Revised Five-Year Standard Undergraduate Academic Programme for BEng (Hons) in Electronic Engineering

JUNE 2017

Scope

In line with the modern trends in curriculum development all over the globe as well as the Nigerian Universities Commission regulations for engineering study in the country, students of Electronic Engineering are expected to graduate in five years (academic sessions) for UME students, four years for Direct Entry students and three years for students with B.Eng. in related areas.

In the first two years of study, different courses from all facets of learning in different departments/faculties are taught. These courses provide an overview of the broad field of Engineering. In the third year, students are exposed to both Electrical and Electronics courses with different laboratory experiments. The fourth year is a year of pure electronic courses with more laboratory courses, technical Writing and Seminar presentation and 6-month Industrial Training (IT) organized by the Student Industrial Works Experience Scheme (SIWES) in relevant industries. In the final year, students in addition to taking other final year courses must undertake and complete a bachelor of engineering final year project selected from any area of electronic engineering and with a significant practical content. The project report and design is evaluated on the basis of the continuous assessment of individual performance throughout the year and an oral examination.
