The Department of Engineering is one of the components of the Federal Radio Corporation of Nigeria Training School. The department offers three Programmes and certificates are awarded at the end of each programme, subject to successful completion of the course. Broadcast Engineering as a discipline is becoming the cornerstone in modern economics since its products have significantly enhanced the capacity and comfort of human beings, especially since the last half of the twentieth century.

The Objectives of this programme includes:

• Development of a fundamental and thorough understanding of Broadcast Engineering.
• Production of dynamic broadcast Engineering personnel; capable of adaptation and also resourceful in order to cope with the new trends in technological developments.
