Abstract

Mentorship can be provided in form of counseling, role model, as well as career support to a less experienced person. Mentoring differs in one circumstance to the other. It is interpreted in different ways by different individuals. The tenacity of this study is how mentoring technique can be used tactically to accomplish employability skills development. The study adopted descriptive survey with a structured questionnaire which was administered to sample size of 153 which comprises of 78 technical college teachers and 75 professionals in the industries. The data for the study was analyzed according to the formulated for the study with the aid of Statistics Package for Social Science (SPSS). Mean score and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions. The study revealed that mentoring in ITP promotes employability skills developments of technical and vocational education (TVE) students in the field of mechanical technology. The study also revealed that some factors are militating against the effectiveness of mentoring and employability skills development during industrial training programme of TVE. Based on the findings, the study concludes with certain recommendations. The mandate for the development of workforce employability skills has been on the increase in the world over.  To gain access to the world of work is enormously depending upon having employability skills required by the industries. The acquisition of employability skills can be better activated when the recipients are still in the training institutions. Finally, the study presents mentoring from the perspectives of students’ industrial training programme (ITP) as a strategic approach to foster employability among mechanical technology students.

Abstract

Several fields today are mainly dependent on cooperation among the different parties, and the education system one of these fields. Many agreements between local laboratories and local and international companies must be agreed. These agreements will be an initial stage in building corporation among the industrial community. However, these agreements should not remain on paper, and such partnership agreements should promote economic growth, social justice, protection of the environment and universal responsibilities during solving logistic and industry issues. Where in a country like Iraq which suffering from lack of job opportunities and the weakness of laboratories that lead to delay the education process. However, the partnership could include practical and scientific studies and then applying the research results in solving the real industry issues. This paper will discuss the effect of industrial partnership with the importance of engineering education and expectations for the accomplishment of new strategies and scenarios in the developing countries.

Abstract

This field study aimed to examine satisfaction and expectation of managers of energy service companies and related official entities of fresh engineers’ basic knowledge and skills in fields of energy management and renewable energy technologies. The existing gaps between what is demanded in the market and engineering graduates’ skills are explored through measuring relevant required skills from managers’ point of view as well as their general satisfaction about performance and basic knowledge in related engineering fields. To achieve these goals a structured questionnaire was distributed to specialized private companies working in the installation of renewable energy systems and energy services. It was also forwarded to concerned governmental agencies and active NGOs promoting energy efficiency and environmental protection, followed by face-to-face interviews with selected experienced and specialized engineers to cross check and make sure that weaknesses and gaps in knowledge and skills required to enter the market are addressed. Statistical analysis was conducted to determine the level of satisfaction and readiness of fresh engineers to join energy companies and areas that graduates need to be improved. Results suggested that managers are not fully happy and satisfied with levels of basic engineering understanding and technical skills among newly graduated engineers from universities in Jordan. Equally important is that managers do not feel that graduates are ready to enter the market and start practical life. Main gaps identified by managers are lack of understanding of relevant engineering sciences, relatively poor technical communication skills and nearly absence of financial and managerial basics. Thus, all parties involved in engineering education, in the country, should make necessary reform in the study plans and curricula to meet the market demands.

Abstract

This research study is focused on effects of Practical Instructional Guide (PIG) and Teaching Naked Technique (TNT) on students’ achievement, interest and retention in electronics engineering technology in Polytechnics in Rivers State. Two research questions and hypotheses each were formulated to guide the study which was answered using means and standard deviation while the hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. The study adopted quasi-experimental research design where the researcher randomly assigned intact classes to groups. The population for the study is 232 Electronics Engineering Technology students in the Polytechnics comprising ND II students of 2019/2020 academic session from two State owned Polytechnics in Rivers State namely: Captain Elechi Amadi Polytechnic, Rumuola in Obi-Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State with 122 students and Ken Saro Wiwa Polytechnic, Bori in Bori Local Government Area with 110 students. There was no sampling because the population can be managed by the researcher. The instruments for data collection were TNT and PIG lesson plans, Achievement Test (PIG & TNT) of 20 objective test questions, developed practical assessment guide of 35 items and an interest inventory of 20 questions. These instruments were content and face validated by three experts from the Department of Industrial Technical Education (Electronic Technology option), University of Nigeria, Nsukka. The reliability of the instrument was tested using cronbach alpha which has an overall value of 0.79, an mean and standard deviation were used to answer research questions and ANOVA was used to test the formulated hypothesis by applying IBM SPSS version 20. The results of this research support the propositions of instructional theories in the application of two practical instructional techniques with the selection of an appropriate delivery medium of instruction promotes learning. Hence, it was suggested that polytechnic lecturers should be encouraged to employ Practical Instructional Guide (PIG) and Teaching Naked Technique (TNT) Instructional techniques in delivering their lessons, since it enhances academic achievement, interest and retention of students.

