HANDBOOK
FOR

B. ENG DEGREE PROGRAMME

2016-2018
1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Brief History of the Program

The University of Port Harcourt was established by the Federal
Military Government in 1975 as a University College. Its
establishment was the culmination of a long and sustained
demand for a university in Port Harcourt prior to and following
the report of the Asbhy Commission of 1960 which recommended
the establishment of an Institute of Technology. Following the
establishment of the University College of Port Harcourt in early
1975, the Federal Military Government announced in September
of the same year the appointment of a distinguished Nigerian
scholar, Professor Donald E. U. Ekong, as the Institution's first
Principal.

The Electrical/Electronic Engineering Programme commenced in

1979. It is a five-year programme leading to a Bachelor’s degree
(B.Eng) in Electrical/Electronic Engineering. The curriculum was
drawn to produce a balanced Electrical/Electronic Engineer
because we believe that it is not in the interest of the young
Engineer to be introduced to a premature specialization. This
philosophy has proved to be right over the years.

The programme has been reviewed thrice since inception and

these exercises were occasioned by the NUC accreditation
programme in 1991, 1999 and 2010.

In 1987 the Faculty of Engineering introduced the Master of

Engineering Management (MEM) programme. This is a two-year
programme with a curriculum that reflects a blend of Management

1
and Advanced Engineering principles. The degree awarded is
MEM in any of the five disciplines (Chemical, Civil,
Electrical/Electronic, Mechanical and Petroleum) depending on
the candidate’s background.

In 1996 the department of Electrical/Electronic Engineering

started a Master’s programme. It is a two-year programme leading
to the award of M.Eng in Power and Machines and
Electronics/Telecommunications Engineering. In 2014, a
Doctorate degree program was approved by Senate.

1.2 Philosophy and Objectives

The philosophy is to produce a well-balanced
Electrical/Electronic engineer. The objectives are:

(i) That the product of the programme should be a

competent Electrical/Electronic Engineer, but an
expert in one of the specializations in the discipline.
(ii) That the product of the programme should be confident
enough to establish a small engineering business if
ready –made jobs are not available.
(iii) Finally that the product of the programme can pursue a
post-graduate programme in one of the areas in
Electrical/Electronic Engineering.

1.3 Admission Requirements

Candidates applying to the undergraduate programme in
Electrical/Electronic Engineering should have five credit pass in
Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics, English language and

2
Biology(or Agricultural science) at WAEC and/or NECO at not
more than two sittings.

Candidates are also expected to have a minimum score of 200 out

of 400 in both the UME and post UME before they can be
admitted into the department

1.4 Electrical/Electronic Engineering Programme

Structure
The programme structure in Electrical/Electronic Engineering
requires five academic calendar years (of ten semesters) of which
nine of the ten semesters are actually used for formal class
room/laboratory studies. One semester (in the fourth year) and the
two long vacations (at the end of second and third and year) are
used for industrial training. At the fifth year of studies, students
are assigned research project topics and design project topics
which they are expected to defend at the end of the tenth semester
under an external examiner not below the rank of a Professor.

- New concepts and practices in education for
sustainable development;
- As much as possible, courses should address regional,
national and global perspectives and consider issues
bordering on development and growth, unemployment
and employability, energy crises, etc.

3.4 CATEGORIES OF COURSES

General Studies Courses
General Studies Courses (GES) are University-wide
courses at appropriate levels of the degree programme,
the purpose of which shall be to improve the basic
intellectual, analytical ability, communication and
entrepreneurial skills of the students and to promote a
continuous awareness and understanding of
10
 contemporary society as well as the historical and
cultural origins of the peoples of Nigeria. General
Studies Courses (GES) must be passed.

Foundation Courses
These are common courses in the same Faculty
(Faculty-wide Courses) from which all students shall
take an approved selection in at least the first year, the
purpose of which shall be to provide a sound
background in general principles and methodology
relating to the disciplines in the Faculty. Various
Foundation (Faculty-wide) courses are prescribed by
each Department.

Major courses
These are courses in the student’s major field of interest.
Courses in major disciplines occupy most of the
curriculum in the third and subsequent years of the
regular five-year structure. All students are advised to
be acquainted with the requirements of their
Department/Faculty.
Elective Courses
Elective courses offer some opportunities to students to
broaden their interests and to meet the required credit unit,

11
 either within or outside their major disciplines. Subject to
the advice of their academic advisers, students are
encouraged to follow their personal interests in electives.

