2.2 OVERVIEW OF THE FACULTY OF ENGINEERING

The University of Abuja was established in January, 1988 and academic work started in 1990.
Its establishment was aimed at forging national unity by providing a conducive environment for
learning and interaction for youths from all parts of Nigeria.
The Senate of the University at its 92nd Regular Meeting held on 27th October, 2004 approved the
establishment of the Faculty of Engineering with effect from 2005/2006 session. The Academic
activities commenced with initial intake of nine (9) and eight (8) undergraduate (100 level)
students into the Departments of Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering respectively. The
pioneer Dean, Engr. Prof. F. Akinbode FNSE was appointed in 2005 but assumed duty in 2006. In
the interim, Engr. Ibrahim D. Muhammad coordinated the faculty. For the 2005/2006 session, Engr.
Dr. T.C. Ogwueleka and Engr. Dr. I. M. Dagwa were appointed as the pioneer Heads of
Departments of Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering respectively with effect from 1 st
June 2007 under the pioneer Dean. In the 2006/2007 session, the faculty took-off with nine
academic staff (1No. Professor, 3 Nos. Senior lecturers, 2 Nos. Lecturer I, 1 No. Lecturer II and 2
Nos. Graduate Assistants) and 2 Nos. Technical staff. In 2008 more staff were recruited into the
faculty. Subsequently, Dr. Duncan F. Aloko and Engr. J. S. Adedibu were appointed as pioneer
Heads of Departments of Chemical Engineering and Electrical & Electronic Engineering
respectively.
A crisis in the new Faculties of the University led to the ‘farming out’ of its undergraduate students
to other Universities to complete their studies. However, it recommenced in the 2015 with the
encouragement of the then new Vice Chancellor, Prof. M. U. Adikwu with the admission of 160
students at the 100 level.
The undergraduate programme recommenced in the 2015/2016 academic session with the
encouragement of the then new Vice Chancellor, Prof. M. U. Adikwu with the admission of 160
students at the 100 level.
The Postgraduate programme started in the 2016/2017 academic session with admissions to the
four Departments of the Faculty. The programmes were earlier approved by the University Senate.

The Faculty has a number of collaborations in form Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) with a
number of organizations through the University. Some of which are with National Agency for
Science and Engineering Infrastructures, Nigerian Atomic Energy Commission (NAEC) and the
University of Johannesburg, Republic South Africa. It also hosts the secretariat of the Nigerian

5.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
5.1 CONDITIONS FOR PROGRESSION

The case of screening and weeding is not limited to new students only. The following criteria were
approved for the continuing students:
(a) Students crossing from 100L to 200L must have passed 6 out of 8 credit load for each of
Mathematics and Physics and 6 out of 9 credit load of Chemistry.
(b) Must have a CGPA of not less than 2.00.
(c) Must clear all carry over courses before going to 400 level
(d) A student is not allowed to carry over 16 credit unit or eight courses per session otherwise;
such student would be advised to repeat the session.
5.2 PROBATION
A student whose Cumulative Grade Point Average is below (after initially fulfilling the
progression requirement) 1.50 at the end of a particular year of study, earns a period of
probation for one academic session. A student on probation is allowed to register for courses
at the next higher level in addition to his/her probation level courses provided that: The
maximum of 18 credit units per semester is not exceeded:
(a) the regulation in respect of student work-load is complied with; and
(b) the pre-requisite courses for the higher-level courses have been passed.
5.3 WITHDRAWAL
A candidate whose Cumulative Grade Point Average is below 1.50 at the end of a
particular year of probation should be required to withdraw from the University.
However, in order to minimize waste of human resources, consideration should be given
to withdrawal from Programmed of study and possible transfer to other Programmed within
the same University.
Additionally, any student who fails to register and sit for examinations in any of the sessions
without any approval shall be deemed to have withdrawn himself/herself voluntarily at the
end of the session.
5.4 COURSE CREDIT SYSTEM

All courses a r e sub-divided into more or less self-sufficient and logically consistent
packages that are taught within a semester and examined at the end of that particular
semester. Credit weights should be attached to each course. One credit is equivalent to
one hour per week per semester of 15 weeks of lectures or 2 hours of tutorials or 3
hours per week of laboratory/studio work per semester of 15 weeks.

