Foreword

The Department of Mechanical Engineering of Baze University, Abuja was established in 2015 under the Faculty of Engineering after an approval by the National Universities Commission for the take-off of the program. At Baze University, the Department of Mechanical Engineering is eager to educate students to become outstanding engineers who possess all of the skills necessary to excel in a developing and advanced society.

Mechanical Engineering has been used since ancient times, and is now important across society, including in economy, politics and technology. Mechanical Engineering finds its application in the archives of various ancient and medieval societies throughout mankind. Important breakthroughs in the foundations of Mechanical Engineering occurred in England during the 17th century when Sir Isaac Newton formulated the three Newton's Laws of Motion and developed Calculus, the mathematical basis of physics. Newton was reluctant to publish his methods and laws for years, but he was finally persuaded to do so by his colleagues, much to the benefit of all mankind.

The department of Mechanical Engineering’s core mission is to address the most pressing needs of human society, with a particular emphasis on the fields of energy generation and distribution, transportation, manufacturing and health care delivery. It offers you a broad based degree with a sound foundation in engineering science focusing on quantitative, problem-solving, mechanical design and the opportunity to develop communication skills. Our degree programs give students the broad skill set they need to pursue their goals – whether that’s working as an engineer or becoming an entrepreneur.

In order to ensure that graduates of the department meet up the fast evolving and dynamic trend in technological use, students are allowed to focus on some options of mechanical engineering. These options are mechatronics, industrial and production as well as material and metallurgical engineering. Mechatronics options deals with the use of electronic gadgets in enhancing performance of mechanical systems most especially in control and automation. It is important to know that no system exist in 21st century that is purely mechanically or electrically controlled.

Industrial and Production engineers on the other hand specialises on technics used in producing products. They optimise production line to minimize cost, reduce accidents and maximize profit. No product can move from design stage to finish without significant input from production engineer hence, there is no firm ranging from health care to military that does not need a production engineer.

However, with the proven reserve of mineral resources in Nigeria and sub-Sahara Africa, Material and Metallurgical Engineers are needed to process these raw materials to and material with engineering properties. Composites and nano-materials are the leading raw materials used in most industries now. Their formulation, characterization and recommendation for use are provided by material and metallurgical engineers hence, nothing can be produced without an appropriate material.

Therefore, for the well-trained and conscientious mechanical engineer, interesting and challenging job opportunities abound in Nigeria and abroad irrespective of their specialization. This ranges from the design, development, production, operation, and maintenance of plant, machinery, and equipment to the management of technical

4

systems of man and machines. Mechanical Engineers are urgently needed in such industrial sectors as chemical, petrochemical and pharmaceutical industries; food processing & beverages; paper, pulp, and wood processing; textile industries, power generation, mining and metallurgy, public utilities, construction industries, hospitals and biomedical engineering; sanitary and sewage, defence and security, industrial standardization and water resources, & more.

At Baze, the Bachelor of Engineering (B.Eng.) programme is designed to produce a total graduate empowered with the right standards to practice Mechanical Engineering in the field and beyond for those who will fit properly into the African Industrial and Manufacturing Sectors. The programme consists of lectures, laboratory practical, projects as well as practical training in industry. We have also put in place a mentorship programmes in the department so that every student is properly guided and tutored to ensure that (s)he performs optimally. The members of staff of the Mechanical Engineering department are always ready and willing to assist students with their academic concerns, working hard together will achieve success.

Students are advised to study the Students Handbook in order to acquaint themselves with what is expected of them and the provisions that have been put in place to assist them perform well. I therefore wish to welcome you to the Department of Mechanical Engineering and to wish you a successful academic career.

1.0 Introduction

This handbook describes the honours undergraduate programme in Mechanical Engineering at Baze University. The programme is guided by BMAS Engineering and Technology 2007 for the accreditation of Mechanical Engineering programmes in Nigeria by the National Universities Commission (NUC) and is regulated by the Council for Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN).

2.0 Student’s Policies, Procedures and Regulations Handbook

The programme handbook should be read in conjunction with the Policies, Procedures and Regulations Handbook issued to students entering the Baze University.

