HISTORY OF THE PROGRAM

The Systems Engineering program of the University of Lagos was established in 2000. It is a
hybrid program in which materials are selected from the classical Engineering programmes of
Mechanical and Electrical Engineering as well as Computer Science. Systems Engineering was
developed in response to the challenges faced by today’s scientific and Engineering community that
require the ability to handle large or complex systems. Systems Engineering require
interdisciplinary skills and has the objective, like other Engineering disciplines of using advances in
science and technology to empower both individuals and the society at large.

The present Department of Systems Engineering evolved out of the teaching and research activities
of the Engineering Analysis Unit (EAU) which was established early in the 1970/71 session as a
sub-unit within the Civil Engineering Department for the study and development of mathematical
techniques in the modeling and solution of Engineering problems. It later became an autonomous
academic Unit within the faculty in 1975. Only post-graduate degrees were awarded initially.

In the year 2000, the first set of undergraduate students was admitted. It comprised the following:
• UME Students (100 level),
• students from other Departments of Faculty of Engineering who were crossing over from 100
to 200 level,
• students who just completed the Diploma II programme, (200 level) and
• direct entry students (A-Level and OND) (200 level)
The criteria for admission was a CGPA of 3.50 and above (for Diploma entrants) while the OND
direct entry students were expected to have an upper credit.

1.0 ACADEMIC CONTENT
1.1 PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME
The Systems Engineer specializes in engineering modeling 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. The objectives of the
programme are:

3
• To bridge the gap between management/decision science and the Engineering
profession through the integration of decision Science/Management courses to the traditional
engineering discipline
• To produce engineers with multidisciplinary skills for today’s complex economy,
• To impart analytical and cutting-edge computing skills in Engineering training,
• To initiate and carry out engineering design, and
• To engage in management and to pursue research and development

1.2 THE CURRICULUM
The undergraduate programme in Systems Engineering provides students with basic training and skills in
analysis, design, monitoring and control of engineering systems.
Students have three study options within the major: Operations Research/Manufacturing, Robotics and
Systems Modeling and Simulation. The Operations Research/Manufacturing Option combines basic
Systems Engineering knowledge with quantified management techniques enabling the Systems Engineer
to plan, control, design and manage manufacturing operations. The Robotics option offers the Systems
Engineer expertise in the design of functional robots in an engineering environment, while the Systems
Modeling and Simulation option provides the engineer with the modern dynamic expertise of modeling
stochastic and deterministic systems by simulation and animation. In all these options, emphasis is laid
on computer applications and design of engineering systems.

1.2.1 PROGRAM TITLE

Undergraduate courses offered in the Department lead to the award of the B.Sc. (Honours) in Systems
Engineering. The Department also offers postgraduate programmes of M.Sc. and PhD degrees in Systems
Engineering.
