 General Information

The Higher National Diploma (HND) programme in Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology is designed
to impart on the students specialised and useable skills in this field of Engineering. There are three options
currently available in the programme, viz:-

(a) Electronics and Telecommunications

(b) Electrical Power and Machines
(c) Instrumentation and Control

A student is required to specialise in one option

On completion of the programme, the diplomate should be able to:

1. Assemble and install instrument and control systems

2. Design simple instrumentation and measuring systems;
3. Analyse and solve practical problems in analytical instruments and control systems

Entry Requirement

The general entry requirements for the HND programme include:

1. All the requirements for admission into the ND programme;

2. A minimum of lower credit pass (CGPA 2.50 and above) in the ND examination in
Electrical/Electronic Engineering Technology;
3. A minimum of one year cognate work experience

5
 Curriculum

The curriculum of the HND programmes consists of three main components: These are:

i. General Studies/Education
ii. Foundation Courses
iii. Professional Courses

The General Studies/Education component shall include courses in Communication Skills in English,
Engineers in the Society, Industrial Management etc. The General Education component shall account for
not more than 15% of the total contact hours for the programme.

Foundation Courses include courses in Mathematics and Statistics. The number of hours may account for
about 10-15 percent of the total hours. The professional courses are courses which give the students the
theory and practical skills he needs to practice his field of specialisation. They may account for between 60-
70 percent of the contact hours.

Curriculum Structure

The structure of the HND programme is similar to that of the ND except that SIWES at the end of the first
year is not compulsory.

Accreditation

Each option of the programme shall be accredited by NBTE before the diplomates can be awarded the
Higher National Diploma Certificate. Details about the process of accrediting a programme for the award of
the HND are available from the Executive Secretary, Programmes Division, National Board for Technical
Education, Plot B Bida Road, P. M. B. 2239, Kaduna.

6
Condition for the award of the HND

Institution offering accredited programmes will award the Higher National Diploma to candidates who
successfully completed the programme after passing prescribed course work, examinations, and diploma
project. Such candidates should have completed a minimum of between 72 and 80 Semester Credit Units.
Diploma shall be classified as follows:

1. Distinction:-GPA of 3.50 and above

2. Upper Credit:- GPA of 3.00 and 3.49
3. Lower Credit:- GPA of 2.50 and 2.99
4. Pass:- GPA of 2.00 and 2.49
5. Fail:- GPA of below and 2.00

Guidance Note for Teachers Teaching the Programme

The new curriculum is drawn in unit courses. This is in keeping with the provisions of the National Policy on
Education which stress the need to introduce the semester credit units which will enable a student who so
wish to transfer the units already completed in an institution of similar standard from which he is transferring.

In designing the units, the principle of the modular system by product has been adopted; thus making each
of the professional modules, when completed provide the student with technician operative skills, which can
be used for employment purposes.

As the success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of programmes between the institutions
and industry, the curriculum content has been written in behavioural objectives, so that it is clear to all the
expected performance of the student who successfully completed some of the courses or the diplomates of
the programme.

There is a slight departure in the presentation of the performance based curriculum which requires the
conditions under which the performances are expected to be carried out and the criteria for the acceptable
levels of performance. It is a deliberate attempt to further involve the staff of the department teaching the
programme to write their own curriculum stating the conditions existing in their institution under which the
performance can take place and to follow that with the criteria for determining an acceptable level of
performance. Departmental submission on the final curriculum may be vetted by the Academic Board of the
institution.

Our aim is to continue to see to it that a solid internal evaluation system exists in each institution for ensuring
minimum standard and quality of education in the programmes offered throughout the Polytechnic system.

7
The teaching of the theory and practical work should, as much as possible, be integrated. Practical
exercises, especially those in professional courses and laboratory work should not be taught in isolation from
the theory. For each course, there should be a balance of theory to practice in the ratio of 50:50 or 60:40 or
the reverse.

Log book

A personal Log-book to be kept by the students shall contain all the day-to-day, weekly summary, and
Semester Summary, or all the practical activities from day one to the end of the programme. This is to be
checked and endorsed by the lecturers concerned at the end of every week

 Guidelines for Text Book Writers

The following guidelines are suggestions from the Engineering Committees to the writers of the textbooks for
the new curricula. They are intended to supplement the detailed syllabuses which have been produced, and
which define the content and level of the courses.

Authors should bear in mind that the curriculum has been designed to give the students a broad
understanding of applications in industry and commerce, and this is reflected in the curriculum objectives.

1. One book should be produced for each syllabus

2. Page size should be A4

3. The front size should be 12 point for normal text and 14 point where emphasis is needed

4. Line spacing should be set to 1.5 lines

5. Headings and subheadings should be emboldened

6. Photographs, diagrams and charts should used extensively throughout the book, and these items must
be up-to-date

7. In all cases the material must be related to industry and commerce, using real life examples wherever
possible so that the book is not just a theory book. It must help the students to see the subject in the
context of the 'real word"

8. The philosophy of the courses is one of an integrated approach to theory and practice, and as such the
books should reflect this by not making an artificial divide between theory and practice.

9. Illustrations should labeled and numbered.

10. Examples should drawn from Nigeria wherever possible, so that the information is set in a country
context.

11. Each chapter should end with student self-assessment questions (SAG) so that students can check their
own master of the subject

12. Accurate instructions should be given for any practical work having first conducted the practical to check
that the instructions do indeed work

13. The books must have a proper index or table of contents, a list of references and an introduction based
on the overall course philosophy and aims of the syllabus.

14. Symbols and units must be listed and a unified approach used throughout the book

15. In case of queries regarding the contents of the books and the depth of information, the author must
contact the relevant curriculum committee via the National Board for Technical Education

16. The final draft version of the books should be submitted to Nigerian members of the curriculum working
groups for their comments regarding the content in relation to the desired syllabus.
