 GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 CERTIFICATION AND TITLE OF THE PROGRAMME:

The certificate to be awarded and the programme title shall read: “HIGHER NATIONAL DIPLOMA IN COMPUTER
ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY”

GOAL AND OBJECTIVES Goal

The Higher National Diploma programme (HND) in Computer Engineering Technology is designed to produce technologists capable of working
in manufacturing, servicing and related industries.

Objectives
On completion of HND in Computer Engineering Technology programme, the diplomates should be able to:
a) Carry out maintenance and repairs on computer hardware and installations;
b) Supervise the setting up, installation and configuration of computer systems, peripherals and networks;
c) Design electronic and logic circuits for use in modification of computer system;
d) Design and implement computer networks;
e) Perform programming of micro-controllers and embedded systems;
f) Apply artificial intelligence (AI) techniques; and
g) Establish and manage an enterprise.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
The entry requirements for HND in Computer Engineering Technology Programme are as follows:
i. All the requirements for admission into National Diploma in Computer Engineering Technology;
ii. National Diploma in Railway Engineering Technology with a minimum of lower credit pass; and
iii. A minimum of one year post National Diploma industrial training/work experience in railway or related industries;
or

2
 iv. Candidates with ND at pass level and a minimum of two-year post-ND Industrial Training/work experience may also
be considered.

4.0 DURATION
The programme is designed to run for a minimum of four semesters, which is two academic sessions.

CURRICULUM
The curriculum of the HND Programme consists of the following four main components:
 General Studies/Education;
 Foundation courses;
 Professional/Core Courses;
 Project

The General Education component shall include courses in: English Language, Communication, and Entrepreneurship
Development. The General Education component shall account for not more than 10 - 15% of the total contact hours for
the programme.

Foundation courses include courses in Mathematics, Information and Communication Technology, Engineering. The
number of hours for the foundation courses for the programme may account for about 10-15% of the total contact hours.

Professional courses are core courses of the programme that give the student the theory, practical and professional skills
he needs to practice his field of calling at the technologist level. These may account for between 60-70% of the contact
hours.

3
CURRICULUM STRUCTURE
The structure of the HND Programme consists of four semesters of classroom, laboratory and workshop activities in the
Institution. Each semester shall be of 17 weeks duration made up as follows:
i. 15 contact weeks of teaching, i.e. lecture recitation and practical exercises, etc.; and
ii. 2 weeks for tests, quizzes, examinations and registration.

7.0 ACCREDITATION
The National Board shall accredit the Higher National Diploma programme for Technical Education before the diplomates
can be awarded the certificates. Details about the process of accrediting a programme for the award of the Higher
National Diploma are available from the Executive Secretary, National Board for Technical Education, Plot “B”, Bida Road,
P.M.B. 2239, Kaduna, Nigeria.

8.0 CONDITIONS FOR AWARD OF HIGHER NATIONAL DIPLOMA

 Distinction - CGPA of 3.5 and Above
 Upper Credit - CGPA of 3.00 - 3.49
 Lower Credit - CGPA of 2.50 - 2.99
 Pass - CGPA of 2.00 - 2.49.

GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS OF 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 similar standard from which he/she 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 provides the student with technician operative skills, which can be used for
employment purposes self - and otherwise.

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. This is slight departure
in the presentation of the performance based curriculum which requires the conditions under which the performance 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 he programme to write their own curriculum stating the

5
 conditions existing in their institution under which performance can take place and to follow that with the criteria for
determining an acceptance level of performance. The Academic Board of the institution may vet departmental submission
on the final curriculum. 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.

The teaching of the theory and practical work should, as much as possible, are 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 practical in the ratio of 50:50 or 60:40 or the reverse.

FINAL YEAR PROJECT

Final year students in this programme are expected to carry out a project work. This could be on individual basis or group
work. The project should, as much as possible incorporates basic element of design, drawing and complete fabrication of a
marketable item or something that can be put to use. Project reports should be well presented and should be properly
supervised. The departments should make their own arrangement of schedules for project work.

The laboratory practical contains few sessions dedicated to introduce the students to some of the popular professional graphics packages and
CAD packages to explore their features. The course/laboratory instructor recommends packages to use.
The algorithm implementation sessions may include:
1. Implementation of DDA and BLA
2. Implementation of circle and ellipse drawing algorithms
3. 2D transformations
4. Projections
5. 3D transformations.
