PROGRAMME PHILOSOPHY

The disciplines of Science are the foundation of technological development and advancement with attendant contributions to national growth and development. The progress of science in recent years has been spectacular and the growth of chemical industries coupled with the training of professional Chemists has had an enormous influence on human life and National development.

The training of students revolves round the broad strategy of human resources development with its broader goals of social and political modernization. The Industrial Chemistry  programme is involved in the training of quality Chemists that can be employed in chemical and allied industries, oil and gas, brewery, polymer and petrochemicals, food and beverage industries, research institutes, academics and self-employed thereby contributing to national development.

Our courses are structured to allow conglomeration of theoretical knowledge along with their applications in a growing scientific world thus emphasizing on the applications as well as theoretical aspects. This is intended to meet the current and future needs of Nigerian society.

These considerations lead to the concepts on which the following model curricula for Industrial Chemistry programme is structured.

1. The need for broad training in the field of Chemistry.
2. The need for skill acquisition to ensure competence in one’s chosen field of study
3. The need for interdisciplinary orientation to imbibe the culture and rewards of interdisciplinary approach to solution of complex life problems.
4. The need for social relevance, to ensure social acceptability and service delivery.

Electrical and Electronics Engineering is one of the three pioneer programmes of the School of Engineering and Engineering Technology. It is a programme designed for completion in five years, leading to the award of Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Vision of the programme is to produce globally competent graduates that are well-equipped with in-depth technical knowledge and practice of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, and possessing the capacity to address both national and international societal challenges. The Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering started full academic activities in the 2017/2018 academic session and graduated its first set in the 2023/2024.

The Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department is fully equipped with teaching laboratory and workshop facilities such that are mandatory for training students in the science and the technology of electrical and electronics engineering. Both the academic and the technical staff of the department are qualified, vibrant and well experienced. Most of the academic staff are PhD degree holders, while there are few ones who are currently at different levels of completing the PhD. The department is currently headed by a Professor of Power System Resilience and Renewable Electric Microgrid.

The department operates academic curriculum that is tailored along the Core Curriculum and Minimum Academic Standard (CCMAS) as stipulated by the National Universities Commission (NUC), as well as the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) Benchmark Minimum Academic Standards (BMAS) documents. These policy papers allow for the realization of the philosophy and objectives of the programme through proper utilization of facilities and equipment for teaching and research in the laboratories. At present, the department is fully ready to commence postgraduate studies in the three specializations of Power Systems, Instrumentation and Control, and Telecommunication.
