Philosophy and Cardinal Principles of the University

Abdullahi Bayero College was reconstituted into a University College with effect

from October 01, 1975 and into Bayero University in October 01, 1977.

The Academic Development Committee outlined a philosophy consistent

with the traditions and character, which the College acquired during its

years of existence. Briefly, it is that the University is to pay due respect to

human values. It is to:

“be built on those beliefs, values and traditions that the society holds most

sacred. The University should strive to be symbol of the spirit of its

community, the guardian of its morals, the formulator of its hopes, be they

spiritual or material. It should monitor the inevitable changes that come

with time and, in assimilating these essential values and nuances, the

University, recognizes the need to:

1. Deepen individuals’ awareness of the value of the cultural heritage;

2. Foster and reinforce the moral, ethical and spiritual values sacred to

the culture;

3. Provide the knowledge, skills and technology required for the benefit

of the wider community;

4. Contribute, by research, to the universal body of knowledge;

5. Further the objectives of a united, fair and just community, society

and nation”

In pursuing its aims and objectives, the University will be constantly guided

by the requirements of the national plans, manpower needs and sheer

physical and environmental factor

It is with all humility and gratitude to the Allah that I wish to present this

edition of Faculty hand book.

The Handbook has been prepared to enable student obtain a firsthand

information with regards to their academic pursuit in the Faculty and the

University at large. Specifically, the faculty handbook is designed to equip

students with the courses offered in all the programmes, credits units,

regulations governing course registrations, examinations, grading systems

and the penalties associated with engaging in examination misconduct. The

handbook will indeed be valuable to the student and should be consulted

regularly.

On behalf of the faculty board of examiners, I wish each and every student

in the faculty a successful journey toward the accomplishment of obtaining

a degree in computing in the faculty of computer science and information

technology, nothing that the degree will be awarded based on character and

learning.

HISTORY OF THE DEPARTMENT

The seed of the Department of Computer Science was originally sown in 1990 by Prof. Muhammad Yahuza Bello, the then Head of Mathematics Department. Prof. Bello proposed that the name of the Department be changed to “Department of Mathematical Sciences”. This, he argued “….. will allow the Department to expand and introduce more degree programs such as BSc Statistics, BSc Operational research, BSc Computer Science, BSc. Actuarial Science, etc., and eventually split into different Departments…. ”. The Senate of the University approved the proposal and the name of the Department of Mathematics was thus changed to “Department of Mathematical Sciences.” In 1997, a committee of 3 academics was setup by the Department of Mathematical Sciences to prepare an academic brief to be submitted to the University Academic Development Committee (ADC) for approval to commence BSc Statistics and BSc Computer Science. The committee under the leadership of Prof. Muhd Rujbani (with Dr. Aliyu Ibrahim Kiri and Dr. A. B. Baffa as members) submitted their report which recommended among others that:

“A diploma program in Computer Science be commenced by the next academic session to prepare the ground for introducing Bachelor degree program in Computer Science ...” and that “… the Universities strategic plan should incorporate this …”

They also drew an action plan for the smooth take off of the programs. In 1998 the Diploma in Computer Science program was started. Over 800 prospective students applied for the program. 125 were offered admission and by the year 2000, 105 have graduated with Diploma in Computer Science. The quality of the training they received, together with the zeal expressed by the seed-students became additional impetus to pursue the introduction of Computer Science degree program. The societal demand for the program was becoming irresistible.

The duo of Dr. A. I. Kiri and Dr. A. B. Baffa worked on the final proposal of the Computer Science degree program which was approved by the Department and the ADC in 2000. The first set of Computer Science degree students was admitted in 2001 and program has, since then, continued to gain popularity and patronage. It has been growing from strength to strength. After 10 years of nurturing the CS program in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, and given the fact that the program has grown to the point of introduction of higher degrees and considering the need to expand it and introduce even more related degree programs, the CS unit under the leadership of Prof. MY Bello submitted a proposal for the creation of the Department of Computer Science. This was approved in 2011 and the new Department was temporarily accommodated in the Centre for Information Technology (CIT) building. It was eventually moved to a new building, which was constructed and donated by Gen T Y Danjuma to house not only the new Department of Computer Science, but also the proposed Faculty of Computer Science and Information Technology which As at 2019, the department has 7 full time tenure track professors, 6 associate professors, 10 full-time senior lecturers, 9 lecturer ones and tens of other cadre of lecturers and researchers. We have graduated over 2000 undergraduate degrees and over 200 Masters Degrees and numerous postgraduate diplomas.

