Engineering Technology (EngTEC)

Programme Information

The Introduction to Engineering Technology (EngTEC) programme is aimed at providing the basic knowledge and skills needed for science inclined high-school (senior secondary) students and leavers to further their career in Engineering at the University / others. This programme focuses on demystifying technical concepts and empowering youths with the need engineering technical hands-on skills that will enable them achieve a fulfilling engineering adventure.

At the end of this programme the students will receive IIT Technical Recognition on this introductory programme and they may also receive a Nigerian government technical certificate from the National Business and Technical Examination Board (NABTEB) after they have successfully passed the required examinations from IIT and NABTEB respectively.

The Introduction to Engineering Technology (EngTEC) programme is an appreciation programme aimed at developing basic knowledge and skills for engineering programmes at the tertiary institutions. Unlike the Competency Development Programmes (Electromechanics, Electrotechnics, and Mechatronics), it does not prepare candidates for the workplace.

Enrolment to the programme is continuous throughout the year.

Benefits of this Programme

  1. Demystify engineering technical concepts.
  2. Acquiring fundamental technical skills to boost your engineering career.
  3. Proper Ethics grooming through our Work Ethics programme.
  4. This programme gives you solid foundation and puts you ahead of your peers.
  5. Adds a technical skill training to your career and boost your career prospects.
  6. Improves your hands-on ability.
    7. etc.

Admission Requirements

  1. Candidate is in Senior Secondary School (SS3 preferably) or have just completed Secondary School education.
  2. Must have good understanding of physic and mathematics.
  3. Must be medically fit to undergo training.

Programme Structure

This programme comprises of only In-school phase i.e., (learning within IIT training environment).

Students spend about 3 months in school (from July to September). They are expected to be in school from Mondays to Fridays (except for public holidays & other school holidays) from 9:00am to 4:00pm (sometimes they may be expected to be in school till 5:00pm due to the nature of the course/module). A short break (30mins) is held at 11:00pm and a longer break (1 hr) is held at 1.30pm. Students attend theory and practical classes following a weekly schedule.

Students may be required to take external examinations from the National Business and Technical Examination Board (NABTEB) before the completion of their training.

Recognitions

IIT awards to succuesful students who have completed the full programme (3 months) showcasing that they have completed the Introduction to Engineering Technology (EngTEC) programme. This is an appreciation recognition to enhance interest in Engineering.

Certifications from National Business and Technical Examination Board (NABTEB) can also be obtained. TAC applies.

Modules to be trained on:

  1. Mechanical Measurements and Fittings
  2. Power Tools Operations
  3. Fundamentals of Electricity and Electronics
  4. Electrical Wiring and Installations
  5. Fundamentals of Engines
  6. Embedded Systems and Micro-controllers
  7. Work Ethics
  8. Introduction to Mechatronics (Hydraulics, Pneumatics, Electro-pneumatics, Sensors, & Programmable Logic Controls (PLCs))
