3.0 Basic Principles

The following are the basic principles which will inform the teaching imparted in the B.Eng.
programmes of the School of Science and Technology:

- Human beings are moral beings whose behaviour are not mechanically determined by
either internal or external factors and who cannot attain fulfilment if they restrict their
activity to the pursuit of their own individual interests.
- The purpose of an enterprise is not restricted to producing profits for their owners nor
can the objective of maximising profit be the supreme standard of decision.
Organisations are members of larger societies and must contribute to their common
good. The activities of organisations must also be compatible with - and contribute to -
the full human development of those who work in them.
- Organisations are not mere production units. First and foremost they must be human
communities where all have an opportunity to participate and contribute responsibly
to the common good of the organisation and that of society.
- Organisations are not justified in creating and marketing products or services by the
mere fact that a demand for them exists or can be created. The value of the
organisation's activity ultimately depends on its serving authentic human needs and
values.
- Organisations must respect the dignity of all the human persons (employees,
customers, suppliers...) with whom they relate in the exercise of their activity. A
person's dignity is not respected when one chooses to harm him or her, even if this is
done as a means to attain some desirable objective.

6.0 Admission and Matriculation Requirements

Prospective students would need to satisfy the following general requirements:

6
 (a) Admissions shall be through the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board
(JAMB);

(b) For admission to 100-Level through the Unified Tertiary Matriculation

Examination (UTME), candidates should:
i. Obtain at least five (5) credit passes at Senior Secondary School
Certificate Examination (SSSCE) or equivalent in relevant subjects
including English Language, Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry in
not more than two sittings;
ii. Score preferably a minimum of 220 points in UTME. The minimum
point required is subject to review by the University from time to
time.
iii. Pass the Post-UTME interview organized by the university.
iv. It is also desirable for candidates to pass Further Mathematics and
Technical Drawing at credit level, as such candidates shall have added
advantage.

(c) For admission into 200-Level (Direct Entry), candidates should (in addition to 5
SSCE credits in relevant subjects including English Language and Mathematics in
not more than two sittings):
Pass Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry at GCE ‘A’ level or equivalent. Holders
of National Diploma at minimum of Upper Credit level are eligible for
consideration for admission into 200 level. They are also required to pass the
interview organized by the university.

(d) Inter-University Transfer Mode

Students can transfer into 200-Level courses provided they have the relevant
qualifications and pass the interview organized by the Pan-Atlantic University
(PAU). PAU is to satisfy itself that the grades obtained by such candidates from
their previous institution are acceptable.

7.0 The Semester Course System

The undergraduate programmes will run on the Semester Course basis. There shall
ordinarily be two semesters in an academic year, except the University Council through
Senate shall provide otherwise.

(i) Instruction in the programme shall be by courses.

(ii) There shall be five levels of courses in line with the years of study. Level or year
1 courses are 100, 101 etc. and Level 2 or year 2 courses are 200, 201 etc.
(iii) Students will be required to complete their registration for the courses within
the period stipulated by the School. Amendment of this registration will be
allowed through the addition or deletion of courses but it must take place within
three weeks of the commencement of lectures.

7
8.0 Examination and Grading System

Students will be evaluated through a combination of Laboratory Experiments, Continuous

Assessment Tests (30%), Class participation (5%), End-of-Semester Examinations (65%).
For the purely practical/workshop courses, Continuous Assessment will carry 100 marks.

To be eligible to sit for any examinations, students will be expected to attend a minimum of
80% of the lectures of any course registered for. The School reserves the right to prevent
any defaulting student from sitting for the relevant examination.

All courses registered for will be taken into consideration during the computation of
results. Students will not be credited for courses which they did not register for, even if
they are inadvertently allowed to take the examinations and pass them. Failure to take the
examination in a course for which one has registered will attract a score of 0.0, which will
have the consequent effect of lowering the student’s Grade Point Average.

(i) Special examinations to enable a student graduate may in exceptional

circumstances be held by order of Senate.
(ii) Grades will be awarded based on the scores of the students as follows:

Percent score Grade point Letter Grade

70 – 100 5.0 A

60 – 69.9 4.0 B

50 – 59.9 3.0 C

45 – 49.9 2.0 D

0 – 44.9 0.0 F

For the purpose of description, a score below 2 Grade Points constitutes a

failure. The following qualifications shall be applied to the grades:

A Very Good

B Good

C Fair
D Pass
F Poor Performance

8
 (iii) To obtain the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of the student, the grade
point assigned to the mark obtained in each course is multiplied by the units of
that course. The total from all the courses is added up to give the total weighted
grade point. This total is then divided by the total number of units taken by the
student to give the grade point average.
(iv) For the purpose of calculating a student’s CGPA, grades obtained in ALL
registered courses, whether passed or failed, must be included in the
computation.

9.0 Retention and Progression

To remain in the School, students will be required to ensure that their CGPA does not fall
below a certain minimum standard. A student must pass all the specified courses, and
obtain a minimum CGPA of 1.5 at the end of every semester. Any student who does not
meet this requirement will be placed on probation. If after one semester on probation the
CGPA remains below 1.5, the student shall be asked to withdraw. A student on probation
should register for a maximum of 18 credit units.

10.0 Period of Study and Requirements for the Award of a Degree

The normal period of study for a degree shall be ten (10) semesters. The minimum number
of course units for the award of a degree shall be 224.

The determination of the class of degree shall be based on the weighted grade points of all
the courses taken. The award of the degree shall be dependent on the student having
obtained a Cumulative Grade Point Average of at least 1.5 in addition to fulfilling other
minimum requirements for an honours degree.

The following classes of degree are approved for the CGPA indicated:

Class of Degree Cumulative GPA

First Class 4.50 - 5.00
