Information and Communication Engineering Covenant University

Overview

Programme Overview

The philosophy of the Information and Communication Engineering programme from Covenant University in Covenant University is designed to produce a new generation of youths who have a sound knowledge of the fundamentals in electrical or computer engineering that allows them to analyse and solve technical problems, to apply hardware and software tools to problem solution, and to create and evaluate technical products. 

The duration of each of the Degree Programmes in the Department is five (5) years or ten (10) semesters. Nine (9) semesters of coursework and laboratory practicals are spent in the University. The long vacation of eight (8) weeks between the 200 level and 300 levels is devoted to Students’ Work Experience Programme (SWEP) in the different works and production centres of the University (e.g., Wood mill, batching plant, metal fabrication workshop, bakery, Hebron Water, Dominion Press, CLMT, construction sites, etc.). At the 400 level, students embark on Students Industrial Experience Scheme (SIWES) which involves six months of industrial training, starting immediately after the Alpha Semester. As a result, the first three years, that is 100, 200, 300 levels, are 100% common to the three Programmes.
