FORWARD TO THE THIRD EDITION

Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) came into being as a metamorphosed version of the defunct Anambra State University of , Science and Technology (ASUTECH) following the creation of Enugu State in 1991. The Faculty of Applied Natural Sciences (FANS) was one of the pioneer faculties. FANS has been the bedrock upon which the academic programmes of the various University Faculties are anchored. Without prejudice to the above, the faculty has been conducting first degree examinations for the award of bachelors’ Degree in seven departments since 1996.
In reaching out to applicants, the Faculty publishes vital information/guidelines in a brochure which has come To be popularly known as the “Faculty Handbook’ The handbook provides applicants with detailed information on Courses offered and the entry requirements into bachelor Degree Programmes for the departments in the Faculty. In addition; the handbook contains information on the philosophy and objectives of the Faculty and the individual department; regulations governing the conduct of examinations; examinations grading system: project reports and degree classifications and prospects for graduates of the Faculty.
This (third) edition, in consonance with the National Universities ‘Commission (NUC) Minimum Academic Standards, is a revised, up-to-date version of the preceding editions. However changes will continue to be made from time to time in future editions. It is hoped that maximum benefit will be derived from this new edition. Students, applicants and students’ academic advisers are therefore advised to study the Handbook thoroughly. They will be glad they did.

IV. GUIDELINES FOR STUDENTS UNDER THE COURSE CREDIT SYSTEM

• For progress through the degree programmes under this system, students should note certain points. They are important enough to be introduced as background information at this point.

• Every student is assigned an academic adviser who guides the student throughout his/her academic programme in the faculty.
• A student admitted to the University for the first time to read for a degree will be required to matriculate and sign the matriculation register. This exercise is usually organized by the University.
• Proper and timely registration is very important Under the Course Credit System. This is to because the programmes of student are individualized. Students who attempt examinations in courses for which they have not registered will receive no results.

• REGISTRATION

Registration begins with payment of the stipulated fees and other charges to the University in designated banks. Receipts are issued by the University Bursar. Thereafter, registration forms are collected from the faculty office upon presentation of the official receipts. Any student who, by chance, sits for semester examinations without paying school fees and other charges .shall receive no results.

• Normal Registration: It shall be mandatory for all students to register for courses at the beginning of each semester of a session in accordance with the rules made from time to time by the University. Normal Registration for courses shall end at an appropriate time/date to be determined by the University. Registration forms must be carefully and correctly filled out. Cancellations, erasures, mutilations, tee pex, etc are not allowed on the fm bearing any of these defects is nullified and therefore Academic advisers should be consulted before filling the
• Late Registration: Late Registration may be allowed only on payment of a penalty fee which varies from time to time according to the University regulations. The University stipulates the period for late registration.
• There is no promotion from year to year within the course unit system. If the time table permits, a third year student may, for example, take a lower level course, provided that he/she has the pre-requisites (if any).
• Students are never asked to repeat an entire year unless their cumulative grade point average is below 1.0. They repeat only those courses which they fail. Students carrying over courses shall not be allowed to register for more that the approved maximum number of units for the Session. Carry-over courses are registered before new ones.
• Work Load: A student shall normally, in any one academic year, be allowed to register for, and take a minimum of 30 credits and a maximum of 48 credits. Thus, no student can be credited with more than 48 credits at the end of each academic year. Without prejudice to the above, a graduating student may register for only the number of credits he requires to graduate.
• Lectures for all Repeat courses should be attended in their entirety. Most of the problems encountered by students under the course credit system are caused by students’ failure to attend lectures and do homework in courses which they are repeating. Repeating courses without attending the whole course of lectures and doing all the class assignment have often resulted in repeated failures. Even when the same lecturer is giving a course a second or third time, he will more often than not upgrade his notes to incorporate recent advances in science. This will make things difficult for the student who is relying only on reading of previous notes.
• Course Evaluation: Students may be examined by a combination of following methods:

• Term Paper
• Unannounced quizzes
• Take-home assignments
• Mid semester examinations
• Practicals
• Semester (end of course) examinations.

• (a) - (e) above make up the Continuous Assessment which forms part of the end of course grading, provided that it does not count for more than 30%.

