TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODOLOGIES IN ENGINEERING EDUCATION IN NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES

Abstract

The students’ outcome in terms of quality of graduates as regard teaching and learning determines whether the existing methods should be reviewed or not. In the recent world ranking of Universities, only University of Ibadan came among the first hundred despite the number of Universities in Nigeria. This calls for general repositioning of the education sector in Nigeria. This paper examines the teaching and learning of engineering in Nigerian Universities and suggests ways of improving engineering education in Nigerian Universities. Keywords: Engineering Education, students’ outcome, Tertiary Education and Learning and Teaching methodology
