they attain higher responsibility and greater technical accountability.

All graduates are prepared towards obtaining membership of relevant professional bodies, acquiring
relevant certifications or to advance their knowledge in graduate schools.

All graduates are furnished with necessary tools to function effectively in entrepreneur’s initiatives,
civil service, industrial or commercial activities.

All graduates are supplied with technical and leadership skill meant to cause them to make informed
contributions to technological issues in a globalized environment, be part of the future world changers
and innovators that will re-open new frontiers for human advancement.

The objectives are in consonance with the mission statement of the University as underlined in the
above Section B – Program Educational Objectives. Objectives ‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’ and ‘d’ are clearly mapped
out from the mission and shows the depth at meeting the aspirations of the Board of Regent for the
program.

The Mechanical Engineering Program constituencies/stakeholders include industry, academia

(graduate research programs), the national laboratories, state and federal agencies, regulatory
agencies (COREN, NUC), Nigerian Institution of Mechanical Engineering, faculty members,
students, alumni and employers. These constituencies have their own needs that are addressed by the
Program Educational Objectives.

In order to have first-hand information on the impact of the Mechanical Engineering programme on
our alumni towards achieving the twelve student outcomes that are mapped to the program
educational objectives, the following are the significant constituencies:

Faculty: faculty members are directly involved in the implementation of the student outcomes and
assessment processes of the analysis and review of the objectives and outcomes.

9
Alumni: this group of stakeholders look forward to the continued quality and reputation of the
programme as it in-turn shows the quality of the education acquired. The alumni most have been
employed for 3-5 years and recent graduate of the programme. They have the experience on both
sides of the wall to assess the PEOs and SOs.

Graduate/Alumni Employers: the positive assessment of the program by employers translates into
opportunities for graduates of the program.

Advisory Board: this group is made up of representative of the industry, employers of our graduates,
alumni, faculty and current students.

COREN: An important stakeholder is the national regulatory agency called COREN which stand for
the Council for the Regulation of Engineering in Nigeria. This body accredits universities in Nigeria
to run programmes in Nigeria. The Benchmark for Minimum Academic Standard (BMAS) must be
met as a standard has been set to meet the Washington Accord. The requirement for the program
educational objectives (PEO) for engineering programmes was embedded into the Benchmark for
Minimum Academic Standard (BMAS) of the regulatory agency for engineering education in the
year 2017 and subsequently the College of Engineering at Covenant University formulated hers and
was approved by the University Senate. In existence prior to 2017, employer assessment was
conducted once for a maximum period of 5 years. Focus from henceforth is to conduct survey of
graduates/alumni and graduate/alumni -employer. A follow-up shall consist of discussion of a Faculty
Committee or faculty members of the assessment criteria and results with the advisory board of the
Department on an annual basis. For the first 5 years, the survey shall be annually and later every 3
years for consistent follow-up

Graduate/Alumni Follow-up Survey

This provides a means of alumni accessing how well the programme has prepared them for the
industry based on the PEO’s and Student Outcomes. In detail, their status in the industry o company
shall be established, including general personal and employer information and assessing the relevance
and required update of the PEO’s towards their professional development. A survey shall be prepared
to meet this requirement.

Graduate/Alumni – Employer Follow-up Survey

The survey is essentially similar in attributes to the Graduate Follow-up Survey. Its focuses on the
activities of the graduate meeting the PEO’s and Student Outcomes in an objective and unbiased
manner as compared to the graduate survey.

Advisory Board Review

The meeting for deliberations and feedback of the survey is on an annual basis. Members of the board
shall consist of individuals in various companies in the oil and gas industry that covers all the Civil
Engineering disciplines of drilling, production and reservoir engineering, and reservoir

10
characterization as well as professionals in emerging technologies application. Other members shall
be alumni of the programme.

The frequency of the survey, assessment, and review of the PEO shall be according to the Table 2.1.
Table 2.1: PEO review schedule
Frequency
Input
First 5 years After 5 years
Advisory Board (Industry and Alumni) Annually Annually
Alumni Survey Annually 3 years
Employer Survey Annually 3 years

For now, there is no data for review. In the next 3-5 years there shall be sufficient data for marked
changes in the PEO. The review shall be made-up of a team of faculty members in a yet to be
determined name to evaluate and implement the curriculum update recommended by the advisory
board. Feed-back on the PEO’s and Outcomes from the assessment of employer and graduate survey
shall be analyzed for improvement and further review. Review of data entails assessment of collated
data, interpretation and implementing the required change.
