Professional Courses are the core Hydrology and Water Resources Management Courses which give the student the theoretical andpractical skills needed to practice in hydrology and water resources management. These may account for between 70-80% of thecontact hours.

5.0 CURRICULUM STRUCTURE OF THE ND PROGRAMME IN HYDROLOGY AND WATER RESOURCESMANAGEMENT

The structure of the ND programme consists of four semesters of Classroom, Laboratory and Studio activities in the institution. Eachsemester shall be of 17 weeks duration made up as follows: 15 contact weeks of teaching (Lecture and Practical Exercises), and 2weeks for Tests, Quizzes, and Examinations, and Registration.

6.0 ACCREDITATION

The National Diploma (ND) in Hydrology and Water Resources Management shall be accredited by NBTE before the diplomates canbe awarded the Diploma Certificate. Details about the process of accrediting a programme for the award of the ND are available fromthe Executive Secretary, National Board for Technical Education, Plot ‘B’, Bida Road, P.M.B. 2239, Kaduna, Nigeria or the Board’swebsite at www.nbte.ng.org.

7.0 CONDITIONS FOR THE AWARD OF THE DIPLOMA

Institutions offering accredited programmes shall award the National Diploma (ND) to candidates who have successfully completedthe programme after passing prescribed course work, examinations and diploma project. Such candidates should have completed aminimum of 72 semester credit units.

The Diplomas shall be classified as follows on a 4-point grading system:

Distinction - CGPA of 3.50 and above

Upper Credit – CGPA of 3.00 – 3.49

Lower Credit – CGPA of 2.50 – 2.99

Pass - CGPA of 2.00 – 2.49

8.0 GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS TEACHING THE PROGRAMME

8.1 The new curriculum is drawn in course units. This is in keeping with the provisions of the National Policy on Education whichstresses the introduction of the semester credit units, which will enable a student who so wishes to transfer the units alreadycompleted in an institution to another of similar standard.

8.2 In designing the units, the principle of the modular system by product has been adopted thus making each of the professionalmodules, when completed, to provide the student with technical operative skills, which can be used for job creation andemployment purposes.

8.3 As the success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of programmes between the institutions and industry, theCurriculum Content has been written in behavioral objectives, so that the expected performance of the student whosuccessfully completed the courses of the programme is clear to it. There is a slight departure in the presentation of theperformance based curriculum which requires the conditions under which the performances are expected to be carried out andthe criteria for the acceptable levels of performance to be stated. It is a deliberate attempt to get the staff of the departmentteaching the programme to write their own curriculum stating the conditions existing in their institution under which theperformance can take place and to follow that with the criteria for determining an acceptable level of performance. TheAcademic Board of the institution may vet departmental submission on the final curriculum. The aim is to continue to see to itthat a solid internal evaluation system exists in each institution for ensuring minimum standards and quality of education in theprogrammes offered throughout the polytechnic and other specialized institution such as the Hydrology and Water ResourcesManagement sector system.

8.4 The teaching of the theory and practical work should, as much as possible, be integrated. Practical exercises, especially thosein professional courses and studio work should not be taught in isolation from the theory. For each course, there should be abalance of theory to practice.

9.0 GUIDELINES ON SIWES FOR ND THAT HAS MORE THAN TWO ND PROGRAMMES AS ITS PRE-REQUISITE

9.1 For the smooth operation of the SIWES the following guidelines shall apply.

a. Institution offering the ND programme shall arrange to place the students in industry. By the end of the secondsemester/first year of the programme, six copies of the master list showing where each student has been placed shall besubmitted to the Executive Secretary, NBTE, who shall, in turn authenticate the list and forward it to the Industrial TrainingFund, Jos.

b. The Placement Officer should discuss and agree with industry on the followingi. A task inventory of what the student is expected to experience during the period of attachment. It may be wise to

adopt the one already approved for each field by the industry based supervisor. ii. The evaluation of the student by the industry based supervisor and the institution-based supervisor.iii. The final grading of the student during the period of attachment should be weighted more on the evaluation by

industry-based supervisor.

c. The Supervised Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES) shall be for a minimum of three months in the relevantIndustry.