5.5 GRADE POINT AVERAGE AND CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT
AVERAGE
Grading of courses shall be done by a combination of percentage marks and letter grades
translated into a graduated system of Grade Point Equivalents (GPE). For the purpose of
determining a student’s standing at the end of every semester, the Grade Point Average
(GPA) system shall be used. The GPA is computed by dividing the total number of
credit points (TCP) by the total number of units (TNU) for all the courses taken in the
semester. The credit point for a course is computed by multiplying the number of units
for the course by the Grade Point Equivalent of the marks scored in the course. Each
course shall be graded out of maximum of 100 marks and assigned appropriate Grade
Point Equivalent as in Table below.

5.5.1 CALCULATION OF GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)

The calculation of Grade point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade point Average (CGPA) in
processing student’s results is a simple task. However, certain basic explanation/definition of terms
is required for easy understanding. Students are encouraged to understand this method so as to be
able to keep track of their results from admission to graduation.

5.5.2 TOTAL NUMBER OF UNITS (TNU)
Every course has a weight of number of units attached to it. The number of units attached to any
course is composed of the hours of lectures, tutorials, and/or practical expected to be delivered per
week on the course.
The total number of units (TNU) is simply the arithmetic addition of the unit weights of all the
courses under consideration.
5.5.3 TOTAL GRADE POINT (TGP)

The raw score obtained by each student in any course is converted to grades and subsequently to
Grade point (GP) as follows:
%Score Grade Grade Point
70 – 100 A 5
60 – 69 B 4
50 – 59 C 3
45 – 49 D 2
40 – 45 E 1
0 – 40 F 0
The Total Grade Point (TGP) for each student is obtained by multiplying the Grade Point earned
by the Student in that course by the units assigned to that course, and summing over all the courses
registered by the student in that semester.
5.5.4 GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)

Performance in any semester is reported in Grade Point Average. This is the average of weighted
grade points earned in the courses taken during the semester. The Grade Point Average is
obtained by multiplying the Grade Point average in each course by the number of Credit
Units assigned to that course, and then summing these up and dividing by the total number of
Credit Units taken for the semester. The Grade Point Average (GPA) is simply equal to the quotient
of TGP and TNU,
i.e.
5.5.5 CUMULATIVE GRADE POINT AVERAGE (CGPA)

This is the up-to-date mean of the Grade Points earned by the student in a Programme of study
other than the first semester in the Programme. It is an indication of the student’s overall
performance at any point in the training Programme. To compute the Cumulative Grade Point
Average, the total of Grade Points multiplied by the respective Credit Units for all the
semesters are added and then divided by the total number of Credit Units for all courses

registered by the student.
Cumulative TNU = Current TNU + Previous TNU
Cumulative TGP = Current TGP + Previous GTP
Cumulative GPA (CGPA = Cumulative TGP/Cumulative T.N.U.
The cumulative results will serve as the “Previous” result during the following semesters result
computations.
A minimum CGPA of 1.50 is required for graduation. In order to obtain an overall pass in the
examination in any year of study, a student is required to maintain a CGPA of at least 1.50 to be in
“good academic standing”, student whose CGPA falls below 1.50 at the end of year of study shall
be placed on probation. A student who remains on probation for two semesters and who fails to
attain the status of “good academic standing” at the end of consecutive that year of study shall be
withdrawn from the programme of study.
5.6 EVALUATION
(a) Practical
By the nature of the Engineering discipline, laboratory practical are very important in
the training of the graduates. To reflect this importance of practical work, a minimum
of 9 hours per week (3 credits) should be spent on students’ laboratory practical.
Furthermore, it is very important to determine performance of the student in the
practical component of the Programme. To achieve this, all the laboratory practical
have been lumped together to form a course which the student must pass. It is expected
that the weighting given in the various courses is reflected in number and nature in the
design of the experiments. These practical must follow the trend in the current
development of the Programmes.
(b) Tutorials
There should be one hour of tutorial for every four hours of lecture. Thus a course of
one credit unit should comprise 12 hours of lecture and 3hours of tutorials.
(c) Continuous Assessments
Continuous assessment shall be done through a s s i g n m e n t , tests, and
practical exercises.
(i) Scores from continuous assessment shall normally constitute 30 per cent of the
final marks for courses which are primarily theoretical.
(ii) For courses which are partly practical and partly theoretical, scores from
continuous assessment shall constitute 50% of the final marks.
(iii) For courses that are entirely practical, continuous assessment shall be based
on a student’s practical work or reports and shall constitute 100 percent of
the final marks.
(d) Examinations
In addition to continuous assessment, final examinations should normally be given for

