EEE 593/594: Final Year Project (6 Units C: LH 270) Learning Outcomes The student(s) will develop a technology and/or system to solve a known and significant electronic engineering problem and design, and if possible/practicable, build/produce/ manufacture some relevant new hardware/device(s) representing the solution using the skills acquired in the programme. Course Contents Individual student or group of students’ projects undertaken to deepen knowledge, strengthen practical experience and encourage creativity, entrepreneurship and independent/team work (as may be the case). The project ends in a comprehensive written report of a developed system, and/or product/service and oral presentation/defense before a panel of assessors one of whom must be external to the University awarding the electronic engineering degree.

However, there should be a minimum of six full-time equivalents of Staff in the department. There is need to have a reasonable number of Staff with doctoral degrees as well as sufficient industrial experience. With a minimum load of 15 Units per semester for students and a minimum of six full-time equivalent of staff in each programme, staff should have a maximum of 15 contact hours per week for lectures, tutorials, practical’s and supervision of projects. NUC requirement encourages all academic staff to have PhD degrees; hence appointment of academic staff is preferably to the Lecturer cadre.

It is important to recruit very competent senior staff that are computer literate. Technical Support Personnel The services of technical support staff, which are indispensable in the proper running of laboratories and workshop/studios are required. It is important to recruit very competent senior technical staff to maintain teaching and research equipment. They are also to undergo regular training to keep them abreast of developments in equipment operation and maintenance. The minimum of academic staff to technical staff ratio of 5:1 should be maintained. Minimum Number of Staff Subject to the general standards specified by NUC: 1. there should be a minimum of two PhDs and four M.Eng degree holders full-time academic staff to mount the programme; 2. each workshop or laboratory should have an adequate number of staff with the right mix, such that each unit or section in that workshop or laboratory can run efficiently; and 3. there should be an adequate number of administrative staff of the appropriate caliber for the office of the Head of Department to run. Student/Staff Ratio The minimum staff-to-student ratio should be 1:15 from 200 level to 500 level.