3.0 Philosophy, Vision, Mission, Aims and Objectives of the Degree Programme

The programme is to provide sound knowledge in all aspects of Mechanical Engineering (as well as provide) advanced knowledge that would (facilitate) specialization in at least five (5) fields of Mechanical Engineering: Mechatronics, Thermo-Fluids, Machine Design, Industrial and Production as well as Material and Metallurgy. Largely due to the importance of information technology especially in the areas of drawing, data management and simulation, the curriculum has recently been totally reviewed and the contents of the programme has been raised to standard. The general philosophy, therefore, is to prepare our graduates to pursue life-long learning, serve the profession and meet intellectual, ethical and career challenges. Maintain a vital, state-of-the-art research enterprise to provide its students and faculty with opportunities to create, interpret, apply and disseminate knowledge. Contribute on a continuous basis towards the growing technological needs of the community. The Department will be a citadel of learning of new technology, strives to graduate mechanical engineers of the highest quality and to conduct state-to-the-art research.

VISION of the Department:

The Department of Mechanical Engineering will strive to be a CENTRE OF

EXCELLENCE for teaching and training high calibre, practically oriented, self-

employing enterprising graduates for public and private industries and organizations,

and for research and development works of international standard in order to be self-

reliant.

MISSION of the Department: The Department of Mechanical Engineering’s

core mission is to address the most pressing needs of human society, with

particular emphasis on the fields of energy generation and distribution,

transportation, manufacturing and health care delivery. It offers a broad-based

degree with a sound foundation in engineering science focusing on quantitative,

problem-solving, mechanical design and the opportunity to develop

communication skills. The degree programme provide students with broad skills

they need to pursue their goals – whether working as an engineer or becoming an

entrepreneur.

At Baze, our B. Eng. programme is designed to meet the needs of the manufacturing, production, metallurgical, automotive, energy, oil and gas industry among many. The programme consists of lectures, laboratory, projects and practical training in industry. The programme is organized into five levels, 100 through 500. Years one and two offer a broad education in the theoretical principles and conceptual fundamentals that underpin the engineering profession. An opportunity to develop specialized knowledge on Manufacturing Technology, Fluid Mechanics, Mechanical Engineering

6

Design, and Advanced CAD/CAM is available in the third and fourth years of the programme. The department possesses fully equipped computer and technical laboratories in order to enhance students learning experience, meet the needs of industry, and thus prepare students for a rewarding career in Mechanical Engineering. Therefore, the general aims and objectives of engineering training at Baze University should be in consonance with the realization of national needs and aspirations vis-à-vis industrial development and technological emancipation. A degree programme in Mechanical Engineering should therefore aim to:

Stimulate in the students sustained interest and enthusiasm in Mechanical engineering and applications.

Develop a culture in students of continuous enquiry. Provide students with a broad and balanced base of mechanical knowledge

and practical skills. Develop in students a range of skills applied in manufacturing, mechanical

and material areas that can provide confidence for employment. Provide students with a solid base of mechanical, production and

manufacturing knowledge and skills that are required for postgraduate studies and research.

Therefore, on successful completion, students would have specialized in the following areas, namely; Design Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering, Thermo-fluids engineering, and Production Engineering. A module (British) is equivalent to a course (Nigeria). Students take between 5 to 8 modules/courses per semester, ensuring they satisfy BMAS Engineering and Technology 2007 (at least 15 units) and British Universities’ requirements (60 credits).

4.0 Entry Requirement

UTME entry into Level 100 requires 5 credit passes in no more than two sittings in SSCE (or equivalent) including English, Mathematics and Physics. Direct entry into Level 200 requires two A Level passes including Mathematics or credit passes at NCE or OND plus 5 credit passes at SSCE (including English language, Mathematics and Physics).

5.0 Career Opportunities

Mechanical Engineering is a diverse field in engineering - in fact, it's the broadest of any of the engineering disciplines. Students in Mechanical Engineering study topics ranging from numerical methods to fluid dynamics to heat transfer to automatic control systems and beyond. Mechanical engineering graduates find jobs in an equally diverse market; some work closely with Industrial Systems Engineers in manufacturing while others may be in product design for an automaker or even a toy company. Going through another level within each of those broad job classification headings, Mechanical Engineers find themselves as managers, researchers, applied mathematicians, and, of course, performing pure bred Mechanical Engineering duties. Mechanical Engineering graduates entering industry would most likely assume entry-level engineering positions in areas such as conceptual product/systems design, product research, and development or technical sales/customer service. Many Mechanical Engineering graduates also directly enter graduate studies in engineering

7

or other professional degree programs to expand their knowledge and career directions. Mechanical engineering is versatile, it cuts across many disciplines and as a result of this graduates can work in various sectors ranging from manufacturing, production, to oil and gas, metallurgy, etc.

