ENTRY REQUIREMENT

(a)        National Diploma (ND) Programme

In order to be admitted into any of the diploma programmes of the department, a candidate must satisfy the minimum entry repuirements and in addition to the departmental requirements: -

1. A credit pass in not more than two sittings with five credits pass in:

        i.            English language

      ii.            Mathematics

    iii.            Chemistry

    iv.            Physics

      v.            Biology or any other subjects from the following:

        i.            Agricultural Science

      ii.            Economics

    iii.            Geography

1. Five credit passes in relevant subjects as stated in (a) above obtained at the final examination of an NBTE recognized preliminary ND programmes offered by the polytechnics and similar post-secondary technical institutions.
2. Higher National Diploma (HND) Programme:

The general entry requirement for the HND Mechanical Engineering shall be:

-          All the requirements for admission into the ND Mechanical Engineering Programme plus

-          A minimum of lower credit pass (GPA – 2.5 and above) in the ND programme.

-          A minimum of one year post ND cognate work experience.

-          Pass the entrance examination as set out by the department.

Note:   In few exceptional cases,ND graduate with a pass (CGPA of 2.00-2.49) in ND that have worked for two or more years in the field of study may be considered for admission into HND programme. The number of such candidates, however, should not be more than 10% of the number of student in the class.

 

CONDITION FOR THE AWARDS OF ND/HND

The National Diploma will be awarded to candidates, who have successfully completed the programme course work, after passing the prescribed examinations, diploma project and supervised industrial work experience. Such candidates must have completed a minimum of between 118 semester credit units.

The Higher National Diploma is in two areas of specialization: Power/Plantand Manufacturing Engineering options and will be awarded to candidates who have successfully completed the programme course work and research projects, after passing the prescribed examinations. Such candidates should have completed a minimum of 118 semester credit units.

A minimum of two years is allowed for the ND programme and also for the HND programme while a maximum of four years is allowed for each programme. A student cannot repeat a class twice.

CLASSIFICATION OF GRADING SYSTEM

The grade point average (GPA) system shall be used in processing examination diploma results (ND/HND). The following letters and grade point equivalent shall be used.

Mark (%)	Grade	Point Equivalent
75 above	A
70-74	AB
65-69	B
60-64	BC
55-59	C
50-54	CD
45-49	D
40-44	E
0-39	F

 

The diploma (ND/HND) certificate shall be awarded on the basis of cumulative grade point average as follows:

Distinction	CGPA of 3.50 and Above
Upper Credit	CGPA of 3.00 – 3.49
Lower Credit	CGPA of 2.50 – 2.99
Pass	CGPA of 2.00 – 2.49
Fail	CGPA of below 2.00

 

STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC STANDING AND RESULTS

Examinations are conducted twice in a session i.e. first and second semester. A student academic standing is assessed every semester. The department publishes result every semester. At the end of first semester, students with grade point average (GPA) below 2.00 are cautioned. In the session results, students who earn a GPA below 1.5 are advised to withdraw from the programme; those with GPA of 2.00 are promoted to the next class but to carryover all failed courses which must be registered in the new class/new session.

STUDENTS REGISTRATION

Student must register for courses/programmes of studies at the appropriate and advised time. A student who does not register within the stipulated period will not be allowed to attend any of the scheduled classes, take examinations and assessment or will not be eligible for the award of any certificate. The name that a student uses to register will be the name that appears on any award certificate will be issued (unless a female student who gets married and change her name legally). It is advised that the use of initials as name should be avoided for registration. Students are advised to use their full names as they will want it to appear in their certificate provided this must be in line with the names in their entering certificate.

ATTENDANCE

Students must take their attendance to classes or lectures, practical classes in laboratories and workshops very seriously. It is a mandatory condition/requirement that students must obtain 70% attendance in lectures before they will be allowed to sit for any examination.

Students should be aware that the Polytechnic or Department does not run correspondence programmes. Attendance to lectures is mandatory. Students also must undertake an excursion trip at least once in the course of the programme.

STUDENT CONDUCT, DRESS CODE AND DISCIPLINE

Mechanical Engineering Department student should shun indecent dressing and examination malpractice, misconduct, etc. A high standard of personal integrity is expected of every student of this department. Each student is expected to conduct himself/herself properly in suggesting any change he/she may consider appropriate. The Department regards as serious offences all acts of unethical, immoral, dishonest or destructive behaviour, as well as violations of its regulation. It is the responsibility of each student to know and obey the regulations as stipulated in the Polytechnic Student Handbook, excuse will not be entertained.

SECRET SOCIETY/CULTS AND WEAPONS

It is an offence punishable by law for any student to belong to any unregistered organization classified by the polytechnic as stipulated in decree 74 of 1989 constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Polytechnic enabling law.Students engaged in such activities shall be liable to dismissal from the Polytechnic and also be prosecuted according to the law of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

CERTIFICATE FORGERY

Students are expected to make originals of their credentials available for screening during registration every session or at any other time the Department or the Polytechnic may require them. Any student who gains admission into the polytechnic with forged certificates or credentials does so at his/her own risk. Any student found to have done so at any stage of the programmes stands dismissed from the polytechnic.

LIBRARY FACILITIES

The students of the Department have access to the polytechnic main library and to reasonably use the facilities offered by the polytechnic main library. They are however expected to properly register with the library to enjoy all benefits of the effective readership in the library. There are also collections of professional study packs/books in the Head of Department office which students can access. Apart from books, journals etc, in the main library, there is also an e-library section where students can electronically have access to current international and local books, journals and other form of published materials for the advancement of their knowledge.

AUTOCAD LABORATORY

Apart from our well-equipped workshops and laboratories, the Department has an AutoCAD laboratory well furnished with computers to enhance teaching and practice.
