Nigerian Institution of Mechanical Engineers · OAU Students' Chapter
Manufacturing for man's comfort
About us
NIMechE OAU Students' Chapter is the professional home of every Mechanical Engineering student at Obafemi Awolowo University — the bridge between the lecture theatre and the profession.
To unite Mechanical Engineering students of Obafemi Awolowo University under one professional body, develop their technical and leadership capacity, and represent their interests within the department, the university and the national institution.
A chapter where every student engineer graduates not only with a degree but with a portfolio, a network and the character to manufacture comfort for mankind.
History & legacy
Decades of student engineering leadership at Obafemi Awolowo University.
Long before the current name, Mechanical Engineering students of Obafemi Awolowo University organised themselves as the Mechanical Engineering Students' Association (MESA) — a departmental family that ran technical nights, inter-session competitions and welfare schemes. As the national body matured into the Nigerian Institution of Mechanical Engineers (NIMechE), the chapter re-registered as the NIMechE OAU Students' Chapter, aligning student activity with the professional institution: technical divisions, conferences, design challenges and a seat at the national table. Today the chapter runs seven technical divisions, an annual conference and exhibition, the Design & Innovation Challenge, industrial trips across Nigeria and beyond, and yearly democratic elections that hand the baton from one administration to the next.