2. Course Numbering

Each course offered in the Department of Computer Science is prefixed by

one of the letter-groups MTH, STA or CSC, SWE, CBS and ITC indicating

that it is Mathematics, Statistics, software engineering, cyber security,

information technology or Computer course, respectively. The first digit

indicates the level to which the course belongs: the second digit indicates the

credit value of the course; while the last two digits are for identification

purposes. In this handbook, the CSC courses have the third digit for

identification and the fourth digit indicating the semester in which the course

is taught.

3. Course Assessment

Each course is assessed by continuous assessment and an end- of-semester

examination. The continuous assessment normally accounts for 30-40%,

while the end-of-semester

Examination accounts for 60-70% of the overall marks for each course.

4. Regulations for the BSc Computer Science Program

The concurrent General Regulations of the University and the regulations

of the Faculty of Science apply. In addition, the following regulations also

apply for the B. Sc. (Computer Science) Program:

(a) Level I students are to take the 6 credits from Physics and 6 credits

from Mathematics.

(b) Every Level one student is to take the Level I General

Studies Program course (GSP 1201- Use of English) and GSP 1202

Use of Library, Study Skills and ICT offered by the General Studies

Unit, while Level two students are to take the two GSP courses open

to Science students (GSP 2206- Peace studies and Conflict Resolution,

and GSP 2205 – Philosophy and Logic).

(c) Unless the contrary is stated, all computer courses are core courses. All

GSP courses are also core courses.

(d) To get the B.Sc.(Computer Science) degree, a student must pass all core

courses.

(e) The summary of the minimum requirements is as follows:

Graduation Requirement

Students are required to complete a minimum of 120 units for Graduation, 60 of which must come from the student’s discipline.

Degree Classification:

Cumulative Grade Point

Average (CGPA) Class of Degree

4.50 – 5.00 3.50 – 4.49 2.40 – 3.49 1.50 – 2.39

1st Class Honours 2nd Class Honours (Upper Division) 2nd Class Honours (Lower Division) 3rd Class Honours

Grade Point Average and Cumulative Grade Point Average For the purpose of determining a student’s standing at the end of every semester, the Grade Point Average (GPA) system shall be used. The GPA is computed by dividing the product of the total number of Units x Grade Point (TUGP) by the total number of units (TNU) for all the courses taken (whether passed or failed) in the semester as illustrated in Table 1.3. The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) over a period of semesters is calculated in the same manner as the GPA by using the grade points of all the courses taken during the period.

Calculation of GPA or CGPA

Probation

Probation is a status granted to a student whose academic performance falls below an acceptable standard. A student whose Cumulative Grade Point

Average is below 1.50 at the end of a particular year of study, earns a period of probation for one academic session.

Withdrawals

A candidate whose Cumulative Grade Point Average is below 1.50 at the end of a particular period of probation should be required to withdraw from the University. However, in order to minimize waste of human resources, consideration should be given to withdrawal from program of study and possible transfer to other program within the same University.

Repeating Failed Course Unit(s)

Subject to the conditions for withdrawal and probation, student may be allowed to repeat the failed course Unit(s) at the next available opportunity, provided that the total number of credit units carried during that semester does not exceed 24, and the Grade Points earned at all attempts shall count towards the CGPA.

Course Credit System

This should be understood to mean a `quantitative system of organization of the curriculum in which subject areas are broken down into unit courses which are examinable and for which students earn credit(s) if passed’. The courses are arranged in. progressive order of difficulty or in levels of academic progress, e.g Level year 1 courses are100,101etc., and Level II or Year II Courses are 200, 202 etc. The second aspect of the system is that courses are assigned weights referred to as Credit Units.

Grade Point Average(GPA) and Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

Performance in any semester is reported in Grade Point Average. This is the average of weighted grade points earned in he courses taken during the semester. The Grade Point Average is obtained by multiplying the Grade Point Average in each course by the number of Credit Units assigned to that course, and then summing these up and dividing by the total number of Credit Units taken for the semester. This is the up-to-date mean of the Grade Points earned by the students in a program of study. It is an indication of the student’s overall performance at any point in the training program. To compute the Cumulative Grade Point Average, the total of Grade Points multiplied by the respective Credit Units for all the semesters are added and then divided by the total number of Credit Units for all courses registered by the student.

COURSE EVALUATION Techniques of Students Assessment

Students should be examined by a combination of the following methods:

(a) Un-announced Quizzes (b) Class Examinations (c) Home-Work Assignments (d) Mid-Semester and Final Semester Examinations.