Audited Courses
A student may choose to audit some courses either within
or outside his major discipline in order to broaden his
interest. Audited courses are not used in calculating the
student’s cumulative grade point average, but may be
included in the transcript provided that the student
registered for the courses and sat for the prescribed
examinations.

Community Service Course

This is a field project directed towards service to the
community or to the University and is an integral part of
all degree programmes. The objective of the project is to
involve both staff and students in a practical way with
some of the problems of society as well as with efforts to
provide solutions to them, and to inculcate and develop in
both staff and students a consciousness of their
responsibilities to society and the satisfaction of rendering
service to others.

12
 The projects, which are practical in nature, require the
application of some of the skills being acquired in the
degree programme to serve the community and involve
manual work. They are credit-earning and area essential
requirement for all degree programmes. The Director of
Community Service shall approve all projects.

The Community Service Course must be passed.

3.5 GUIDELINES FOR COURSE SYSTEM AND

INSTRUCTION

1. For purposes of teaching and examination, the academic

year is divided into two semesters, each of approximately
sixteen weeks.
2. Instruction shall be by courses and every proposed course
with an outline of contents must be presented to the Senate
of the University for approval.
3. The unit of credit for a course is the credit unit (CU), one
credit unit being when a class meets for one hour every
week for one semester in a lecture or tutorial, or for 3
hours every week in practical in the laboratory, workshop
or fieldwork.

13
4. Each course carries 1 to 3 credit units, and its duration is
normally one semester, except Final Year Project and
Industrial Training (Student Industrial Work Experience
Scheme – SIWES).
5. The normal course load for a full-time student is 15 to 24
credit units per semester. No student is permitted to
register for less than 15 or more than 24 credit units in any
semester. This does not apply to students on
fieldwork/industrial attachment/teaching practice during
vacation periods and those in the Faculty of Law (where
the maximum credit unit is 28 for law students).
6. For each course, students shall be continuously assessed
and examined at the end of the semester in which the
course is given.
7. Re-sit examinations are not permitted in the degree
programmes in the University /Department.
8. Students are required to obtain a minimum of 75%
attendance at lectures/tutorials and/or
laboratory/practical sessions to be eligible for
examination in the courses.

University directs otherwise.

4. The pass mark for undergraduate courses is 40%.

15
5. When re-registering failed courses, students must not
exceed the maximum number of 24 credit units for one
semester. Any course(s) which would cause the
maximum to be exceeded must be deferred to the
following academic year.

6. Students are not allowed to repeat courses which they

have passed.

7. It is mandatory that a student presents and defends his/her

project to earn a degree.

3.7 CRITERIA FOR GRADUATING STUDENTS

1 Students may be allowed to graduate with a maximum of

any two (2) failed courses, provided these are not
Foundation courses, Major courses, Research Projects,
Design Project, Teaching Practice, Student Industrial
Work Experience Scheme (SIWES), GES Courses, Year
Abroad Programme and Community Service Course.

3.8 ACADEMIC ADVISERS

1 The Head of every department shall assign every student
to an academic adviser who is a member of the academic
staff who will advise him/her on academic matters.
Academic advisers are expected to follow their students’
academic progress and provide counselling to them.

2 Academic Advisers should give explicit information

about appropriate times at which they will be available to
students who wish to consult them.

3.9 REGISTRATION OF COURSES

1 The period for normal registration is the first three weeks
of each academic year, excluding the orientation week or
as adjusted by the appropriate authorities of the
University.

2 Course registration is the responsibility of the student’s

parent Department or Faculty/College as the case may be.
General Studies courses shall also be registered at the
School of General Studies. The Head of

18
 Department/Academic Adviser should guide the students
on the courses to register.

3 In registering students, the parent department should

ensure that students re-register all previously failed
courses. Furthermore, the total credit units registered
should not be less than 15 or more than 24 per semester.

4 Registration of courses is online, after that, the student

should submit a copy of his/her Course Registration
Printout to the Head of Department or any other officer
designated for that assignment. Note that the processes
must be completed six (6) weeks upon resumption.

