Candidates with qualifications as in (a) and (b) above may be admitted into the 299 level and those with the qualifications in (c) may be admitted into the 300 credit passes in relevant subjects as specified in (i) above.

3.0       Graduation Requirement

To satisfy the requirements for graduation, a student must take and pass the minimum units specified in the programme before he/she can qualify for the award of a degree in Engineering or Technology.  This includes passing all compulsory General Studies Courses and the Industrial Training courses.

6.1       Degree Classifications

The determination of the class of degree shall be based on the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) earned at the end of the the programme.  The GPA is computed by dividing the total number of credit points (TCP) by the total number of units (TNU) for all the courses taken in the semester.  The CGPA shall be used in the determination of the class of degree as summarized in Table 1.1.

 

Table 1.1: Degree Classification

CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE	CLASS OF DEGREE
4.50 – 5.00	First Class
3.50 – 4.49	Second Class Upper
2.40 – 3.49	Second Class Lower
1.50 – 2.39	Third Class
1.00 – 1.49	Pass

6.2       Course Duration

The maximum length of time allowed to obtain a degree in the College shall be fourteen semester for the 5-year degree programme and twenty semesters for students admitted directly into the 200 level.  For extension beyond the maximum period, a special permission of Senate shall be required on the recommendation of the College Board.

6.3       Probation

A student whose Cumulative Grade Point Average is below 1.00 at the end of a particular year of study, earns a period of probatiob for one academic session. A student on probation is allowed to register for courses at the next higher level in addition to his/her probation level courses provided that: The maximum of 18 credit units per semester is not exceeded.

(a)        the regulation in respect of student work-load is complied with; and

(b)        the pre-requisite courses for the higher level courses have been passed.

(c)        Universities are enjoined to run comparable syllabi to enable students who transfer from

            One University to another transfer their credits wholly.

 

6.4       Withdrawal

A candidate whose Cumulative Grade Point Average is below 1.00 at the end of a particular year of probation should be required to withdraw from the University. However in order to minimise waste of human resources, consideration is usually given to withdrawal from programme of study and possible transfer to other programmes within the University.

6.5       Grade Point Average and Cumulative Grade point Average

Grading of courses shall be done by a combination of percentage marks and letter grades translated into a graduated system of Grade Point Equivalents (GPE).  For the purpose of determining a student’s standing at the end of evcery semester, the Grade Point Average (GPA) system shall be used.  The GPA is computed by dividing the total number of credit points (TCP) by the total number of units (TNU) for all the courses taken in the semester.  The credit point for a course is computed by multiplying the number of units for the course by the Grdae Point Equivalent of the marks scored in the course.  Each course

1.0                   THE CURRICULUM

 

Revised programme for the Department which took effect from the 2009/2010 academic session is

(a)           UNDERGRADUATE ACADEMIC PROGRAMME FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL/ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING          

(b)          AIMS, OBJECTIVES AND PHILOSOPHY

 

The Bachelor of Engineering Programme offered by the Department of Electrical/Electronics Engineering is designed to produce first class degree Electrical/Electronics Engineering graduate armed with adequate theoretical knowledge and practical experience for successful and fruitful career in Electrical/Electronics Engineering. To achieve this, the programme is designed as follows:

 

For each semester, in the two semester academic year of 15 weeks per semester, a student on the programme normally carries 18 credit units of academic load of entirely theoretically courses on one hand and entirely laboratory courses on the other.

 

In addition to the laboratory courses/exercises, there is students’ Practical Work Experience which includes the second year activity of extensive operation and the uses of the Engineering equipments, machines and tools to realize design prototypes as well as two long vacations and one semester of Industrial Work Experience in the third and fourth years of the programme. The workshop practice in the faculty of Engineering workshops prepares the studentsfor the Industrial Work Experience (in skill and industrial practice).

 

The first and second years of the programme is also designed to make the students deepen and strength their basic knowledge in Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Social Science, Electrical/Electronics Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil Engineering and Computer Programming. The broad based knowledge in the above named disciplines enhances the practice of Electrical/Electronics Engineering in relation to these other disciplines.

 

In the third, fourth, and fifth years of the programme, the students are made to spend most of their study time on the major areas of Electrical Engineering while at the same offering them advanced courses in Mathematical, Computational and Programming methods which constitute a vital and an indispensable in efficient and productive engineering practice. These major areas comprise Electrical Machines, Electronics, power systems, power electronics, communications, control engineering, electromagnetic fields. All coupled with well designed supplementary courses in Instrumentation and computers. The final year (5th year) study programme also includes a final year project electives to further deepen the students’ research capabilities and selectable electives to further deepen the students’ knowledge in the above named specialist areas in Electrical/Electronics Engineering for the final year project and each student is required to submit a project report and may be orally examined on the report.

 

Attempt is made to have optimum time sharing in the different modes of teaching the course. In the theoretical courses, there is one hour of tutorial for every four hours of lecture. To reflect the importance of practical exercises in the programme, 9 hours per week is averagely devoted to practical exercises out of a total of 24 contact hours per week for lectures, tutorials and practical work.

The grading system is designed such that students final percentage grade in a given course is shared between continuous assessment and end-of -semester final examination. For entirely theoretical courses, continuous assessment ( Quizzes, tutorials, Homework, Tests) constitute 30% of the final percentage grade while the final examination makes up the remaining 70 percent . for entirely laboratory course, laboratory exercises and the reports constitute 100% of the final grade.

 

A students final grade in a course and overall performance in the degree programme are based on the five point system tabulated as follows.

 

 

 

% age score	70-100	60-69	50-59	45-49	40-44	00-39
Letter Grade	A	B	C	D	E	F
Grade point	5	4	3	2	1	0

 

 

An engineering graduate, so trained as described above is therefore basically equipped to the above to perform the following functions in the course of his/her professional practices.

(a)           Design, realize/construct, operate, make use of, install and maintain electrical engineering components, machines, equipment and systems and

(b)          Grow through industrial practice, further studies and/or research in the development of improved electrical devices and systems and in the advancement of electrical engineering knowledge.

However, the Department makes substantial effort to acquire current local and international textbooks and journals to complement research and development efforts being carried on in the Department. In addition, both staff and students are encouraged to register with local and international professional societies (such as NSE and IEE/IEEE) and to subscribe to the technical journals of such societies in order to help them keep abreast with developments in Electrical/Electronics Engineering Knowledge and practice.

(c)            Programme/sub-discipline/Discipline structure to include period of studies in the universities Industrial training, planned visit and projects.

The programme period of study for the Bachelor’s degree (B.Eng.) is supposed to last for five years of two semesters in each academic year or session.