every course at the end of each semester. The final grade should be based on the
following breakdown, subject to section 1.5.1 (c) of this document:
Final Examination: 60%-70%
Continuous assessment (Quizzes, Tutorials, Homework, Tests): 30%- 40%
(i) Each course shall normally be completed and examined at the end of the
semester in which it is offered.
(ii) A written examination shall normally last a minimum of one hour for one unit
course.
A student who registered for a course but fail to take the examination without approval is deemed
to have failed the course.
(e) External Examiners’ System
This system is used only in the final year of the undergraduate Programme to assess final
year courses and projects, and to certify the overall performance of the graduating
students, as well as the quality of facilities and teaching. Only senior lecturers and above
are qualified to serve as external examiners
(f) SIWES Rating and Assessment
In engineering education, industrial attachment is very crucial, hence, it forms part of the
requirement for graduation. The minimum duration of this attachment should be 34 weeks
(one semester and 2 long vacations) and should be broken into the following modules:
Students Work Experience Programme (10 weeks – long vacation); Students Industrial
Work Experience Scheme (24 weeks, one semester plus long vacation).
To make the training effective, it is important that the students learn how to operate some of
the ordinary machines and tools they will encounter in the industry before they go for the
attachment. Therefore, they should start with Student Work Experience Programme
(SWEP), which is conducted in the Faculty Workshops, under strict industrial conditions.
Thereafter, the Students Industrial Work Experience Schemes can be done in industries under
strict industrial conditions and supervision.
At the end of the schemes, students are required to submit detailed reports on their
experience, which is one of the major requirements for the award of the Bachelor degree in
Engineering. There is a Faculty SIWES/SWEP Coordinator and each Department has a
Departmental SIWES/SWEP Coordinator.
5.7 EXAMINATIONS
Examinations are normally held at the end of each semester. Examinations may take the form of
written papers, oral examinations, practical, the submission of projects, any combinations of these,
or any other form approved by the senate. The continuous assessment of course work is normally
included in determining examination results.

5.7.1 ELIGIBILITY
In order to be admitted to write any examination, a student must have registered the course to be
examined and must have fulfilled all university requirements concerning residency, fees and others
that may be specified from time to time. He/she must also fulfill all departmental requirements
regarding satisfactory completion of any course-work, practical, assignments, projects or other
matters.
A student with a genuine medical case may apply for To-Take (ToT) for examination(s) in course(s) missed
if the University Medical Centre authenticates the student’s claim. However, when approval is granted the
Student will be allowed to write the examination during the next available opportunity. Furthermore, any
student having ill-health challenge is advised to seek for medical attention in any government approved
hospital or clinic. Thereafter, such case(s) must be reported to the Head of Department in writing at least
24 hours before the scheduled examination.

not last beyond the stipulated date.
(l) Application for deferment must be made through the Department to the Senate, in time, for such
request to be consideration by appropriates bodies.
(m) A student is regarded as registered only when the necessary registration forms have been
submitted to the Departmental Registration Officer. Students are therefore advised to strictly
adhere to the registration guidelines.

5.9 DEFERMENT OF SEMESTER/SESSION
A student who for a good reason wishes to defer a semester or a whole session have to make a
formal application through the Department and Faculty to the Senate for consideration and
approval.
5.10 ACADEMIC/CLASS/LEVEL/ PROGRAMME ADVISER

Each Class of students shall have a Class or Level Adviser, which is assigned by the Head of
Department. The role of the Adviser is to counsel and guide the students in their Course registration
and also advise the students generally on all academic-related matters. Programme Advisers are
appointed when a department runs more than a programme.
List of Academic Advisors

6.0 OTHER GENERAL MATTERS
6.1. MEDICAL CASES

The following procedures should be followed under the appropriate situation.
1. While on campus: A student who falls ill while on campus should seek for immediate medical
attention as the University Medical Centre. When the medical condition of a student necessitates
absence from academic activities, the HOD should accordingly be informed in writing, and upon
resumption, appropriate medical report must be presented.
2. Before/During Examination or Tests: A student who falls ill just before or during
examination/tests should immediately seek medical attention at the Medical Centre or any
Government Approval Hospital and obtain appropriate medical report and forward same to the
HOD as soon as possible.
3. Outside the University Campus: For instance, while at home or holidays, if as a result of ill-
health, a student is likely to be late for registration, the Department should be informed early
enough, and, upon resumption, supporting evidence(s) (e.g., medical report which will be
authenticated by the University Medical Centre) must be presented.
6.2 USE OF LABORATORY EQUIPMENT, INSTRUMENTS AND

