Department Background
The department of Mechanical Engineering is among the first departments set up in this university in 1956 in the then royal Technical College. This college was later transformed and upgraded by an Act of the East African High Commission on 25 th June 1961 into the second University College in East Africa under the name "Royal College Nairobi". On 20 th May 1964, the Royal College Nairobi was renamed University College Nairobi and on attainment of "University College" status, the institution was admitted into special relation with the University of London in February 1961. From this stage the Department of Mechanical Engineering started training students in East Africa for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering (University of London).