IMPORTANT REGULATIONS GOVERNING THE COURSE CREDIT SYSTEM IN THE UNIVERSITY

• Title of Degree: The Faculty provides a 5-year, 4-year and a 3-year programme leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) with Honours in the appropriate subject or degree option.
• Credits and minimum credit load: Courses shall be evaluated in terms of Credits (or Units). A credit (unit) is a one-hour lecture contact per week, or two or three hour laboratory/practical/tutorial class per week or an equivalent amount of study or any combination of these lasting a semester. Thus a credit (unit) load is equivalent to 15 lecture hours or 30 -45 hours of practical, or tutorials.
• Course Coding: Courses are coded by the following approved character codes for the various departments. BCH for Applied Biochemistry BIO for Applied Biology AMB for Applied Microbiology and Brewing GLM for Geology and Mining ICH for Industrial Chemistry MAT/STA for Industrial Mathematics, Statistics & Demography PHY for Industrial Physics
• Course Numbering: A three-digit code is adopted as follows: The first digit denotes the level or year of study. The second digit denotes the subject area (specialist or core area). The third digit denotes the order in which the courses are given provided that: odd numbers represent first semester courses, even numbers represent second semester courses
• *Details of this are given in the programme of each department, zero (0) represent courses running throughout both first and second semesters. Second and third digits as 99 represent SI WES/IT.
• Elective courses: These are courses which can be registered only under the advice of the academic adviser as required courses, and must be passed by a student so advised in order to graduate.
• Core Courses: These are courses that must be offered and passed by all students in any undergraduate programme option of the department,
• Optional Courses: These are courses which may be taken by a student to make up the minimum credits requirements in a semester. All registered courses must however be passed before graduation.
• Industrial Training (IT): Industrial training during the second semester of the third year is compulsory for all students in the Faculty. IT is designed to give students an opportunity to put into practice the knowledge which they have acquired in the classroom, in an industry or related establishment. This Industrial work experience is usually supervised by the Faculty. IT is a pre- requisite for graduation and carries 3 credits.
• Registration of Courses: Courses are registered at the beginning of every session. Failed courses are registered first and higher level courses are then added to make up the approved maximum of 24 credits per semester (if the student is advised to carry full load). Students from other faculties taking service courses in any of the departments in the Faculty MUST register with the relevant departments in the faculty in order to qualify to take the examination. Failure to register means that no record of the student will be in the department/faculty and consequently, no provision will be made for the Indent’s examinations.
• Degree Requirements: To be eligible for a B.Sc. degree in any department in the Faculty, a candidate must successfully complete the following:

• University common courses
• Intra and Inter-faculty courses
• Departmental core courses
• SIWES/IT
• Satisfactory completion of an original research project.

PROJECT REPORT

Undergraduate project report intended for submission to any department in the faculty must be produced according to the prescribed format described below. Project reports that do not conform to the format will be rejected.

• General information: The original project report should be of high quality, produced with word processor. The text should be written in clear, concise language, devoid of flowery, flowing expressions or newspaper language. It should be typed on one face of the paper only, and double-spaced. Hand-written corrections in the projett repot should, be avoided. Abbreviations used in the text must be explained the first time they occur. Mathematical symbols must be clearly and consistently typed to ensure that the meaning and positions are unambiguous. The Faculty colour for bound project report is dark green. For the viva voce (project defence) the project report should be soft bound. After the necessary corrections following the viva voce, the project report should be hard bound for final submission. Three (3) hardbound copies, including the original copy should be submitted on or before the official date for end of lectures for the second semester. Failure to comply means that the student will join the next batch of students in the second semester of the next academic year. There is no provision for inviting the external examiner twice for students’ Viva voce in one academic year. A student is deemed to have completed his/her project and will be entitled to a grade only after the submission of the hard bound copies.
• Layout of the project report: The project report shall consist of different sections as follows:

• Title page
• Approval page (Certification page)
• Dedication (if any)
• Acknowledgement
• List of tables and figures
• Table of content
• Abstract
• Introduction

