HISTORY OF COMPUTER ENGINEERING
Edict No. 48 of the Federal Government of Nigeria established the Michael Okpara University of Agriculture, Umudike in May 1993. In due course, it became clear that the mission of the Institution could not be properly achieved, neither could Agriculture be successfully developed nor meaningfully utilized in the industrialization, mechanization and sustenance of the nation without an accompanying College of Engineering. Thus in 2001/2002 academic session, the College of Engineering and Engineering Technology, came into existence with the establishment of the Department of Agricultural Engineering followed in quick succession by Departments of Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering in the 2003/2004 academic session.
Computer Engineering took off in the 2004/2005 academic session and Chemical Engineering in the 2011/2012 academic session. Over the years, the Department recorded steady progress in both staff and infrastructural development under her previous and current university managements. Through selfless service and relentless efforts, the Departmental staff have endeavored despite the prevailing economic state of the educational sector of the nation to ensure we produce Engineers who are not only sound academically, but equally can compete excellently with their counterparts from other various Universities within and outside the country.
The departments run 5-year degree programmes leading to the award of the Bachelor of Engineering (B. Eng.) degree.
VISION & MISSION
The department wholly adopts the vision, mission, and Core values of the College and that of the University in achieving our desired goals and objectives.