MATERIALS
The Faculty and Department workshops and laboratories are available for use by students during
practical sessions and projects construction/analytical works under close supervision of
appropriate technical staff. The workshop and laboratories are equipped basically to enable
students perform experiments and execute their projects with less constraints.
6.3 PROJECT/JOBS
Students should submit drawing(s) of project job(s) to the Technologist in charge including the
following particulars as necessary:
(i) General arrangement or assembly drawing fully dimensioned,
(ii) Detail drawing(s) and instructions and
(iii) Materials specifications and other relevant information that may assist in prompt execution.
(a) Students who have been assigned approved research projects must first report to the
Chief Technical Officer or the Technologist in charge of Workshop/Laboratory for appropriate
instructions and space allocations.
(b) A student is not allowed to work on equipment or operate any instrument without
permission.

(c) A student may be surcharged for instruments, tools and equipment damaged in the
course of working in the workshop or Laboratories.
(d) Students are encouraged to acquaint themselves with Standard Operational Procedure
(SOP) and Safety Precautions for each equipment before usage.
6.4 ISSUANCE OF TOOLS, INSTRUMENTS AND OTHER ITEMS IN

THE LABORATORY/WORKSHOP
Tools, instruments, equipment and chemicals are normally kept in the stores. However, some
common tools and equipment are available in the workshops and laboratories. Each of the tools,
instruments, apparatuses and equipment from the stores is obtained through the loan book system.
All items borrowed must be signed for and must be returned in good condition to the store. Students
are strongly advised to be safety conscious while working in the Laboratories and workshops.
6.5 PROJECTS SUPERVISION
6.5.1 REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS’ SUPERVISION

The requirement for supervision of students shall be as follows:
(a) A Supervisor, among the academic staff must be appointed to supervise the Project Reports of
students
(b) A supervisor shall guide a student in his studies and keep a record of the candidate’s progress
(c) Each Supervisor shall be required to supervise not more than ten students
6.5.2 POLICY ON SUPERVISION OF STUDENTS’ PROJECT

REPORTS
The purpose of a Project Report is normally to enable students to undertake some independent
research on an agreed topic. Typically, an academic member of staff will be assigned to each
student undertaking a Project Report to agree on the topic with the student and to supervise the
student while they are working on their Project Report. This policy outlines the role of the Project
Report supervisor, and defines the rights and responsibilities of both the supervisor and the student.
6.5.3 ROLE OF THE SUPERVISOR

The role of the supervisor is to assist the student by providing advice and guidance on how to
prepare, produce and improve their Project Report It may include giving advice on choosing a
suitable topic, drawing up a suitable preliminary bibliography, planning the primary and secondary
research the student will need to do for the project report, using suitable research methods,
including obtaining and necessary research ethnics approval, methods of improving the
presentation of the dissertating; sources of information, advice and guidance in undertaking the

project report and other general academic advice. The supervisor should be available to advice the
student on approach, coverage, questions to be asked and the outline structure and research design.
More specially, the supervisor is expected to:

- Assist the student in the definition and organization of the Project Report in the early stages of
preparation.
- Advise the student on the feasibility of what he/she plans to do.
- Approve the Project Report proposal.
6.5.4 STUDENT RESPONSIBILITIES

- It is the responsibility of the student to initiate contact with their Project Report supervisor once
the supervisor has been allocated.
- Students should contact their supervisors within 10 working days of the supervisors nominated,
to agree a date for an initial meeting or other working methods.
- The student and supervisor should agree on a timetable at the outset for completion, which should
normally include provision for at least two meeting in advance of submission.
- Students are responsible for providing their supervisor with draft of work to be discussed, as
agreed with the supervisor and not later than five working days before any meeting.
- Students are responsible for ensuring that approval from any appreciates body is obtained in
relation to research ethics.

