Practical experience in a workshop or industrial production facility, construction site or special centres in the university environment, considered suitable for relevant practical/industrial working experience but not necessarily limited to the student’s major. The students are exposed to hands-on activities on workshop safety and ethics, maintenance of tools, equipment and machines, welding, fabrication and foundry equipment, production of simple devices; electrical circuits, wiring and installation, etc. (8-10 weeks during the long vacation following 200 level). NOTE: Each programme to indicate additional details of programme-specific activities for their students.

In the second semester of the 400-level students, preferably in groups, work from the university on the identified industry or organization to tackle industry complex engineering problems. Theoretical issues may be provided by the department faculty or industry experts. During the vacation, students will now work full time with the organisation/industry on the project as part of the SIWES III. The students can also go beyond the department and engage in multidisciplinary undertakings. Literature survey, review of existing systems etc. must be achieved to a satisfactory extent. GET 404 Engineering Valuation and Appraisal (2 Units: C; LH 30) Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. Identify at least three (3) objectives of engineering valuation work, valuer's primary duty and responsibility and valuation terminologies. 2. Describe at least four (4) Valuer's obligation to his or her client, to other valuers, and to the society. 3. Demonstrate with example the engineering valuation methods, valuation standards, and practices. 4. Prepare engineering valuation and appraisal reports and review 5. Discuss expert witnessing and ethics in valuation. 6. Determine price, cost, value, depreciation and obsolescence in real property, personal property, personal property, machinery and equipment, oil, gas, mines, and quarries valuation.

On- the -job experience in industry chosen for practical working experience but not necessarily limited to the student’s major (24 weeks from the end of the first semester at 400-Level to the beginning of the first semester of the following session. Thus, the second semester at 400-Level is spent in industry). Each student is expected to work in a programme related industry, research institute or regulatory agencies etc, for a period of 6 months under the guidance of an appropriate personnel in the establishment but supervised by an academic staff of the Department. On completion of the training, the student submits the completed Log book on the experience at the establishment., Also, there will be a comprehensive report covering the whole of the student’s industrial training experiences (GET 299, GET 399 and GET 499), on which a seminar will be presented to the Department for overall assessment. PEE 401 Oil and Gas Entrepreneurship and Start-up/Oil and Gas Business Project (2 Units E: LH 30) Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, the students should be able to: 1. discuss the basics of entrepreneurship and how to start one’s business; 2. discover opportunities in the oil and gas industry and also leverage the provisions of the Nigerian Content Act; 3. develop a team project to exploit opportunities in the oil and gas industry to encourage the students to nurse dreams early; and 4. identify the challenges in the oil and gas sector from case histories.