5 The registration portal will be shut down one month to

the first semester examination. Therefore, any student
who fails to pay his/her school charges and register
his/her courses online one month to the First Semester
examination in a session loses his/her studentship for that
session. Note that the lost session shall form part of the
total duration allowed for the programme.

6 Students are not allowed to sit for examinations in

courses for which they have not previously registered.

19
 Such actions are fraudulent, and culprits will be
appropriately disciplined.

7 Only results of bonafide students (that is, those who have

paid their school charges and registered their courses
online) will be published online.

8 A list of students who registered for each course should

be kept. This list should be displayed for one week
immediately after the close of registration for necessary
corrections.

9 The Parent Faculty and the parent Department will retain

one copy each of this list and forward copies to the
Teaching Faculty is distributed as follows: one to the
Faculty, one to the Department and one to the Course
Lecturer. This list becomes the official register for the
course examination.

11 Application for adding or dropping a course must be made

on the prescribed ADD/DROP form after obtaining the
approval of the Head of Departments concerned, not later
than four weeks after the commencement of lectures. Any
change of course made by altering the hard copy of the
course registration form will be null and void.

20
3.10 TIME TABLES
1. The lecture timetable should be released at least two
weeks before the first day of lectures. For large classes,
the different streams shall be allocated the same slot on
the timetable and the streams taught in parallel classes
running at different venues.

2. The examination timetable shall be released at least

three weeks before the scheduled date of the start of
examinations.

3. Examinations involving University-wide or Faculty-wide

courses shall be conducted in the first week of
examinations. At the time of such examinations, no
other examination shall be scheduled, so as to enable
enough space and invigilators to be available.

4. Scheduled times and dates for examinations must be

adhered to. If it is found necessary to reschedulean
examination, this must be with the permission of the
Chairman, Timetable Committee and the Provost or
Dean of the Faculty.

21
3.11 TEACHING
1. Large classes shall be co-taught, and no class shall
exceed 500. The assignment of lecturers to teach the
different streams of students in any of these large
classes shall be done at a properly constituted
Departmental Board meeting of the parent department.

2. The co-ordination and the teaching of Faculty and

University-wide courses involving freshmen should be
restricted to senior academic staff, not below the rank of
Senior Lecturer.

3. Heads of Departments should ensure that lecturers take

their teaching assignments seriously. In particular,
course outlines based on the approved course
descriptions must be made available to the students free
of charge at the commencement of lectures.

4. Continuous assessment normally constitutes 30% of the

marks for the course. The continuous assessment must
be administered during the teaching period and not as a
test immediately preceding the examination or as an
extra question on the examination paper.
3.12 GRADING SYSTEM
1. The following system of grade points shall be used:

22
 MARK/SCORE LETTER NOTATION GRADE POINT

70% and above A 5.00

60 – 69 B 4.00
50 – 59 C 3.00
45 – 49 D 2.00
40 – 44 E 1.00
0 – 39 F 0.00

2 Students are obliged , to sit for examinations in all

registered courses. Any student who fails to sit for a
course examination without satisfactory reason earns the
grade of ‘F’ and must re-register for the course.

3.13 COMPUTATION OF GRADE POINT AVERAGE

1 Every course carries afixed number of Credit Units
(CU), one Credit Unit being when a class meets for one
hour every week for one semester, or three hours every
week in the laboratory, workshop or field.

2 Quality points (QP) are derived by multiplying the

Credit Units for the course by the Grade Points earned
by the student: e.g. in a course with 3 Credit Units in
which a student earned a B with 4 Grade Points; the
Quality Point is 3 x 4=12.

23
3 Grade Point Average (GPA) is derived by dividing the
Quality Points for the semester by the Credit Units for
the semester: e.g. in a semester where the student earned
56 Quality Point for 18 Credit Units, the GPA is 56 ÷18
= 3.11.

4 Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is derived by

adding the Total Quality Points (TQP) to date and
dividing by the Total Credit Units (TCU) to date: e.g. if
the TQP is 228 and the TCU is 68, then the CGPA is
228 ÷ 68 = 3.35.

5 Detailed example of how to calculate GPA and CGPA

are shown below:

programme. Such a student may be re-admitted upon
application to the Senate of the University through the
Department/Faculty, showing the acceptable reason for
re-admission.
8 Resumption of Studies
The student should notify the University at the time
he/she resumes studies with evidence of approval of
temporary withdrawal from studies.
