dc.description.abstractEngineering Sciences include engineering fundamentals that have roots in mathematical and natural sciences with knowledge extended to develop models and methods to solve practical problems. The types of knowledge used by engineers in their work are wide ranging and knowledge of engineering sciences is just one of the knowledge types. An engineer uses his knowledge of engineering sciences to develop a model to analyse each candidate solution proffered for a problem. Most of the courses taken by undergraduate engineering students are engineering science courses. The postgraduate courses and research are even more preponderantly in engineering sciences than undergraduate courses. The laboratory, computational facilities, manpower and funding are inadequate for teaching and research in engineering sciences in Nigerian Universities at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. To accelerate the production of enough man power to teach engineering sciences in Nigerian Universities, it is strongly recommended that funding be provided by Nigerian government for PhD students in Nigerian Universities and post-doctoral fellows who did their PhD work in Nigeria to go for 3 to 6 months research visits to universities in developed countries.en_US
