5.3 Foundation courses include courses in Mathematics. The number of hours for the programme may account for about 10-15% of the total contact hours.

5.4 Professional courses are core courses of the programme which give the student the theory and professional skills he needs to practise his field of calling at the technologist level. These may account for between 60-70% of the contact hours.

6.0 CURRICULUM STRUCTURE The structure of the HND programme consists of four semesters of classroom, laboratory and workshop activities in the college. Each semester shall be of 17 weeks duration made up as follows: 15 contact weeks of teaching, i.e. lecture recitation and practical exercises, etc. and 2 weeks for tests, quizzes, examinations and registration.

7.0 ACCREDITATION The Higher National Diploma programme shall be accredited by the National Board for Technical Education before the diplomates can be awarded the Higher National Diploma certificates. Details about the process of accrediting a programme for the award of the National Diploma are available from the Executive Secretary, National Board for Technical Education, Plot “B”, Bida Road, P.M.B. 2239, Kaduna, Nigeria.

8.0 CONDITIONS FOR AWARD OF HIGHER NATIONAL DIPLOMA The award of Higher National Diploma includes the following: a. Satisfactory performance in all prescribed course work which may include class work, tests, quizzes. b. Workshop practice, laboratory work. c.

Unified Class of Diploma Distinction - CGPA of 3.5 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.

9.0 GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS TEACHING THE PROGRAMME 9.1 The new curriculum is drawn in unit courses. This is in keeping with the provisions of the National Policy on Education which stress the need to introduce the semester credit units which will enable a student who so wish to transfer the units already completed in an institution similar standard from which he/she is transferring.

9.2 In designing the units, the principle of the modular system by product has been adopted, thus making each of the professional modules, when completed provides the student with technician operative skills, which can be used for employment purposes self - and otherwise.

9.3 As the success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of programmes between the institutions and industry, the curriculum content has been written in behavioural objectives, so that it is clear to all the expected performance of the student who successfully completed some of the courses or the diplomates of the programme. This is slight departure in the presentation of the performance based curriculum which requires the conditions under which the performance are expected to be carried out and the criteria for the acceptable levels of performance. It is a deliberate attempt to further involve the staff of the department teaching he programme to write their own curriculum stating the conditions existing in their institution under which performance can take place and to follow that with the criteria for determining an acceptance level of performance. Departmental submission on the final curriculum may be vetted by the Academic Board of the institution. Our aim is to continue to see to it that a solid internal evaluation system exists in each institution for ensuring minimum standard and quality of education in the programmes offered throughout the Polytechnic system.

9.4 The teaching of the theory and practical work should, as much as possible, be integrated. Practical exercises, especially those in professional courses and laboratory work should not be taught in isolation from the theory. For each course, there should be a balance of theory to practical in the ratio of 50:50 or 60:40 or the reverse.

10.0 FINAL YEAR PROJECT Final year students in this programme are expected to carry out a project work. This could be on individual basis or group work. The project should, as much as possible incorporates basic element of design, drawing and complete fabrication of a marketable item or something that can be put to use. Project reports should be well presented and should be properly supervised. The departments should make their own arrangement of schedules for project work.
