DEPARTMENT OF CHEMICAL ENGINEERING

FACULTY OF ENGINEERING

HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF THE PROGRAMME

INTRODUCTION

Chemical Engineering has been defined in various ways. According to the American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AICHE) Chemical Engineering is the application of the principles of economics and human relations to fields that pertain directly to processes and process equipment in which matter is treated to effect change in state, energy content or composition.

The British Institution of Chemical Engineers has defined Chemical Engineering as the branch of engineering which is concerned with processes in which materials undergo a required change in composition, energy content or physical state with means of processing, with the resulting products and application to useful ends. However defined it is very clear that Chemical Engineering has very clear links with mathematics, physical chemistry, economics, cybernetics, biological and social sciences and other branches of Engineering. Chemical Engineering as a profession is very important to the industry and society. It seeks to improve the quality of life by proving knowledge and expertise in the areas of chemical processes plant design, operation, production and process economics. The Department offers courses leading to the award of Bachelor of Engineering Degree (B. Engr) and postgraduate Degree i.e. Master’s Degree (M.Eng) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Chemical Engineering.

BRIEF HISTORY

The Senate of Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University, Uli in the year 2001 approved the commencement of the Chemical Engineering Programme and has witnessed a steady growth both in staff student population. It is expected that the first batch of graduates emerged at the end of the 2004/2005 session.

PROGRAMME PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVE

Objectives

The principal objective of the department is the production of engineers who are not only capable of meeting the challenges in the Nigeria Chemical Industrial but also capable of being job-creators instead of job seekers.

It therefore emphasizes a sound knowledge of engineering principles coupled with a high practical and innovative ability to shoulder a board spectrum of engineering responsibilities. To this end the course offered in the department are designed to provide the education training and skill necessary for understanding, planning, designing, operating and maintaining the various processes and operations involved in the modern Chemical Industry.

In addition to the teaching programmes, the Department encourage research and development work by the students and the academic staff. This area is taken very seriously by this Department in view of our present economic problems and lack of maintenance of numerous sophisticated machines from overseas dumped into this country. Students are therefore encouraged to develop indigenous chemical processes which are appropriate for our specific needs and environment and which utilize our natural material and resources. They are likewise encouraged to design, assemble and construct the equipment need for their research projects. Emphasis is placed on the construction of plant and mini-pilot scale equipment in order to afford student the opportunity to work with units, which approximate those used in industry.

MISSION STATEMENT

Third Class Honours 1.50 – 2.29

CALCULATION OF GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA)

Calculation of grade point Average (GPA) and cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA), is a very easy task. It involves simple arithmetic operation of addition multiplication and division of numbers. However, despite its elementary nature, certain basic explanation/definitions of terms are required for proficiency.

Every student is encouraged to master this technique so as to be able to keep a personal track of his/her from admission to graduation.

TOTAL NUMBER OF UNITS (TNU) OR TOTAL CREDITS (TC)

Every course has a weight of number of units attached to it. the number of units attached to any course is composed of the hour of lectures, tutorials, and/or practical expected to be delivered per week on the course.

The total number of units (TNU) is simply the arithmetic addition of the unit weights of all course under consideration. For the student, James Victor, in Table 1, the current TNU is obtained as 3+3+4+1+4+3+1 = 20.

TOTAL GRADE POINT (TGP) OR TOTAL QUALITY POINT (TQP)

The raw score obtained by each student in any course is converted to grade and subsequently to grade point (GP) as follows:

% SCORE GRADE GRADE POINT

70 – 100 A 5

60 – 69 B 4

50 – 69 C 3

45 – 49 D 2

The Total Grade Point (TGP) for each student is obtained by multiplying the Grade Point earned by the student in that course by the units assigned to the course, and summing over all the courses registered by the student for the semester.

For the student, James Victor, Table 1, the current TOP is Obtained as: (5×3)+(5×3) + (5×4) + (3×1) + (3×4) + (4×3) + (3X1) = 48

GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA): The Grade Point Average

(GPA) is simply equal to the quotient of TOP and TUN, ie.

, GPA = TCP

TNU

For the student James Victor in Table 1. The current GPA is obtained as 84/20 = 4.2

CURRENT PREVIOUS AND CUMULATIVE RESULT

The above computations are performed each semester and give the TNU, TGP and GPA for each student for that semester. These are refereed to as the current result and are under the column “current” in the result sheet (see table 1).

The previous TNU, TGP and GPA of each student are also reflected under the column “pervious” in the result sheet. The “previous” TNU is the summation of the TNU’s from al! the semester before the current semester. The “previous” TGP is similarly the summation of the TGP’s from all the semester before the current semester. The “previous” GPA is the quotient of the “previous” TQP and “previous” TNU.

Finally the cumulative result of each student are also on the result sheet under the column “cumulative”. The cumulative result are made up of the current and previous result as shown below.

Cumulative TNU = current TNU + previous TNU

Cumulative TGP = current TOP + previous TOP

Cumulative GPA (CGPA) = cumulative TCP/cumulative TNU

These cumulative result serve as the “previous” result during the following semester result computations.
