General Information
1.0 Title of the Programme
National Innovative Diploma in Automotive Mechatronics
1.1 Aim and Objectives of the Programme
The National Innovative Diploma in Automotive Mechatronics is aimed at providing solutions to the service maintenance
problems of high technology motor vehicles through the production of competent craftsmen and women who will be
enterprising and self reliant.
On completion of this programme, the Trainees should be able to:
i. Function as technicians in automotive and related establishments
ii. Carryout necessary general tests procedures, standard diagnosis and faults rectification in modern vehicles
iii. Demonstrate the use of different sophisticated diagnostic equipment for fault detection and rectification in various
modern vehicles brands
iv. Observe relevant safety in Automotive Mechatronics Engineering practice
v. Interpret wiring diagrams, fault codes, as well as technical reference materials.
2.0 Entry Qualification:
The minimum entry qualification into the National Innovative Diploma in Automotive Mechatronics programme is Post Basic
Education Certificate (Post Junior Secondary School Certificate).
3.0 Structure of the programme
The National Innovative Diploma (NID) in Automotive Mechatronics Programme is in flexible modular form, and is
structured to have three parts (i.e. NVC Part I, NID Part II, and NID Final each taken in a span of one year. Each part shall have
a cogent and flexible structure and content that would allow the trainee a practical working skill unit and the possibility to exit
at that level. Each part incorporates six months intensive training in the school and three months of supervised industrial work
experience (SIWES). In a 14 weeks term, 12 weeks will be for academic activities while 2 weeks will be for registration and
evaluation. For a 40hrs week, 6hrs will be for core theory courses; 2hrs General education courses and 32 hrs will be for
practical.
4.0 Evaluation Scheme
The National Innovative Diploma Examination must be externally moderated. In grading the awards; theory shall constitute-
20%, practicals – 50% and SIWES - 30%. If there are group practical/projects, trainees must be assessed periodically on
individual basis and records kept. Note that trainees are to be assessed on completion of every module.
The grading shall be Distinction (70 and above), credit (55 – 69), Pass (40 – 54), Fail (0 -39) kept.