• * Can be written under separate headings of (a) Results and (b) Discussions

• Title page: Tie title page must begin with the title of the project and -the name of the author. This page should also contain a statement that the project report is submitted in partial fulfillment for the award of a Bachelors .Degree in the student’department.
• Abstract: The project report must begin with an abstract. The abstract should not exceed 300 words, and stating only the highlights of the findings. The abstract which should not be broken into paragraphs should neither contain materials and methods (or any sections of them) nor references.
• The text: References within the text (Introduction, Literature Review. Results and Discussion) should be cited as follows: (Dale, 1988): (Umeh and Joshi. 1993); (Auwalu et al., 1995).
• References: Authors cited in the text should be written and arranged in alphabetical order. Where an author has several publications, the earliest is written first while the latest publication is listed last. Several publications by the same author in one year are cited with the letters (a), (b), (;), etc written after the year in question in order of publication. For joint authorship, the names of all the joint authors must be included.
  The examples given below show the style of referencing approved by the Faculty.

• Tables and figures: These should be clearly set and placed at the top or bottom of the pages if possible. The text should not be wrapped around tables and figures. Tables are numbered (Roman numerals) in the order in which they are first mentioned. Captions should be placed on top of the table. Figures are also numbered (Arabic numerals) in the order in which they are first mentioned, and captions placed below. Line drawings should be prepared. Author’s sketches are not acceptable. Graphs must be properly labelled with clear explanations e.g. the axes should be labelled and curves demarcated with different symbols. Photographs (if any) shall be good quality glossy prints.

Guidelines for producing the report:

• All project reports must be produced on standard A4 paper (20cm x26cm).
• Line spacing: Set at 2. Leave a line space between paragraphs.
• Italics: Use italics for all scientific/ non-English words.
• Where this is not available, underline all scientific/non-English words. For example Periplanata americana. et al-
• ‘Widow/Orphan’ lines: Never start a page with the last line of paragraph or a displayed list; and never finish a page with the first line of a paragraph or a displayed list. Make sure that all the headings are followed on the same page by at least two lines of text.
• Finally, read over your typed document carefully. You lose a lot of marks by allowing typographical errors (and attributing them to the typist:).

EXAMINATION SCORING AND GRADING k SYSTEM/DEGREE CLASSIFICATION

• The following examination scoring, grading and degree classification system shown in Table IV is adopted in the Faculty and the University and it is in consonance with the NUC approved guidelines.

Table IV: Scoring, grading and degree classification system.

Credit Hours (CH)	Percentage Score	Letter Grades	Grade Points(GP)	Grade Points Average(GPA)	Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)	Class of Degree
Vary according to contact hours assigned to each course per week per semester and according to student’s workload	70-100 60-69 50 -56 45 -49 40 –44 0 - 39	A B C D E F	5.00 4.00 3.00 2-00 1.00 0.00	Derived by the total of the grade points divided by the total Number of credit hours i.e. = GPA P Total Ch	4.50-5.00 3.50-4.49 2.40-3.49 1.50-2.39 1.0 -1.49 00.99	First Class 2nd Class Upper 2nd Class Lower Third Class Pass Fail
				TotalG

The degree classification will be based on the Final Cumulative Grade Point Average (FCGPA). FCGPA shall be calculated by dividing the sum of Grade Points for all the courses taken by the total credits of courses taken.

• Grading of repeated courses: Students earn their full marks in repeated courses. However, in calculating the CGPA, the Grade Points earned in all attempts (including the failed attempts) are used. Below is the Faculty Progressive Result Sheet (usually referred to as the ‘Card’) used to record grades of each student from Year 1 - 4 (or more ), for computation of FCGPA to determine class of degree. Student are advised to use this sheet to work out their CGPA as they progress from year 1 to the final. In this way, it will be clear to the student where he/she is heading to so that, at the end, the student will not say “they gave me...!”

EXAMINATION REGULATIONS

• General Information

• Any student who fails to attain at least 70% lecture attendance in a registered course is not entitled to take exams in that course.
• Students shall be examined on courses taught during the semester.
• No student shall be absent from any examination for which he/she is due except on account of ill-health certified by a medical practitioner approved by the university, or for some other reason(s) approved by Senate.
• Course Examination missed for whatever reason, or failed, shall be re-registered in the next earliest opportunity, usually in the relevant semester of the following academic year. There are no re-sit examinations.

