Welcome to the School of Engineering Dean’s Office!
My dear students,
I welcome you to the School of Engineering at the American University of Nigeria (AUN). As you begin your academic journey, I strongly encourage you to make the School of Engineering catalog your primary guide. It outlines the philosophy, objectives, academic structure, codes of conduct, and five year course plans of our engineering programs, in line with the National Universities Commission (NUC) requirements.
While science focuses on understanding, engineering focuses on doing. Engineering is about identifying real problems and designing practical solutions. At AUN, you will develop strong problem-solving, design, and analytical skills through a balance of theory and hands-on practice, supported by world-class faculty and modern laboratories.
Our programs emphasize innovation, entrepreneurship, and sustainable development. You will benefit from small class sizes, a fully digital learning environment, study abroad opportunities through our global partners, and an active student life. As a student of the School of Engineering, you are also a member of the Engineering Students’ Society (ESS), dedicated to solving societal challenges locally and globally.
I once again welcome you to the School of Engineering and wish you a rewarding and successful academic experience at AUN.