Abstract

The process of learning to use smartphones is now highly promoted. Almost everyone has a smartphone. The latest trend in learning is known as Mobile Learning (M-Learning). M-Learning can be used anywhere and anytime. Thus, we propose the use of the M-Learning application for computer system subjects in the basic logic gate topics so that students can be motivated to learn. We call this application BLG-LeMed. The focus of this research is on the process of using BLG-LeMed applications on classroom learning that is used directly by vocational high school students, then testing with alpha testing, User Acceptance Tests (UAT), usability evaluations, and knowing the effect of motivating students to use five dimensions of motivation and student learning outcomes. The development model used is Extreme Programming (XP). The design used in this study, by conducting trials in one class and observing students using the BLG-LeMed application as learning media, 38 students consisted of 26 men and 12 women involved in this study, with a duration of 135 minutes at one time of the meeting. We conclude that using the BLG-LeMed application based on M-Learning in the learning process of this basic logic gate, strongly supported by the testing team, can be accepted by users, has a usefulness as a interactive learning media, can have an effect in motivating students to learn, and provide results very satisfying learning.

Abstract

Water is the main need for humans, so the quality and quantity must be maintained. The purpose of this research is to analyze the problems in Joho Village in the form of cloudy water so that the community feels disturbed. In this study, the water quality test was carried out using the Indonesian National Standard and with a random sampling technique. Samples were taken from 3 points in residents' houses and 2 points in public facilities, namely in parks and places of worship. Data analysis was carried out by descriptive quantitative. There is one sample that does not meet the quality standard for odor parameters, namely at the observation point in the park. However, for the turbidity parameter, all samples showed that none met the quality standards, namely 116, 48, 100, 136, 130 NTU. The solution that can be done by residents of Joho Village is to do pavement and closure in the area around the shallow well and perform simple filtration consisting of Zeolite (10 - 30 mm), Zeolite (5 - 10 mm), Silica sand (4 - 30 mesh), Activated Carbon, and Sponge.

Abstract

Mathematics is of fundamental importance to any natural sciences program (because it provides analytical and approximate results that can be simulated and modeled) and perhaps to other areas of human knowledge. Ordinary differential equations (ODEs) are especially of fundamental importance to engineering programs because the modeling of all phenomena of interest for these programs involves ODE solutions; at the same time, students experience difficulties when learning ODEs and about their applications to real physical scenarios. In this study, the problem-based learning method was used to study a group of mechanical engineering students at theSENAICIMATECUniversityCenter. The study analyzes the effectiveness of ODE instruction given through this program using the specified methodology. To consolidate the study, Conceptual Field Theory is used together with an evaluation of the results to observe student behaviors and attitudes in relation to actions arising from the method. At the end of the study, a questionnaire was completed by the students, with which they evaluated the effectiveness of the teaching methodology employed.

Abstract

The intent of this article is to analyze the Diraction phenomena of the incoming waveand provide a new Approach for analyzing the frequency selective surface (Fss) by usinga hybrid method combining Moment Method (MoM), optical physics (PO) with Generaltheory of Diraction (GTD). the frequency selective surface (Fss) is a periodic surfacewith identical two-dimensional arrays of elements arranged on a substrate dielectric. Anincoming plane wave will either be transmitted (bandwidth) or re ected (stopband),completely or partially, depending on the nature of the array element. This happenswhen the frequency of the electromagnetic (EM) wave correspond with the resonantfrequency of the FSS elements. Hence, in free space, and for a certain frequency range,an FSS is capable of transmitting or blocking EM waves; therefore, identied as spa-tial lters. Today, FSSs have been extensively studied and there is tremendous growthin its design and implementation for dierent applications at the microwave to opticalfrequency ranges. In this review article, we present a new hybrid method form on Mo-ment method and GTD for analyzing dierent categories of FSS based on the design ofthe structure, the array elements used, and applications. We also focus on the eectsof diraction, methodology, experimental verications of design examples, as well ason prospects and challenges, particularly in the microwave regime. We highlight theirimportant performance metrics, especially with regard to progress in this area couldfacilitate advanced electromagnetic innovation.