• Examination Conduct

INTRODUCTION

Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes which take place in living organisms. It aims at understanding and unraveling the molecular logic of the living state. It is a relatively young science and has only just emerged as a discipline in its own right. Its study has resulted in explaining many cellular phenomena. The knowledge gained from the study of Biochemistry has led to solution of many problems is the medical/clinical field. Of more recent application is the application of biochemical principles for the production of industrial products of a variety of human use. The study of Biochemical engineering aims at optimizing these manufacturing processes. Of immense relevance is the application of Biochemistry in the fermentation and beverage Qualified graduates of Biochemistry are expected to play an important role in the industrialization of Nigeria.

OBJECTIVES

The programme of the department is made to reflect the ‘Applied’ nature of Biochemistry as taught in a University of Technology: hence. Applied Biochemistry is designed for students whose career will involve the practical application of biochemistry. The students are motivated towards understanding and applying the Biochemical principles they have been taught. Owing to the wide scope of Applied Biochemistry, the programme is designed to give a broad based training covering both classical and technological aspects of biochemistry. This includes courses in Enzymology, Metabolic pathways, Immunochemistry, Plant Biochemistry, Genetic Engineering, Pharmacological Biochemistry Industrial Biochemistry/Biotechnology. Food and Nutritional Biochemistry as well as Biochemical Instrumentation and techniques. In addition, an industrial training experience in a modern industry is as major part of the programme. The graduate of the department are therefore well-at-ease in clinical laboratories, industrial and research establishments and manufacturing industries; thus contributing to the achievement of the national objective for a sound technological take-off.

INTRODUCTION

Biology is the scientific study of living organisms. Biological knowledge is required in fields as diverse as Agriculture. Medicine, Town Planning, Environmental Science, Pharmacy. Space Travel. Politics, Philosophy, etc. There is hardly any area of Human endeavour which does not benefit from a biological view point.

Objectives of the Undergraduate Pro gram

The degree program in applied biology and biotechnology is intended for students whose career will be concerned with the practical application of biology with a technological bias. Applied Biology and Biotechnology has recently assumed worldwide cognizance when it was realized that it is the key to most of man’s problems. Its basic importance to social’studies and its contributions to the formulation of a philosophy of life are relevant to disease and pest control; population (human, animal plant) dynamics; food production and supply; biotechnology; environmental pollution and other scourges of the human society. Because of the broad scope implied by Applied Biology, the program is designed to give a broad based training embracing both classical, albeit fundamental biological science courses and their technological (applied) aspects. This covers subjects in physiology, aquaculture, anatomy, ecology, genetics, public health, pest and disease management. parasite logy, taxonomy and aspects of behavioral science cast against a technological background.

There is a wide range of interest areas in biology which enables persons with different backgrounds, aptitudes and temperaments to select satisfactory biological science-based careers e.g. genetic and biophysics for the mathematically inclined: taxonomy and ecology for those with a flair for outdoor activity; morphology, anatomy and cytology for those oriented towards microscopy; chemical taxonomy for the chemically disposed; micro-organisms pest and disease management for those interested in crop and animal production. These specializations come at postgraduate level, but first a fundamental knowledge of plants and animal is required. Apart from teaching and research in basic and applied areas, avenues are open in industries, where they serve as administrators in management positions. In Nigeria, opportunities for service at appropriate levels exist in the commodity research institute such as the Nigerian Institute for Oil’Palm Research, (NIFOR), near Benin, the Rubber Research Institute of Nigeria (RRIN) in lyanomo near Benin; the Tropical Stored Products Institute in Lagos; National Root Crops Research Institute at Umudike; the Veterinary Research Institute at Vom, near Jos; the National Cereals Research Institute in Badeggi near Bida; Cocoa Research Institute of Nigeria (CRIN) near Ibadan; the International Institute for Tropical Agriculture (IITA) at Ibadan; the National Horticultural Research Institute, the Forestry Research Institute and the National Seed Services Organization, all in Ibadan; the various Federal and State Ministries of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, the river Basin Authorities, the Marine and Oceanography Institute in Lagos; and the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (FEPA). Other possible employers of Applied Biology graduates are Federal Quarantine Service, Geological Survey, Oil Exploration Department of NNPC, Germplasm Collection Centers and Harbaria. Museums and Archaeology Institutes, Botanical and Zoological Gardens, parks and Reserves and in various secondary and tertiary institutions.

