General Information

1.0 The certificate to be awarded and the programme title shall read: -
"HIGHER NATIONAL DIPLOMA IN BUILDING TECHNOLOGY"

2.0 GOAL ANDOBJECTIVES


2.1 Goal
The Higher National Diploma in Building Technology is designed to produced diplomates with the knowledge and skills who will actively participate in the building
industry.
2.2 Objectives

On completion of the programme, the diplomate should be able to:

i. Supervise the construction of buildings of all sizes from setting out to final completion.

ii. Manage efficiently the construction of building of all sizes from setting out to final completion.
iii. Understand all kinds of building production documents;
iv.Interpret building production documents.
v. Carry out structural design and detailing of small and medium size buildings
vi. Prepare realistic estimates in terms of cost, materials and labour for all building works including maintenance works.

vii. Determine quality of material to be used for construction through appropriate tests in line with relevant codes of practice

viii Carry outbuilding surveys practice;


xi Prepare a cost effective post-tender report for all sizes of buildings contracts after competitivebidding.
3.0 ENTRYREQUIREMENTS
The entry requirement for HND Building Technology programme are as follows:
 All the requirements for admission into National Diploma (ND) in Building technology
 National diploma in building technology with a minimum of lower credit pass;
 A minimum of one-year post National Diploma (ND) industrial training/work experience in Building or construction related industry
 Candidate with ND at pass level and a minimum of two years post ND industrial training/work experience may also be considered.
4.0 DURATION
The programme is designed to run for a minimum of four semesters, which is two academic sessions.

5.0 CURRICULUM
5.1The curriculum of the HND Programme consists of the following four main components:
 General Studies/Education;
 Foundation courses;
 Professional/Core Courses;
 Project

5.2 The General Education component shall include courses in: English Language, Communication, Entrepreneurship Development. The General
Education component shall account for not more than 10 - 15% of the total contact hours for the programme

5.3 Foundation courses include courses in Mathematics, Information and Communication Technology, Engineering. The number of hours for the
foundation courses for the programme may account for about 10-15% of the total contact hours
5.4 Professional courses are core courses of the programme which give the student the theory, practical and professional skills he needs to practice his
field of calling at the technologist level. These may account for between 60-70% of the contact hours
6.0 CURRICULUM STRUCTURE

The structure of the HND Programme consists of four semesters of classroom, laboratory and workshop activities in the Institution. Each semester shall
be of 17 weeks‟ duration made up as follows:
i. 15 contact weeks of teaching, i.e. lecture recitation and practical exercises, etc.; and
ii. 2 weeks for tests, quizzes, examinations and registration

7.0 ACCREDITATION
The Higher National Diploma programme shall be accredited by the National Board for Technical Education before the diplomates can be awarded the certificates.
Details about the process of accrediting a programme for the award of the Higher National Diploma are available from the Executive Secretary, National Board for
Technical Education, Plot “B”, Bida Road, P.M.B. 2239, Kaduna, Nigeria.

8.0 CONDITIONS FOR AWARD OF HIGHER NATIONAL DIPLOMA


The award of Higher National Diploma includes the following:
a. Satisfactory performance in all prescribed course work which may include class work, tests, quizzes.
b. Workshop practice, laboratory work.
c. Satisfactory performance at all semester examinations.
d. Satisfactory completion of final year project work. Normally, continuous assessment contributes 30%, project work 10% while semester examinations
are weighted 60% to make a total of 100%.

i. Grading of Courses: Courses shall be graded as follows:


Mark Range (%) Letter Grade Weighting
75 and Above A 4.00
70 – 74 AB 3.50
65 – 69 B 3.25
60 – 64 BC 3.00
55 – 59 C 2.75
50 – 54 CD 2.50
45 – 49 D 2.25
40 – 44 E 2.00
Below 40 F 0.00

ii. Classification of Diplomas: Diploma Certificates shall be awarded based on the following classifications:
 Distinction - CGPA of 3.5 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

9.0 GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS OF THE PROGRAMME

9.1 The new curriculum is drawn in unit courses. This is in keeping with the provisions of the National Policy on Education which stress the need to
introduce the semester credit units which will enable a student who so wish to transfer the units already completed in an institution similar standard from
which he/she is transferring

9.2 In designing the units, the principle of the modular system by product has been adopted, thus making each of the professional modules, when
completed provides the student with technician operative skills, which can be used for employment purposes self - and otherwise.

9.3 As the success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of programmes between the institutions and industry, the curriculum content has been written
in behavioural objectives, so that it is clear to all the expected performance of the student who successfully completed some of the courses or the diplomates of the
programme. This is slight departure in the presentation of the performance based curriculum which requires the conditions under which the performance are expected to
be carried out and the criteria for the acceptable levels of performance. It is a deliberate attempt to further involve the staff of the department teaching he programme to
write their own curriculum stating the conditions existing in their institution under which performance can take place and to follow that with the criteria for determining an
acceptance level of performance. The Academic Board of the institution may vet departmental submission on the final curriculum. Our aim is to continue to see to it that
a solid internal evaluation system exists in each institution for ensuring minimum standard and quality of education in the programmes offered throughout the
Polytechnic system

9.4 The teaching of the theory and practical work should, as much as possible, be integrated. Practical exercises, especially those in professional courses
and laboratory work should not be taught in isolation from the theory. For each course, there should be a balance of theory to practical in the ratio of 50:50
or 60:40 or the reverse.

10.0 FINAL YEAR PROJECT


Final year students in this programme are expected to carry out a project work. This could be on individual basis or group work. The project should, as
much as possible incorporates basic element of design, drawing and complete fabrication of a marketable item or something that can be put to use. Project
reports should be well presented and should be properly supervised. The departments should make their own arrangement of schedules for project work.