6.0 Programme Structure and Duration

The department of Mechanical Engineering offers a 5 year degree programme for UTME candidates, and a 4 year degree programme for Direct-Entry candidates. At the 400 level, each eligible student is expected to go for a 6 month Students Industrial attachment, after completion of the first semester courses. At the end of the industrial attachment, the student is required to submit a written report on what (s)he has learnt in the industry over the six month period, (s)het is also required to present and defend the report. At 500 level, students undertake their undergraduate project (dissertation) in any field of interest in Mechanical Engineering besides the usual prescribed courses.

6.1 Programme Duration A student in the Mechanical Engineering Department shall normally complete the programme in ten (10) semesters. However, students with carryover may be allowed to continue for a total of twelve (12) semesters and still qualify for a degree provided (s)he maintains a CGPA of 1.00 and above. Any student who is unable to complete the programme in twelve (12) semesters may be allowed to continue for an additional two (2) semesters.

6.2 Semester Duration A minimum of twelve (12) weeks shall normally be reserved for teaching, excluding public holidays and semester breaks. One (1) to three (3) weeks are reserved for examinations after the teaching period.

7.0 Requirements for Graduation

For a candidate to be eligible for graduation and the award of a degree of Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, the candidate must have successfully completed all the prescribed courses as contained in this programme curriculum, and must attain the following:

i. A pass grade in Supervised Industrial attachment; ii. A minimum CGPA of 1.0; iii. A minimum of 150 credit units iv. A pass grade in all prescribed core courses of the programme; v. A student may take some elective courses to meet the graduation requirement.

7.1 Registration of Courses Core Courses: Every student is expected to register all departmental core courses as well as GST (General studies) courses as prescribed by the University. Elective Courses: In addition to the core courses, a student is expected to register elective courses in order to meet the minimum number of units required for graduation. The elective courses are courses which the student chooses according to his/her interest and on

8

the advice or guidance of his/her course adviser. It is advisable that the student passes the elective courses registered as these will form part of the results computation. Pre-requisites: A pre-requisite course is one which must be taken and passed before the student can register for a more advanced course.

7.2 Work load In any given semester, a student shall be allowed to register a minimum of 15 units and a maximum of 24 units. A course that carries 3 units for instance, implies a 2 hours of lecture and 3 hours of practical / Tutorial per week.

8.1 Computation of GPA and CGPA Each student is expected to be able to calculate his/her Grade Point Average (GPA) at the end of each semester and the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) at the end of two or more semesters or sessions. The course unit system is a system whereby programmes are designed with courses which are weighted and classified into various levels for students in the institution of higher learning. Courses are assigned units depending on the volume of work required to complete the course and this includes lectures, tutorials, and practical. The courses can be taken at any level by any student provided there are no (constraints) prerequisites for these courses. For instance, a part I student can offer a course at any level provided the student has the prerequisites required for the course, while a Part IV student can still offer a part I course if such a student so desires. However it is generally desirable that lower level core courses are taken and passed before proceeding to high level ones. The system allows a student to spread his programme evenly over the semesters provided such a student keeps to the rules and regulations of the system. For instance there are minimum and maximum numbers of units a student can register for in a semester. Every semester is as important as the other. A wise student is encouraged to attempt a reasonable number of units (s)he can cope with to ensure a qualitative performance.

