DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS & COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING
- Rationale, Goals and objectives of the programme of study:
- Rationale
- The Electronics and Communication Engineering Programme is designed to provide students with fundamental training in the theoretical and practical aspects of Electronics and Communication.Coupled with the program’s strong mathematics component, the program is designed to provide the student with a broad background and understanding of fundamental principles of Electronics and modern technology.
- Goals and Objectives
ANU’s general-education program in Electronics and Communication has 4 main goals:
To provide quality education this meets international standards.
To produce high quality managers, scientists and innovators for their nations, with Christian values.
To conduct International conferences, technical workshops, and meetings of minds towards more scientific advancement
To motivate every student to strive for their highest possible achievements
To set up high quality research centres for innovation and creativity
To motivate every faculty to publish quality refereed technical papers yearly.
- Employment prospects of graduands.
- Where are they in the country’s occupational structure?
Graduates are provided with the strong background (Academic, Industrial & Total Personality Development) for employment in a wide variety of Electronics as well as Communication fields including the modern technology like VLSI, Embedded Systems, mobile computing. This would help them either to be a successful entrepreneur or to serve MNCs, Engineering, and Manufacturing companies; Non-Government/Non-Profit (NGO’s) organizations and Agencies as well as Government establishments.
Employers’ comment:
So far, our graduates have 100% employability. Our graduates work in various organizations including MTN, Kasapa, ECG, Ghana Telecom, VRA, CocaCola, among many other companies.
Entry requirements for admission of students
The office of Admissions is responsible for the admission of school Candidates and transfer students. The office is also responsible for the addition of transfer credits to the ANU records of continuing and re-admitting students. Inquiries may be addressed to the Office of Admissions, All Nations University, Koforidua, Ghana or ANIDA in Accra-Ghana, Dallas-Texas and Toronto-Canada.
When applying for admission as a freshman, the applicant must provide the following:
- An application completed in full and with a 30 Ghana Cedis non-refundable fee payable by certified cheque or money order or cash.
- An official high school transcript forwarded by the applicant’s high school. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that final grades are sent immediately following graduation.
- SAT scores for international students where applicable
- Official O and A level General Certificate Examination
The Ghanaian National Council for Tertiary Education (NCTE) directives will guide the admissions policy of All Nations University
There are two categories of school candidates, namely candidates with “A” Level qualification, and candidates with Senior Secondary School Certificate qualification.
- For “A” level candidates the requirements are: credit passes in five subjects including English Language, Mathematics, a Science subject and an Arts subject at “O” Level and three passes, including at least one pass at grade D or better at the Advanced level.
- For SHS candidates, aggregate 24 or better in six subjects, consisting of Core English and Core Mathematics and another core subject and three elective subjects.
- For computer science, “A” Level Mathematics or SSS Elective Mathematics is required
- Mature candidates with relevant work experience who pass the university or ANUPE placement exams
Requirements for graduation
- Students seeking the general degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering must successfully complete 160 credit hours to obtain the B.E. degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering .These include 52 credits in ANU general education, 93 credit hours in core courses and 15 credit hours of restricted Electronics and Communication elective courses.
- Transfer students admitted to higher levels must complete the minimum required credit hours as specified in the general academic guideline.
- Students must meet prerequisites prior to enrolling in more advanced Electronics and Communication courses.
- Students must earn at least a “C+” grade in all science, mathematics and Electronics and Communication courses.
- Each student must pass a comprehensive examination covering the content of the core courses.
All Nations University operates under the semester system. The purposes of transfer, credits earned under the quarter system are converted to semester units at the time of admission, with 11/2 quarter units equal to one (1) semester unit. At ANU courses are assigned a unit value determined by the number of hours of work per week for 16 weeks: specifically, the university requires one hour of work per week for each unit of credit. For example in a three unit course, a student is expected to attend class or do assigned field work three hours per a week for 16 weeks.
- Other equivalent requirements
- Title of degree
Bachelor of Engineering (B.E.) in Electronics and Communication Engineering.
Credit hour definition
One semester hour normally represents one class hour or two laboratory hours per week. One academic year normally represents approximately 30 weeks of class exclusive of final examinations.
Time assigned to a course
The credit hours specified do not include time spent out side of class. The time assigned to courses does not include the instructors’ preparation time or the time students spend out the class. As a general guideline, the amount of-out-of-class work is approximately three times the in-class time. Thus, a course this listed as requiring three credit hours will entail a total of 12 hours (three in class and nine outside)
We assume that a course meets three times a week over the course of a 15-week semester and that the individual class meetings run somewhere between 50minutes and an hour. This schedule is typical for a three credit semester course in ANU.
Given that some of the available time will be taken up with examinations and other activities, a minimum of 40 hours of lecture will be available over the semester. In addition, students are expected to devote three hours of time outside of class for each in-class hour, which means that the total time that each student is expected to invest is 160 hours in each case. Any additional requirement for graduation, e.g. Attendance requirements.
Regulation Governing Assessments of Students
There will be a combination of continuous assessment and end-of –semester examination. Continuous assessment will consist of class assignment, quizzes and tests, including mid-semester examinations.
The weightings for the two modes of assessment shall be as follows:
