Information and Communication Engineering (ICE)

The Information and Communication Engineering programme has full accreditation status from the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN). The programme was last accredited by a team of accreditors from NUC in the November/December 2022 Accreditation batch in which the programme got a full accreditation status to run for a period of five (5) years while the team of accreditors from the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN) visited the department for re-accreditation in October, 2023.

PEO 5: To produce information and communication engineering graduates with the ability to function in multidisciplinary settings through the combination of effective technical, communication and leadership skills to drive organizational success.

PEO 6: To provide the engineering industry with graduates who are highly employable and sufficiently equipped with entrepreneurial skills to assume technical and managerial positions as well as meet the dynamic demands of the global information and communication industry.

PROGRAMME OUTCOMES (POS)

The Programme Outcomes (POs) of the Department of Information and Communication Engineering at Elizade University are carefully structured to ensure that students acquire the essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to tackle real world challenges in the ever-evolving field of engineering. Our curriculum is designed to provide a robust foundation while fostering practical and analytical skills as students progress through the programme. Our POs which will serve as the framework to achieve these graduate attributes are summarized as follows:
PO1 - ENGINEERING KNOWLEDGE
Apply knowledge of mathematics, natural and engineering, sciences, mechanical engineering fundamentals, and engineering principles to solve complex engineering problems.
PO2 - PROBLEM ANALYSIS
Identify, formulate, conduct research literature, and analyse complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural and engineering sciences and principles.
PO3 - DESIGN/DEVELOPMENT OF SOLUTIONS
Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
PO4 – INVESTIGATION
Conduct investigation of complex engineering problems using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.

PO5 - MODERN TOOL USAGE
Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to complex engineering problems, with an understanding of the limitations.
PO6 - THE ENGINEER AND SOCIETY
Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice and solutions to complex engineering problems.
PO7 - ENVIRONMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY
Understand and evaluate the sustainability and impact of professional engineering work in the solutions of complex engineering problems in societal and environmental contexts.
PO8 - ETHICS
Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.
PO9 - INDIVIDUAL AND TEAMWORK
Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multidisciplinary settings.
PO10 - COMMUNICATION
Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
PO11 - PROJECT MANAGEMENT
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and economic decision making and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
PO12 - LIFE LONG LEARNING

Recognize the need for and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and lifelong learning in the broadest context of technological change.

In the Department of Information and Communication Engineering, the students are trained for the award of B. Eng. degree in Information and Communication Engineering. Information and Communication Engineering involves the design, construction, installation, operation and maintenance of telecommunication systems. The teaching and research are based on sound academic foundation as well as practical orientation, integrated with hands-on training and industry-based learning. The programme exposes the students to current and emerging technologies in the control, design, analysis and applications of communication networks, specifically in the areas of networking, telecommunications, enterprise-resource planning, human-computer interaction, internet protocol, E-commerce, and integrated business systems, as well as, digital representation of audio, video and other multi-media. The students are also mentored in related industries on technology platforms that support business processes, managerial decision-making, and organizational communication.

The Information and Communication Engineering programme has full accreditation status from the National Universities Commission (NUC) and the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria (COREN). The programme was last accredited by a team of accreditors from NUC in the November/December 2022 Accreditation batch in which the programme got a full accreditation status to run for a period of five (5) years.