The weights to be attached to these examinations should be determined by the University provided that the final semester examination carried not less than

50% of the total weighting.

The above methods can be carried out through any of the established techniques such as:

(i) Term Papers; (ii) Oral presentation at examinations; (iii) Seminars; (iv) Projects; (v) Written essay or objective examinations etc.

External Examiner System

External Examiners should be used only in the final year of the undergraduate programme to assess final year courses and projects, and to certify the overall performance of the graduating students as well as the quality of facilities and teaching. However, the existing practice of using External Examiners for major subject areas in professional programmes should be continued.

SIWES Rating and Assessment

All students taking any degree in the sciences must undergo a minimum of six months Industrial Training with a minimum of 6 credit units. Students should be assessed using the Log Book, a report and a Seminar.

Students Evaluation of Courses

Students shall be encouraged to evaluate all courses they have completed before the final assessment of the course using an approved University format.

Maintenance of Curricula Relevance

The following actions are recommended: (1) Review Benchmark statements every 5 years (2) Relevant authorities should carry out periodic visitations to the

programme (3) Universities should routinely request for feedback from employers of

their graduates

Performance Evaluation Criteria

(1) Periodic visitations to the programme by the relevant professional bodies and officials of the supervising government agencies.

(2) Periodic feedback mechanisms from employers and industrial training hosts.

(3) Evaluation of Academic staff performance by students through questionnaires.

Part D

Software Engineering

Introduction The discipline of Software Engineering focuses on producing graduates who are ready to develop and maintain quality software systems of scale for organizations and businesses within the constraints of time, budget and other requirements. In addition to its core computer science technical foundation, Software Engineering also involves human processes that are harder to formalize than the logical abstraction of computer science. The discipline therefore borrows and adapts from traditional engineering practice as well as from the field of project management. A focus of a Software Engineering specific curriculum must be able to develop students into software engineers through course work, practicals and applied project experience.

Philosophy Nigeria (and indeed sub-Saharan Africa) represents virgin territory for the software industry and the field in turn presents huge opportunities for the region within the context of an expanding global economy. It is well known that the software industry is the only one that wealth can be created from zero or near-zero capital – only intellectual capital is needed. There is therefore the need for Nigeria to grow its own crop of software engineers as a force for sustainable socio-economic development. The Philosophy and Mission Statement underlying the programmes in Software Engineering is aimed at achieving the goals and objectives of the National Policy on Industrialisation and Self-Reliance. This is to be achieved through: (i) Broad–based foundation in Science and Engineering and

Technology as well as specialized knowledge and practice in Software Engineering.

(ii) Practical exposure to application of Software Engineering

to problem solving.

(iii) Adequate training in human and organisational behaviour and management in the software development life-cycle.

(iv) Developing in the products entrepreneurial

knowledge, a sense of public responsibility and a spirit of self-reliance.

(v) Nurturing of partnership between the institution and the

software industry for effective programme delivery.

(vi) Creating an awareness and understanding of the moral,

ethical, legal, and professional obligations needed to function as part of the computing ecosystem while protecting human health and welfare and the environment in a global society.

(vii) Creating an awareness and understanding of the need to

develop leadership and team building skills to maximize the benefits of Software Engineering education and its application to solving problems

The general philosophy therefore is to produce graduates with high academic and ethical standards and adequate practical exposure for self-employment as well as being of immediate value to the software industry and the community in general.

Aims and Objectives

The general goal and objectives of Software Engineering education and training should be in consonance with the realisation of national needs and aspirations vis-à-vis industrial development and technological emancipation. The graduates must therefore be resourceful, creative, knowledgeable and able to perform the following functions:

(i) To appreciate the importance of computer science (as a base) in such areas as principles of programming, algorithm, data structures, databases and programming languages

(ii) To develop and utilize the practical skills acquired in software architecture and design, software metrics, verification and validation, requirements and analysis and the software engineering process for the production of software-based systems

(iii) To develop expertise in programming in a number of different languages with emphasis on the production of robust, reliable, cost-effective and secure codes that are based on sound design and development principles and adapted to the needs of a developing and emerging economy such as Nigeria in a technically professional manner

(iv) To be able to exercise original thought, have good professional judgment and be able to take responsibility for the execution of important tasks as programmers, system analysts, software developers, web developers, software consultants, system administrators, IT project managers, system engineers and entrepreneurs, etc.

