ABOUT OUR DEPARTMENT
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT
The Department was established in 2011 along with other departments in the Faculty of Engineering and Technology. The first set of undergraduate students for the Bachelor of Engineering (Civil) program were drawn from the Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences in 2011.
The first set of twenty-four (24) students graduated in June 2016. Since then, the Department has progressed tremendously, and a lot has been achieved.
Our department was fully accredited in 2016 and re-accredited by both the National University Commission (NUC) and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering Profession in Nigeria (COREN) in 2022.
In 2021, the department secured a NUC accreditation to start postgraduate programs in Civil Engineering with specialization in Structural Engineering, Water Resources and Environmental Engineering, and Transportation Engineering. The number of full academic staff and non-academic staff of the department as well as the number of students has increased considerably within the period.
OUR RESEARCH
HEAD OF DEPARTMENT WELCOME ADDRESS
Welcome to the Department of Civil Engineering, Kwara State University, Malete. In our department, we are committed to excellence in teaching and research to safeguard high-quality standards among our graduates and promote evolution and technological advancement. We seek to attract students who demonstrate creative analytical thinking, persistence and discipline, self-motivation, and intelligence. As the engineering field is extremely demanding, future engineering students must be able to adapt to a new dynamic environment and react positively to new challenges and opportunities. Our students are taught to be independent thinkers, create independent types of work, write technical reports, perform research on different areas of civil engineering, and present their work before classmates and faculty members. The Department also prepares our graduates to become world-class leaders and problem solvers, capable of addressing society’s needs for infrastructure (both public and private), in an African context. We are also committed to delivering a rich educational experience that is focused on student success, before and after graduation.
Therefore, I invite you to explore our webpage and learn about the department's undergraduate and graduate programs, facilities, faculty, and research activities. We also welcome contributions in ideas or other forms that may help us to provide better service to our stakeholders as we prepare to collaborate with other researchers within and outside the University. Please do not hesitate to contact me or a member of the faculty and staff for any questions regarding our department and academic programs. We are interested in helping you achieve your goals.
With best wishes.
