4.0 PROGRAMME/SUB-DISCIPLINE
The B.Eng. program in Electrical/Electronic Engineering is structured in such a way as to
reflect:
i. General University courses at 100 level. These courses include the basic sciences
of Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry as well as use of English and courses in
Philosophy. The students are also at this point introduced to basic Engineering
courses such as Engineering Drawing and Workshop Practice.
ii. Common Faculty courses prefixed ENG. From 200 level to 500 level
iii. The main program course prefixed EEE: for Electrical/Electronic Engineering
predominates the third, fourth and fifth year of study
`6
iv.
Auxiliary or ancillary courses offered by other Departments in the Faculty which
tends to broaden the technological base and scope of the program also feature as
electives at 300 level.
v. Specialized studies in Electrical/Electronic Engineering are introduced into the
third, fourth and fifth year curricula and are emphasized through experimental,
tutorials and design projects including the program for laboratory practical.
vi. A twelve months industrial attachment programme is envisaged and will be
spread across the years as follows: SWEP I which last a minimum of 6weeks or 2
months come up at the end of second semester of 200 level. SWEP II which last
for 3 months come up at the end of second semester of 300 level and SIWES
which last for 6 months runs for the whole of second semester of 400 level. SWEP
I and II designed to allow the students acquire basic specific technical skill will
normally be done in either the Faculty workshop or the advanced technology
Centre run by the Faculty. For SIWES, students will be attached to appropriate
industrial environments to enrich the students’ theoretical knowledge acquired in
class.

This procedure is repeated for the 200, 300, 400 and 500 levels and this gives rise to
the final CGPA computation at graduation.
10.0 CONTINUATION REQUIREMENT
The continuation requirement for undergraduate students in the University is a CGPA
of 1.50 at the end of every academic year.
11.0 PROBATION
This is a status granted to an Undergraduiate student whose academic performance
falls below an acceptable standard. A student whose Cumulative Grade Point Average
(CGPA) falls below 1.50 at the end of an Academic year of study, earns a probation
status for a period of one academic session. In addition, a student on probation
cannot register for more than 15 credits/units per semester. The purpose of the
restriction is to give room for the student to concentrate on improving his/her
academic performance.
12.0 WITHDRAWAL
Withdrawal is a status granted to an undergraduate student on probation whose
Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) still falls below 1.50 at the end of the
`11
probation period of one academic session. A withdrawn student is usually advised to
seek transfer to other Faculties, generally science or education.
13.0 REPEAT OF FAILED COURSE(S)
Subject to the conditions for advised withdrawal from programme and/or probation, a
student must repeat the failed course(s) at the next available opportunity, provided
that the total number of credits doesnot exceed the maximum allowed for that
semester.
14.0 TEMPORARY WITHDRAWER FROM STUDY
Any student who has genuine reason(s) to apply for temporary withdrawal from study
should apply at the beginning of the Semester to the University in writing through the
Department and Faculty stating the reason(s) for his/her application and needs to
obtain approval from Senate. The application shall specify the period (session) to be
away and the session for resumption of study. The Head of Department of the
Student should furnish the Faculty with the CGPA of the Student at the time of the
request and this may be presented to the Senate of the University.
15.0 DURATION OF STUDY.
The Maximum length of time allowed to obtain a degree in the Faculty shall be fifteen
(15) Semesters for the five year degree programme, twelve (12) Semesters for
candidates admitted directly into the 200 level and eight (8) Semesters for candidates
admitted directly into 300 level. For extension beyond the maximum period, a special
permission of Senate shall be required on the recommendation of the Faculty board.
16.0 ACADEMIC STAFF ADVISERS
Every undergraduate Student is attached to an Academic Staff Adviser who is a
member of the academic Staff of the department. The Academic Staff Adviser advises
the students on academic affairs as well as personal matters. Academic or Staff
Advisers are expected to follow their student’s academic progress and provide
counselling to them. It is the duty of the Head of Department to assign a staff adviser
to each Academic level at the beginning of each Session. Staff Advisers should give clear
information on the notice boards or on their office doors about the appropriate times
and places at which they will be available to students who wish to see or consult them.