(v) To be able to produce and manage high-quality software-based solutions with long life-cycles especially for large or complex systems

(vi) . To develop the understanding and engineering and

(d) Staff promotion Staff promotion follows the university promotion calendar. Every April of the year the HOD notifies all staff, in writing, that those that wish to apply for promotion to submit their updated CVs and papers before end of July. Submissions are made from the Departmental A&PC to the Faculty A&PC in early August. Central A&PC receives

recommendations from Faculties in August and September. All promotions take effect from October 01. Over the last three years, 17 staff were promoted to different ranks. They are: i. Dr. Abdulwahab Lawan – Associate

Professor ii. Dr. Bashir Galadanci - Associate

Professor iii. Dr. Kabir Umar – Lecturer I iv. Baffa Sani - Lecturer I v. Dr. Muhammad Hassan – Lecturer I

All staff are promoted as at when due.

45.2 Student’s Welfare

(a) Handling of academic grievances The staff-students relations committee of the Department is responsible for attending to, and handling of academic grievances. While the examinations malpractice and student disciplinary committee investigate cases of malpractices in the Department. It is pleasing to note that the Department of Computer Science is yet to record any major disciplinary case. The Department, through the students relations committee is working with NACOSS-BUK (the National Association of Computer Science Students) to ensure that accurate feedbacks are obtained from the students and

the necessary adjustments are made to respond to such feedbacks.

(b) Student academic advising The HOD is the Chief advisor of all students in the Department. For effectiveness and efficiency of advising and mentoring, the responsibility is devolved to Level Coordinators. Among the core responsibilities of level coordinators is to serve as mentors and academic advisors to the students in their levels. We have Six (6) level coordinators for levels 1, 2, 3, 4 Spill-over I and Spill-over II. The Faculty has provided reading rooms and NACOSS office to the students. Strengthens the awards of prizes to the best student at all undergraduate levels. Organizing orientation for newly admitted students. Organizing workshop for students

45.3 Examination

(a) Setting, conduct, evaluation schemes, moderation schemes-internal and external for degree examinations and the issuance of results. The coordination of examination is undertaken by the Examination Officer (together with the Assistant Examination Officer) under the supervision of the Chief Examiner. All examiners submit their question papers and marking schemes for moderation two weeks before the examination. A committee of three most senior members of the Department, under the HOD, moderates the question papers internally. Departmental house-keeping is done to put the papers in the standard format. All corrections and suggested modifications are sent back to the examiner for assent. The final drafts are taken to the external examiner for moderation. The externally moderated papers are administered. By regulation, staff must mark and submit

their results to the respective level coordinators within two (2) weeks of administering the examination. Level coordinators collate and process the results for submission to the Senate through the Departmental Board of Examiners and through the Faculty Board of Examiners. After Senate approval, results are pasted on the notice boards for all students to see and results slips are prepared by the coordinators, signed by the HOD and issued to all students. Copies of such result slips are kept in the individual students’ files. The department is also among the first to adopt the online result processing system (BUKRES) developed by the university available at https://mybuk.buk.edu.ng/bukres/index.php

Academic Atmosphere

(a) Any policy adopted and practiced by the College/School/Faculty/Department in pursuit of academic standards and maintenance of academic atmosphere As a response to the ballooning size of classes and the attendant implications to dissemination as well as performance, the Department pioneered the introduction of small group teaching in the university. We have split our lower level classes into many small groups to allow for the adaption of the interactive pedagogy. Depending on enrolment, our level 100 courses are split into Six (6) to Ten (10) groups with each group having between 20 to 30 students. Each group is taught separately by a different lecturer following the same curriculum and reference textbooks.

(b) Effectiveness of lecturers With the introduction of interactive pedagogy that has seen our lecturers teaching in smaller groups and using interactive teaching and learning tools, coupled with our introduction of group teaching which ensures that every course is being taught by a minimum of two lecturers, the effectiveness of the lecturers in the Department is very high. This is further strengthened by the zeal of our students, the availability of computing facilities in the Department and the creation of a very conducive environment for teaching and learning.

(c) Professional achievements. Most of the staff in the Department are members of

different learned societies and professional associations e.g ACM (and a number of SIGs), CPN, NCS etc.

A number have also obtained professional qualifications of CISCO, Microsoft, Oracle, COBIT etc.

Yet others have participated in a number of successful

projects both as consultants and as volunteers. For example myBUK Project, BUKRES , WAEC Portal, NECO Portal, JAMB CBT system, BBC London young learners project etc.
