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.

7

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.
