting the modern society. The Systems Engineer therefore strives to serve the dual needs of the society for the design of reliable and efficient systems, whilst protecting the overall integrity of the host environment. SECTION 3: AIMS/OBJECTIVES AIM: To produce knowledgeable and ethical Systems Engineers with multidisciplinary skills for the evolving society. OBJECTIVES: The objectives of the programme are to:

i. Initiate and carry out engineering design and prototyping of various systems as well as serve as conducive learning environment for suitable candidates.

ii. Impart cutting-edge analytical, management and computing skills in our students to enable them innovate, maintain and optimally run modern engineering systems.

2  

iii. Inspire and equip students so they would be able to pursue research and development in all areas of Systems Engineering for national development.

iv. Produce graduate Systems Engineers of high standard that would be registrable with national and international professional bodies such as NSE, COREN and INCOSE.

SECTION 4: RATIONALE/JUSTIFICATION The programme aligns with institutional mission of UNILAG and fills a vital national need of training/provision of systems engineers for national development. As the pioneer field of study in the nation we are at a vantage position to meet industrial needs and train others for the academia. Our specific contributions to the national economy are:

i. The training of students and provision of graduates skilled in various aspects of Systems Engineering such as industrial and information engineering, mechatronics/robotics, artificial intelligence, engineering analysis and management.

ii. The provision of personnel skilled in engineering design and research who could serve as consultants in various sectors of the economy.

iii. Our output could man both private and public sector agencies, industries and international organizations.

iv. Our human resource, both staff and graduates could serve as educators/examiners for other institutions of learning.

v. Our graduates could initiate engineering projects and supervise their implementation, manage people, fund, materials and equipment as well as improve on indigenous technology to enhance local problems solving capability.

SECTION 5: ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS All candidates seeking admission into the Bachelors program must possess Five Credits in one sitting/result of Senior Secondary School Examination (SSCE) or its equivalent in Mathematics, English Language, Further Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