6.7 PLAGIARISM
Originality and honesty are key components of academic activities in teaching and research. When
information source that contributed to research work is not fully acknowledged or properly cited,
it leads to misrepresentation of researcher’s ability and idea.
Plagiarism is using the words or ideas of others and presenting them as your own. Such activity
represents a form of fraud. It can take many forms, from deliberately seeking academic advantage
by replicating the work of others, to accidentally copying from a source without acknowledgement.
Plagiarism does not only apply with text-based work. For example, it is also plagiarism to use
someone else's artwork in a design without acknowledgement and, where applicable, seeking
permission.
Plagiarism is also defined by the university as “the submission for assessment of material (written,
visual or oral) without correct acknowledgement, in such a way that the work could be assumed to
be the student’s own, or could be assumed to have been originally produced by the student for the
purposes of assessment in question, where this not the case. “Plagiarism includes the unattributed
use of another person’s work, ideas, opinions theory, statistics, graphs, models, paintings, artifacts,
performance, computer code, drawings, quotations of another person’s actual spoken or written
words, or paraphrases of another person’s spoken or written words. It may also include the
submission of unattributed work previously produced by the student towards some other
assessment, or published in some other forum.
- Plagiarism can occur in any piece of work. This policy applies for any alleged case of plagiarism
in any piece of work submitted or formal assessment at the department.
- A student who knowingly assists another student to plagiarize (for example by willing giving
them their own work to copy from) is committing an assessment offence.
- It is accepted that not all cases of plagiarism are committed intentionally, and that it is not
appropriate to invoke the formal processes within this policy for all cases where work submitted
for assessment meets the university definition plagiarism.
6.7.1 THE UNIVERSITY OF ABUJA NEW POLICY ON

PLAGIARISM
The University has mandated all Project Reports be checked for plagiarism; the software access is
available in the University Library
The checking will be conducted as follows:
- All Post Graduate Dissertation and Thesis should be directed to the Plagiarism Check
Administrator for check. Students should come with the softcopies of their research work, the
email of supervisors, Head of Department and PG Coordinators as all certificates will be forwarded
to them from the Administrator.
- Instructor of Faculties/Department that were given access during the training can check the
undergraduate project

- Faculty/Department without Instructors/faculty Plagiarism Check representative should contact
the Administrator at Digital Library
- Instructors should attach the certificate of check to the Project before submission.
(a) Scope

of research output.
- The Flash Drive (or such device) containing the soft copy of the thesis/dissertation/project has to
be in PDF or Word file (or as directed from time to time) submitted to the Administrator for
plagiarism check prior to external examination for the Post graduate Students.
- Thesis/dissertation/projects covering all the chapters, from introduction to
bibliography/references shall be in a single file, excluding preliminary pages.
- In case of the percentage of similar content is beyond the permitted limit or any plagiarized
content is detected, the researchers have to take appropriate measures under the guide of their
supervisors so as to ensure originality of research output.
- The researchers are informed to acknowledge accurately the right authors and sources providing
the text within quotes. Uniformity and consistency be maintained in rendering bibliographic
references. An accepted standard format has to be followed for rendering references.
- All instructors can conduct Plagiarism check for their students and forward the result to the
supervisors who will advise them to make necessary adjustment before forwarding for necessary
action.
- All the Post Graduate students should submit soft copies of research work along with the email
of their supervisors to the ProQuest/Plagiarism Check Unit for Plagiarism Checking and the result
shall be sent to the Post Graduate School and supervisors for further verification by the
representative of the PG School before proceeding for external defence.
- All undergraduate students’ work shall be checked for plagiarism by instructors at the
Departmental and faculty level and are required to meet a similarity index of not more than 35%
before they are allowed to graduate.
- All lecturers are to make it compulsory for their students to attach a plagiarism result to their
projects before they can proceed to bind.
- 25% similarity index is the standard for postgraduate students in Medical, Veterinary Medicine,

IEEE Citation Style Guide

Any citation style is set up to give the reader immediate information about sources cited in the text. In IEEE citations,
the references should be numbered and appear in the order they appear in the text. When referring to a reference in
the text of the document, put the number of the reference in square brackets.
E.g.: [1]
The IEEE citation style has 3 main features:
• The author’s name is first name (or initial) and last. This differs from MLA style where author’s last name is
firs.
• The title of an article (or chapter, conference paper, patent etc.) is in quotation marks.
• Title of the journal or book is in italics.
These conventions allow the reader to distinguish between types of reference at a glance. The correct placement of
periods, commas, and colons and of date and page numbers depends on the type of reference cited. Check the examples
below follow the details exactly. E.g., put periods after author and book title, cite page numbers as pp., abbreviate all
months to the first three letters (e.g., Jun)
Check the distinctions between print and electronic sources (especially for journals) carefully.
