Departmental library

A departmental library is housed within the department providing opportunities to staff and students alike to access resourceful textbooks and journals. The library is periodically stocked with the latest textbooks in order to continuously align with the ever-evolving field due to technological advancement.

Student Work

Courses

Courses for the session are registered on-line at the beginning of the session. In addition, a student is required to go to his level adviser after the on-line registration in order to complete the registration process. Failure to register before the deadline, as stipulated by the university, may result in loss of that session or voluntary withdrawal from the programme. A student cannot re-register for a course already passed.

Examinations

Examination questions are set by the lecturer(s) assigned to teach the courses. Final year examination questions are particularly moderated by External Examiners who are seasoned, experienced and long-standing professionals in various fields of Electrical and Electronics Engineering. At the end of every session, External Examiners are invited to vet question papers, results, project reports and conduct a project defense for final students in the department.

Grading

The University operates a 5-point grading system for the undergraduate students in which the continuous assessment takes 30% and examination 70% in each course for each semester. The Continuous Assessment is made up of class attendance/quiz/test/assignment as applicable. In addition, a student must satisfy a minimum of 70% attendance at lectures before being allowed to sit for examination in the respective course.

The range of scores and the corresponding letter grades are as shown in the Table below.

Grade	Grade Point	Range of Scores (%)
ABCDEF	5.04.03.02.01.00.0	70 and above60 – 6950 – 5945 – 4940 – 44Less than 40

Industrial Training

The Industrial Training aspect of the degree programme is divided into four parts.  The first part is the Student Work Experience Program (SWEP) which is held at the end of the 200-level, just during the end of-session break in the Faculty’s workshops and laboratories.  During this programme students are exposed to workshop practice and have a “hands-on” experience of practical engineering. This serves as a channel for integrating in-house entrepreneurial development and skill into our programme.

The three other parts expose the students to real-life situations in engineering or related establishments within and outside the country.  The Department has recorded impressive growth in the area of academic, administrative, staffing and infrastructures.

2. To foster cordial relationship among all members of the department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Students, University of Ilorin.
3. To deliberate issues affecting the academic and social welfare of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Students of Unilorin
4. To organize a forum for discussing the building the potentials of future engineers through organizing of lectures, symposia, quizzes, excursions, exhibition just to mention  few.
5. To foster the development of new technologies in Nigeria through research and project executions
6. To provide useful information and assistance on industrial attachment by organizing annual placement of SIWES program.

MEMBERSHIP:
