CHAPTER FOUR

4.0 ACADEMIC PATTERN

4.1 PREAMBLE

This chapter presents the seven developmental phases of the Polytechnic, courses and programmes offered, admission requirements, students’ workload, staff workload, programme evaluation system, conditions to be satisfied for award of Polytechnic diplomas and certificates, students’ industrial work experience scheme (SIWES), final year project, teaching practice, academic standing, retake-resit-incomplete project and absenteeism, change of course as well as transfer cases.

4.2 DEVELOPMENTAL PHASES OF THE POLYTECHNIC

The development of the Polytechnic was divided into six phases based on five years interval as shown below:

4.2.1 Phase One (1979 – 1984)

In the first five years of existence, the Polytechnic had advanced in restructuring such that it was made up of four colleges. Each college was made up of departments which were centers of course instructions. These colleges were:

1. College of Agricultural Sciences & Technology. Department of Agricultural Science & Technology

Department of Food Science and Catering.

2. College of Business & Administrative Studies

Page 37: ACADEMIC BRIEF ON RAMAT POLYTECHNIC ... brief.pdftraining leading to National Diploma (ND), Higher National Diploma (HND), Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE Tech and Bus) and other

Department of Business & Administrative Studies

Department of Mathematics and Statistics 3. College of Engineering:

Department of Building and Civil Engineering

Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Department of Mechanical Engineering Department of Technical Education

4. College of Environmental Studies Department of Environmental Studies

4.2.2 Phase Two (1985 – 1989)

During the second phase of development, the Polytechnic had changed it existing structure from Colleges to Schools namely:-

1. School of Agricultural Sciences & Technology.

Department of Agricultural Sciences & Technology.

Department of Food Sciences & Catering Studies. 2. School of Engineering and Applied Sciences

38  

4. School of Management.

Department of Accounting and Finance Department of Business & Administrative Services Department of Marketing Programmes established during this phase of development were all accredited by the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE) and other relevant bodies. Such programmes had the necessary human and material resource in line with National Standard set up by the supervisory bodies.

4.2.3 Phase Three (1990 – 1998)

In this phase of development the Polytechnic carried out a comprehensive review of the academic programmes. From 1991 to 1998 the Polytechnic witnessed the creation of one more school and some new departments as shown below:

(1) School of Agricultural Sciences & Technology

Department of Agricultural Sciences and Technology

Department of Food Science and Catering Studies.

(2) School of Engineering and Applied Sciences

Department of Building and Civil Engineering

Department of Electrical/Electronic Engineering

Department of Mechanical Engineering

Department of Science Laboratory Technology

(3) School of Environmental Studies.

Page 57: ACADEMIC BRIEF ON RAMAT POLYTECHNIC ... brief.pdftraining leading to National Diploma (ND), Higher National Diploma (HND), Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE Tech and Bus) and other

57  

Definition of terms used in evaluation of students’ performance

Credit Hour (CH)

Each contact hour of lecture or 2 hours of tutorial or 3 hours of workshop/practical/studio work/field work constitute 1 credit hour. For example, a course having 2 hours of lectures per week semester, 2 hours of tutorial and 3 hours of workshop practice/laboratory/field work or studio per semester make a total of 4 Credit Hours though the total contact hours is 7.

Course Unit (CU)

Each of the courses offered in a semester is assigned specific course units depending upon the contact hours of lecture/tutorial/workshop practice/laboratory work per week per semester as the case may be.

For Example:

1 Hour of lecture/week constitute 1 course unit

2. Hours of tutorial/week constitute 1 course unit

3 Hours of workshop practical/week constitute 1 course unit

Grade, letter grade and grade point

A range of scores for a course made up of continuous assessment and semester examination scores is given a letter grade and point, as illustrated below for all programmes except Pre-ND, Pre-NCE and NCE

Cumulative grade point average (C.G.P.A)

It is the mean of two or more ‘Grade Point Average’ to be computed at the end of 2nd, 3rd and 4th semesters respectively.

Example:

First Semester GPA = 2.31

Second Semester GPA = 2.83

Third Semester GPA = 3.01

Fourth Semester GPA = 2.96

END OF 2ND SEMESTER CGPA

First Semester GPA = 2.31

Second semester GPA = 2.83

CGPA = (2.31 + 2.83)/2

= 2.57

End of Third Semester GPA = (2.57 + 3.01)/2

= 2.79

End of Fourth Semester GPA = (2.79 + 2.96)/2

= 2.88

Note: For students who have no reference(s) in any of the four semesters the end of 4th Semester CGPA becomes the graduating grade.

CHAPTER FIVE

5.0 RESEARCH POLICY OF THE POLYTECHNIC

5.1 PREAMBLE

Research and Development comprise creative work undertaken on a systematic basis in order to increase the stock of knowledge including knowledge of man, culture and society and the use of this stock of knowledge to devise new applications. All these aspects of research are undertaken by the Polytechnic.

The Polytechnic is distinguished from other institutions of higher education by the dynamic involvement in research as well as the active pursuit of research by its staff and students. Polytechnics are often ranked internationally on the basis of their research output. This is more pronounced in specialized Polytechnics that focus on sciences, technology and social sciences. Individual scholars are free and encouraged to select and conduct research on the subject matter of their interest, to seek financial support from any approved source in order to publish their research findings.

The Polytechnic affirms that research procedures must not violate established ethical principles to the health, safety, privacy and other personal rights of human beings or inflict injury or pain on animals. The Ethical Committee ensures strict compliance to established professional ethics.

However, this chapter discussed Research Policy, Research Administration, Research Funding and Research Development in the Ramat Polytechnic Maiduguri.

Page 76: ACADEMIC BRIEF ON RAMAT POLYTECHNIC ... brief.pdftraining leading to National Diploma (ND), Higher National Diploma (HND), Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE Tech and Bus) and other

76  

Research Policy

The Polytechnic engages itself in basic and applied research in all its academic departments. All staff are encouraged to carry out research in their areas of expertise. There are individual research, group research and multi-disciplinary research that are generating services and products to the Polytechnic. The Polytechnic focuses on the problems related to sciences, technology, social sciences and other related fields which are prevalent in human society and seek solutions through collaborative research.

Research Administration

The Academic Planning Directorate is responsible for coordinating the research efforts of the Polytechnic. All research proposals are channelled through the Directorate for onward submission to the Polytechnic Committee on Research and Publications. The Directorate monitors the progress of research and publications in the polytechnic and receives research reports.

Research Funding

Researches are funded in the Polytechnic through its internally generated revenue and not less than 3% of the total recurrent expenditure of the Polytechnic is allocated to organized research while 5% to general research annually in addition to TETFUND and external donors/interventions.

Page 77: ACADEMIC BRIEF ON RAMAT POLYTECHNIC ... brief.pdftraining leading to National Diploma (ND), Higher National Diploma (HND), Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE Tech and Bus) and other

77  

Research Development

In this Polytechnic, mentoring of the junior academic staff in the art of research and research publications is done by their senior colleagues. Exchange programmes are also arranged whereby staff members visit reputable institutions and make use of their facilities such as libraries, laboratories and workshop. The polytechnic staff also attend conferences and seminars within and outside the country.