9.2 Evaluation of Students during the SIWES

In the evaluation of the student, cognizance should be taken of the following items:

i. Punctualityii. Attendanceiii. General Attitude to Workiv. Respect for authorityv. Interest in the field/technical areavi. Technical competence as a potential technician in his field.vii. Team work

9.3 Grading of SIWES

To ensure uniformity of grading scales, the institution should ensure that the uniform grading of students work which has beenagreed to by all polytechnics is adopted.

9.4 The Institution Based Supervisor

The institution-based supervisor should initial the log book during each visit. This will enable him to check and determine towhat extent the objectives of the scheme are being met and to assist students having any problems regarding the specificassignments given to them by their industry-based supervisor.

9.5 Frequency of Visit

Institution should ensure that students placed on attachment are visited within one month of their placement. Other visits shallbe arranged so that:

1. There is another visit six weeks after the first visit; and2. Final visit in the last month of the attachment

9.6 Stipend for Students in SIWES

The rate of stipend payable shall be determined from time to time by the Federal Government after due consultation with theFederal Ministry of Education, the Industrial Training Fund and the National Board for Technical Education (NBTE).

9.7 SIWES as a Component of the Curriculum

The completion of SIWES is important in the final determination of whether the student is successful in the programme or not.Failure in the SIWES is an indication that the student has not shown sufficient interest in the field or has no potential tobecome a skilled technician in field. The SIWES should be graded on a fail or pass basis. Where a student has satisfied allother requirements but failed SIWES he may only be allowed to repeat another four months SIWES at his/her own expense.

10.0 CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

The ND Hydrology and Water Resources Management course prepares students for career in the following areas which include:

Private Industry and Professional Consulting Firms National Inland Waterways Authority River Basin Development Authority State Water Corporations/Boards Water Drilling Companies Water Resource Consulting Firms National Emergency Management Agency Federal/State Ministries of Water Resources and Rural Development Federal/State Environmental Protection Agencies Watershed Management NGOs.

Guidelines for textbook writers (ND AND HND)

The following guidelines are suggestions from the Engineering Committees to the writers of the textbooks for the new curricula. They areintended to supplement the detailed syllabuses which have been produced, and which define the content and level of the courses.

Authors should bear in mind that the curriculum has been designed to give the students a broad understanding of applications in industry andcommerce, and this is reflected in the curriculum objectives.

• One book should be produced for each syllabus

• Page size should be A4

• The front size should be 12 point for normal text and 14 point where emphasis is needed

• Line spacing should be set to 1.5 lines

• Headings and subheadings should be emboldened

• Photographs, diagrams and charts should be used extensively throughout the book, and these items must be up-to-date

• In all cases, the material must be related to industry and commerce, using real life examples wherever possible so that the book is not just atheory book. It must help the students to see the subject in the context of the ‘real word’

• The philosophy of the courses is one of an integrated approach to theory and practice, and as such, the books should reflect this by not makingan artificial divide between theory and practice.

• Illustrations should be labelled and numbered. • Examples should be drawn from Nigeria wherever possible, so that the information is set in acountry context.

• Each chapter should end with student self-assessment questions (SAQ) so that students can check their own master of the subject

• Accurate instructions should be given for any practical work having first conducted the practical to check that the instructions do indeed work

225

• The books must have a proper index or table of contents, a list of references and an introduction based on the overall course philosophy andaims of the syllabus.

• Symbols and units must be listed and a unified approach used throughout the book

• In case of queries regarding the contents of the books and the depth of information, the author must contact the relevant curriculum committeevia the National Board for Technical Education

• The final draft version of the books should be submitted to Nigerian members of the curriculum working groups for their comments regardingthe content in relation to the desired syllabus.
