Foreword
Sponsored by the UNESCO-Nigeria Project in Support of Revitalisation of Technical and Vocational
Education in Nigeria
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
Goal and Objectives
Electronics and Telecommunication
The programme is aimed at producing Higher Technicians in electronic engineering for the manufacturing,
assembling and servicing industries. On completion of the programme, the diplomate should be able to:a. Solve practical problems in electronic engineering by analysis and experimentation;
b. Construct and design complex electronic circuits for use in modification or as a part of
major construction;
c. Erect, assemble and install electronic equipment and systems;
d. Carry-out routine maintenance and repairs of electronic installations, equipment and
systems;
e. Apply the basic principles of management to manage engineering industries.
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 6070 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.
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

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.

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.
