4 Lifelong learning 3. Basic Principles The following are the basic principles which will inform the teaching imparted in the B.Eng. programmes of the School of Science and Technology: - Human beings are moral beings whose behaviour are not mechanically determined by either internal or external factors and who cannot attain fulfilment if they restrict their activity to the pursuit of their own individual interests. - The purpose of an enterprise is not restricted to producing profits for their owners nor can the objective of maximising profit be the supreme standard of decision. Organisations are members of larger societies and must contribute to their common good. The activities of organisations must also be compatible with - and contribute to - the full human development of those who work in them. - Organisations are not mere production units. First and foremost they must be human communities where all have an opportunity to participate and contribute responsibly to the common good of the organisation and that of society. - Organisations are not justified in creating and marketing products or services by the mere fact that a demand for them exists or can be created. The value of the organisation's activity ultimately depends on its serving authentic human needs and values. - Organisations must respect the dignity of all the human persons (employees, customers, suppliers...) with whom they relate in the exercise of their activity. A person's dignity is not respected when one chooses to harm him or her, even if this is done as a means to attain some desirable objective. 4.0 Philosophy The general philosophy of the Electrical/Electronic Engineering programme is to produce graduates with high academic standard and adequate practical background for self- employment as well as being of immediate value to industry and the community in general.

PAU is to satisfy itself that the grades obtained by such candidates from their previous institution are acceptable. 7.0 The Semester Course System The undergraduate programmes will run on the Semester Course basis. There shall ordinarily be two semesters in an academic year, except the University Council through Senate shall provide otherwise. (i) Instruction in the programme shall be by courses. (ii) There shall be five levels of courses in line with the years of study. Level or year 1 courses are 100, 101 etc. and Level 2 or year 2 courses are 200, 201 etc. (iii) Students will be required to complete their registration for the courses within the period stipulated by the School. Amendment of this registration will be allowed through the addition or deletion of courses but it must take place within three weeks of the commencement of lectures. 8.0 Examination and Grading System
8 Students will be evaluated through a combination of Laboratory Experiments, Continuous Assessment Tests (30%), End-of-Semester Examinations (65%), Class participation (5%) and Class/Laboratory Attendance. To be eligible to sit for any examinations, students will be expected to attend a minimum of 80% of the lectures of any course registered for. The School reserves the right to prevent any defaulting student from sitting for the relevant examination. All courses registered for will be taken into consideration during the computation of results. Students will not be credited for courses which they did not register for, even if they are inadvertently allowed to take the examinations and pass them. Failure to take the examination in a course for which one has registered will attract a score of 0.0, which will have the consequent effect of lowering the student’s Grade Point Average. (i) Special examinations to enable a student graduate may in exceptional circumstances be held by order of Senate. (ii) Grades will be awarded based on the scores of the students as follows: Percent score Grade point Letter Grade 70 – 100 5.0 A 60 – 69.9 4.0 B 50 – 59.9 3.0 C 45 – 49.9 2.0 D 40 – 44.9 1.0 E 0 – 44.9 0.0 F For the purpose of description, a score below 2 Grade Points constitutes a failure. The following qualifications shall be applied to the grades: A Very Good B Good C Fair D Pass E F Poor Performance (iii) To obtain the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of the student, the grade point assigned to the mark obtained in each course is multiplied by the units of that course. The total from all the courses is added up to give the total weighted grade point. This total is then divided by the total number of units taken by the student to give the grade point average.
9 (iv) For the purpose of calculating a student’s CGPA, grades obtained in ALL registered courses, whether compulsory or optional and whether passed or failed, must be included in the computation. 9.0 Retention and Progression To remain in the School, students will be required to ensure that their CGPA does not fall below a certain minimum standard. A student must pass all the specified courses, and obtain a minimum CGPA of 1.5 at the end of every semester. Any student who does not meet this requirement will be placed on probation. If after one semester on probation the CGPA remains below 1.5, the student shall be asked to withdraw. A student on probation should register for a maximum of 18 credit units. 10.0 Period of Study and Requirements for the Award of a Degree The following regulations shall govern the conditions for the award of a honours degree. a) Candidates admitted through the UTME indirect entry (5-year, 10-semester programme) mode shall have registered for at least 150 units of courses during the 5-year degree programme. Candidates must have registered and passed all the compulsory courses specified for the programme. b) Candidates admitted through direct entry (4-year, 8-semester programme) mode shall have registered for at least 120 units of courses during the 4-year degree programme. The determination of the class of degree shall be based on the weighted grade points of all the courses taken. The award of the degree shall be dependent on the student having obtained a Cumulative Grade Point Average of at least 1.5 in addition to fulfilling other minimum requirements for an honours degree. The following classes of degree are approved for the CGPA indicated: Class of Degree Cumulative GPA First Class 4.50 - 5.00 Second Class (Upper Division) 3.50 – 4.49 Second Class (Lower Division 2.40 – 3.49 Third Class 1.50 – 2.39 Fail Less than 1.5 The maximum number of semesters for the award of an honours degree shall be fourteen semesters.
