 Pass - CGPA of 2.00 - 2.49.
9.0 GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS OF 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
5
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. The Academic Board of the institution may vet departmental submission
on the final curriculum. 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, are 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.
