Engineering is the application of scientific knowledge to optimize the utilization of natural resources for the benefit of humanity. It involves using mathematics to solve problems and is globally recognized as a profession. Aspiring students who wish to pursue a career in engineering must consider why they want to be an engineer and what qualities are required to become one.

Being an engineer provides an opportunity to solve significant problems faced by communities, local governments, cities, countries, and the world at large. However, not everyone is suitable for studying engineering. A genuine curiosity to solve problems, combined with a strong command of mathematics and physical sciences, is necessary to excel in this field. There are various branches of engineering to cater to different interests and nurture engineers with specialized knowledge in their chosen field.

The Faculty of Engineering at the University of Agriculture and Environmental Sciences, Umuagwo, currently offers six engineering departments of Engineering: Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering, Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Electronic, Petroleum, and Mechanical all of which have been accredited by the National University Commission (NUC). The faculty's blueprint allows for potential growth in programs to meet emerging challenges and societal needs.
