Different practical works in the wood workshop will include the use of simple tools in wood work such as cramps and shooting boards; cutting tools including saws, chisels and planes; other fixing tools such as nail punches, mallets, hammers, screw drivers and the rachet brace. Ideal layout of a wood workshop; wood conversion methods such as slabbing, quarter sawing and tangential sawing. Identification of types and sizes/dimensions of timber in the market. Construction of different wood joints including widening joints, tongue and grove, mitre, tee and cross-halving joints, dowel, etc. 400 Level GET 402 Engineering Project I (2 Units: C; PH 90) Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, the students should be able to: Complete the design phase of a complex engineering problem sourced from industry or community during the SIWES III programme. Demonstrate the connection between engineering product-making and the theoretical courses they have learned following the applicable industry best practices. Course Contents In the second semester of the 400-level students, preferably in groups, work from the university on the identified industry or organization to tackle industry complex engineering problems. Theoretical issues may be provided by the department faculty or industry experts. During the vacation, students will now work full time with the organisation/industry on the project as part of the SIWES III. The students can also go beyond the department and engage in multidisciplinary undertakings. Literature survey, review of existing systems etc. must be achieved to a satisfactory extent. GET 404 Engineering Valuation and Appraisal (2 Units: C; LH 30) Learning Outcomes At the end of this course, the students should be able to: Identify at least three (3) objectives of engineering valuation work, valuer's primary duty and responsibility and valuation terminologies. Describe at least four (4) Valuer's obligation to his or her client, to other valuers, and to the society. Demonstrate with example the engineering valuation methods, valuation standards, and practices. Prepare engineering valuation and appraisal reports and review Discuss expert witnessing and ethics in valuation. Determine price, cost, value, depreciation and obsolescence in real property, personal property, personal property, machinery and equipment, oil, gas, mines, and quarries valuation.

The course provides an opportunity for a programme of self-directed work in the studio discipline of each graduating student. Students engage in a quasi-project of their choice defined in a formal proposal to be appraised by a constituted body and approved. Display of work-in-progress by weekly shall be critiqued by peers and the lecturers in the studio discipline. A work of promise will be passed for further improvement preparatory to a public display. Assessment of students will be based on individual input to his/her work. Where the lecturers are not satisfied with the degree and quality of the student’s work, the student shall be assigned another project of reasonable scope upon which his/her ability can be further judged. FAA 452 Studio Project Report/Exhibition Learning Outcomes At the end of the course, students should be able to: A project work of art for display on a chosen site in any of the Fine Art and Design specialist areas under the guidance of a supervisor. The student is expected to submit an essay on such work of between 1,500-3,000 words, including bibliographic references or works cited. Pertinent to the documentation include stating a particular problem the design addresses, the design concept and mode of execution, choice of form, and antecedents in history. 300 LEVEL SCULPTURE

The fabric and woven structures constitute core aspects of the course. Weaved patterns through time, identification, and application of looms to tapestry, macramé, knitting, and rug production will constitute studio assignments, some of which shall emanate from computer application to pattern drafting to use software packages develop patterns arising from freehand sketches. Also, students are expected to identify non-woven (man-made) fabrics, production processes, and their application for personal, commercial, and industrial uses.
