The Department of Mechanical Engineering was established in 1970 along with the Departments of Chemical/Petrochemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Marine Engineering (established in 1974) in the School of Engineering of the former College of Science and Technology, Port Harcourt.
On the 6th of August, 1980, the law establishing the Rivers State University of Science and Technology was promulgated and it transferred to the University the assets and liabilities of the School of Engineering of the College which became the Faculty of Engineering of the University, comprising the aforementioned five departments. The Department of Agricultural Engineering joined the Faculty from the Faculty of Agriculture in 1990.
In 1984, the Council of Registered Engineers of Nigeria (COREN), the body set up by Decree No.55 of 1970 to control the practice of Engineering profession in Nigeria, gave full accreditation to the Bachelor Degree programme of the Department as well as for each of the other four Departments of the Faculty of Engineering of the Rivers State University of Science and Technology at the time. The first batch of the 18 students of the Bachelor Degree programme in Mechanical Engineering graduated in 1985.
As always, the department was given full accreditation by the National Universities Commission (NUC) in 2021.
