Academics (Curriculum and duration of program): link development in progress

Undergraduate Programme (s) and Linkages

Please note that 100-level courses are been taught by the Faculties of Life and Physical Sciences, and the general Engineering courses at the 200 Level are anchored at the Faculty of Engineering and Technology. The 300-level, 400-level, and 500-level courses are domiciled primarily in the Department. The details of all courses from 100 – 500 level are tabulated below.

Course Structure

At the commencement of each session, students are required to register for specific courses. Courses taught at different levels are designed to systematically build up the student’s knowledge of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering. Courses are identified by Codes, Course title, Credit units, Course status, Lecture hour, and Practical hour. The number of credits attached to a course signifies the weight and time allotment to teaching the course. Each credit unit course is assigned 15 hours of lectures or 45 hours of practical hours. Course codes are determined by level, specialization, semester, and changes when the course content is altered. Any change in course structure is subject to approval by the University Senate. The course status may be categorized as Compulsory (C), Required (R), or Elective (E).

Postgraduate studies

The growing manpower needs for research and teaching in industries and higher educational institutions inform the establishment of postgraduate degrees (M.Eng. and PhD) in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering in three key options currently available in the department. Candidates have the option of choosing, based on interest, from the areas outlined as follows: Electrochemistry and corrosion; Metallurgy (ferrous and non-ferrous), and Advanced Engineering Materials (Advanced composite materials, nanomaterials, and biomaterials.)

The philosophy of the Master of Engineering degree in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering is as follows:

1. training of skilled manpower fortified with analytical reasoning and creative innovation for the sustainability of indigenous metallurgical and materials industries;
2. acquisition and dissemination of technological knowhow for the development of nations’ abundant solid minerals for socio-economic benefits; and
3. provision of middle-level manpower for research and academic institutions, capable of conducting meaningful research directed towards national development and growth of the industry.

Duration of the Programme

The duration for Master degree in Materials and Metallurgical Engineering shall include the time for taught course works and scientific research (dissertation) detailed as follow:

1. Full Time: Minimum of 18 calendar months and maximum of 24 calendar months.
2. Part Time: Minimum of 24 calendar months and maximum of 36 calendar months.

Departmental library

Relevant books and journals are provided in the departmental library. Electronic materials are also installed on the computer systems available in the library.
