Guidelines for textbook writers
The following guidelines are suggestions from the Engineering Committees to the writers of the textbooks for the new curricula. They are intended to supplement the detailed syllabuses which have been produced, and which define the content and level of the courses.
Authors should bear in mind that the curriculum has been designed to give the students a broad understanding of applications in industry and commerce, and this is reflected in the curriculum objectives.
One book should be produced for each syllabus Page size should be A4 The front size should be 12 point for normal text and 14 point where emphasis is needed Line spacing should be set to 1.5 lines Headings and subheadings should be emboldened Photographs, diagrams and charts should be used extensively throughout the book, and these items must be up-to-date In all cases, the material must be related to industry and commerce, using real life examples wherever possible so that the book is not just a theory book. It must help the students to see the subject in the context of the ‘real word’ The philosophy of the courses is one of an integrated approach to theory and practice, and as such, the books should reflect this by not making an artificial divide between theory and practice. Illustrations should be labeled and numbered. Examples should be drawn from Nigeria wherever possible, so that the information is set in a country context. Each chapter should end with student self-assessment questions (SAG) so that students can check their own master of the subject
174 NID in Telecommunications Technology (Draft)
Accurate instructions should be given for any practical work having first conducted the practical to check that the instructions do indeed work The books must have a proper index or table of contents, a list of references and an introduction based on the overall course philosophy and aims of the syllabus. Symbols and units must be listed and a unified approach used throughout the book In case of queries regarding the contents of the books and the depth of information, the author must contact the relevant curriculum committee via the National Board for Technical Education The final draft version of the books should be submitted to Nigerian members of the curriculum working groups for their comments regarding the content in relation to the desired syllabus.