9

Apart from the end of semester examination, there are continuous assessments during each semester. These tests and the end of the semester examination make up the set of semester examinations for each course. The following sections explain the procedure for computing the Grade Point Average (GPA) for each set of semester examinations and for upgrading the computations to obtain the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) at any point in time during each student’s course of study. It is strongly advised that every student should learn how to compute (and actually does compute his own) GPA and CGPA. Computing and keeping a record of the CGPA enables the student to be fully aware of what effort he must put in to remain in the University or to graduate in a desired class. This is the only way the student can guard and monitor the quality of his efforts. There is no Examination Re-sit policy for Nigerian universities, therefore any course failed has to be repeated when it is available and must be passed before graduation. Students are strongly advised to consult with their course advisers or tutors before registering courses, and on other academic problems that they may have. It is necessary to first understand and be thoroughly familiar with certain terminologies and abbreviations that are commonly used in the computation of Grade Point Average. These are defined as follows: 8.1.1 Student Workload: This is defined in terms of courses units. One unit represents one hour of lecture or two hours of tutorials or 3 hours of practical work per week throughout a semester. Thus for example, a course in which there are 2 hours of lectures and 2 hours of Tutorial per week is a 3-unit course. Similarly, a course in which there are 2 hours of lecture 2 hours of Tutorial and 3 hours of practical per week is a 4- unit course. 8.1.2 Total Load Units (TLU): This is the total number of course units registered by a student in a particular semester. It is the summation of the load Units on all Courses carried during the semester. For example, a student who is registered for 6 courses of 3 units each has a TLU of 18units for that semester. 8.1.3 Cumulative Load Units (CLU): This is the summation of Total Load units over all the semesters from the beginning to date. A student who is prone to repeating courses will finish (if he does not drop out) with a higher CLU than his non- repeating colleague and will most likely require a longer time to complete requirements for the award of Degrees. 8.1.4 Level of Performance Rating (Credit Points per unit): This is the rating of grades obtained in terms of credit points per load unit. The rating used is as follows: Grading:

% Score Letter Points

70 – 100 A 4

60 – 69 B 3

50 – 59 C 2

10

40 – 49 D 1

0 – 39 F 0

Based on the above, a student who obtained a grade of ‘A’ in a 3-unit course has scored 15 Credit points, and one who obtained a grade of C in that course has scored 6 Credit points.

11

8.1.5 Total Credit Points (TCP): Total Credit Point (TCP) is the sum of the products of the course units and rating in each course, for the entire semester period. For example, consider a student who took four courses of 3-units each. Let’s say the grade obtained in the four courses were C, B, F, and D respectively. The TCP of this study is obtained as follows: TCP = (3×2) + (3×3) + (3×0) + (3× 1) = 18. 8.1.6 Cumulative Total Credit Points (CTCP): Cumulative Total Credit Point (CTCP) is the summation of Total credit points (TCPs) over all semesters from beginning to date. 8.1.7 Grade Point Average (GPA): Grade Point Average (GPA) is the total credit points [TCP] divided by the total load units [TLU]. GPA = (TCP) / (TLU) For example, consider the student whose scores are: A, C, B, F, and D in five 3-units courses. His TCP is = (3x4) + (3x2) + (3x3) + (3x0) + (3x1) = 30 as explained earlier on, and of course, his TLU is 15. [i.e. 5 courses at 3 units each, for the semester]. The highest GPA that can be earned is 4.0 and that is when a student has earned a grade of ‘A’ in every course during the semester. The lowest GPA obtainable is 0.0 and this would happen if the student has “F” all round during the semester. 8.1.8 Cumulative Grade Point Average [CGPA]: This is not the summation of GPAs for all semesters. Rather, it is the summation of TCPs for all semesters, divided by the summation of TLUs for the said semesters. Like the GPA, CGPA, obtainable ranges from 0 to 4.

8.2 Withdrawal from the University A student whose CGPA falls below 1.00 at the end of a semester, shall be placed on probation in the following semester. If the student fails to achieve a CGPA of at least 1.00 at the end of that semester, (s)he shall be required to withdraw from the programme and may seek transfer into another programme in the University.

8.3 Final Assessment and Class of Degree: A student who has satisfactorily completed all requirements for the degree with CGPA of not less than 1.00 may be awarded an Honour degree as follows:

Final CGPA Degree Classification

3.50 – 4.00 1st Class

3.00 – 3.49 2nd Class Upper ( 2.1)

2.00 – 2.99 2nd Class Lower( 2.2)

1.00 – 1.99 3rd class

0 – 0.99 Fail

GEC 206 3 34 F 0 0

GEC 209 3 72 A 4 12

TLU = 15 TCP = 30

GPA = (TCP) / (TLU) = 30/15 = 2.0

GEC 206 3 52 C 2 6

TLU = 12 TCP = 30

GPA = (TCP) / (TLU) = 30/12 = 2.5

To compute the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) for the two semesters, we proceed as follows: CGPA = (Sum of TCPs) / (Sum of TLUs) = (CTCP )/(CTLU) = (30 + 30) /(15 + 12) = 60 /27 = 2.22 8.3.1 Release of Examination Results. The Registrar shall publish the results of the students for the award of the B. Eng. in Mechanical Engineering degree after Senate shall have approved them. Students are required to check the semester and final examination results online.