In the private sector our graduates will find positions in pesticide industries, large farms, agro-based industries and diagnostic laboratories. In the more advanced countries there are many more openings in industries such as pharmaceutical, petrochemical and lumber industries such as fermentation outfits (including breweries); seed companies, food and canning industries and biological supply houses.

Furthermore, prospects for self employment for biologists are quite bright. The areas include floriculture business, mushroom production, fish farming and consultancy services to ministries and various bodies utilizing biological product such as paper mills.

INTRODUCTION

Philosophy

Mathematics may be regarded as the language of science; and the broader objective of science must include the goals of social, economic and political modernization. The classical application of the tools of mathematics was in the field of the physical sciences and engineering. With the advent of Operations research in the second half of the 20th Century, the scope and applicability of mathematical methods have greatly expanded to include the environmental, social and life sciences. The undergraduate programme, which we present here, emphasizes the applications of mathematics and statistics to real life problems. Since any planning at the national level must relate to population distribution, the annual rate of population growth, size of population, labour absorptive capacity of the population, etc, our undergraduate programme for the statistics option lays adequate emphasis on demography and bio-statistics.

Objectives: The general aims of the Department are to enable:

• all students of the University develop clear logical thinking and expression of thought, using the powerful tools of mathematical and statistical modeling as conveyed through our service courses;
• all students of the Department acquire facility in the applications of mathematics and statistics to real life problems in government, industry education and research;
• all students gain sufficient ability in, and know how to teach mathematics and/or statistics in the Nation’s educational institutions at the primary, secondary or tertiary level.

INTRODUCTION

Chemistry deals with the nature of substances and the generation of entirely new materials by their mutual reaction. Industrial Chemistry as a subject therefore comes in very useful as an application of chemical knowledge to a range of industrial endeavours.

The pharmaceutical petrochemical, soap and detergents, paints, dyes and textiles; insecticides, food and biochemical industries are just some of the endeavours where industrial chemistry is applied. A proper training of students t equip them with sound knowledge of chemical principles and Laboratory practice will make it possible for them to help solve problems in such industries.

By being able to design alternate and cheaper routes to production, discover the use of alternative and more readily available raw materials, the trained chemist is equipped to serve as a catalyst for the creation of national wealth for the wellbeing of the general public. Nigeria is a developing country and her budding chemical industries need many such industrial chemists

Objectives of the Department

The undergraduate programme in chemistry is designed’ to cater both for the academic type student, and for those students whose employment will require an application of their knowledge of both chemical principles and chemical laboratory practice.

The theoretical aspects of the course ensure a strong grounding in the different areas of chemistry. In addition students are exposed to some aspects of mathematics, physics, biology, Engineering, Computer Science and Humanities. This ensures a well balanced programme which is intended to produce truly educated graduates, knowledgeable in many fields giving them the ability for sound decision making even in complex situations.

Since the University aims at being)” relevant to the needs of the society” the programme is organized such that her graduates would be equipped not only to work in already established industries but also be able to set cup their own industries which can utilize chemical processes and which can grow to employ others.

PHILOSOPHY AND MAJOR AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME

The programme of the Department of Industrial Physics is designed to:

• Provide the student with an understanding of tie principles governing the behaviour of the physical universe, and
• Develop in the student an appreciation of the scientific method and its application to the technological problems of today. Thus the department aims at developing the human resource into a form that can be of service to the public and to satisfy the needs aid aspirations of the society from which the students are drawn. In this regard the degree programme of the Industrial Physics Department must be applied in nature and resultoriented. The emphasis is therefore, on appropriate technology in the context of a university education.

However, the applied nature of the programme must not be overstretched at the expense of established requirements in the education of a physics. To this end we identify two directions which the degree structure aims at achieving viz

• The vertical direction which emphasizes the global motivation and a sound physics background linking the student with the outside world of high technology. This will take the students through the classical, statistical quantum mechanical to the atomic and subatomic (nuclear) world and the universe; and
• The horizontal direction emphasizing the local motivation and applied nature of the programme. Students are here encouraged to work practically with local materials paying attention to instrumentation, solid state devices and spreading out to telecommunication application and energy related problems of our environment.
