ABSTRACT Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is beginning to be recognised as one of the major instructional components especially in science subjects. This study sought to investigate the status of ICT in the teaching and learning of physics in secondary schools. It investigated: perception of teachers and students towards the use of ICT; physics teachers’ ICT competence; access to computers by both teachers and learners; teaching experience; and management’s and technical sup...
CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION Background to the Study The world we live in today is very different from what it was centuries, and even a few decades ago. This transformation has been driven by rapid technological innovation. While the 19th century saw the rise of the Industrial Revolution, with steam-powered machines intensifying and expanding human productive power, the 20th century was characterized by the birth of machine-powered flight and the emergence of broadcasting and computer technologi...
ABSTRACT The purpose of the study was to find out the perception of the distance education students of Asanteman study center about the quality of support services received. The adopted descriptive survey design and 120 students were randomly selected for the study. A self-completion questionnaire was the main instrument used to collect data from the participants. A Cronbach alpha co-efficient of 0.71 was obtained for the instrument. Descriptive statistics such as frequencies, percentages and...

ABSTRACT The dynamic simulation is one of the key steps in the validation of the design process of the motor drive systems and it is needed for eliminating inadvertent design mistakes and the resulting error in the prototype construction and testing. A quality mathematical model of induction machine based on the dynamic equations and D-Q transformation technique is presented in rotor reference frame and a computer simulation of a 7.5kW three phase induction motor was carried out based on thi...
ABSTRACT Background: Preterm delivery which is delivery occurring less than 37 completed weeks of gestation is a major cause of neonatal mortality and childhood morbidity worldwide. Several factors influence the survival rate of premature babies making them vulnerable and prone to neonatal mortality. However, there is limited evidence on factors that contribute to mortality among preterm neonates in Ghana. The objective of this study was to determine factors influencing mortality among preter...
INTRODUCTION This research work is designed to study the impact of computer Application on the commercial banks in Nigeria.One of the technologies that have the greatest impact on our commercial banks now is the computer power with its attendant daily operations.The computer is designed to help the banks in many ways which include:Speedy servicesReduction of work load manually Helping banks detect fraudHelping banks to go on-line or to practice on-line bankingHelping the banks to retain th...

ABSTRACT A Printed Circuit Board (PCB) Mill is a device that etches out a pattern on a copper clad board such that it makes a PCB. PCBs are used everywhere in the field of electrical engineering to connect electrical components to one another. This research presents the design and implementation of low-cost mini PCB commuter numerical control machine based on microcontroller. A stepper motors were used to compile the movement of the three axes coordinates. Moreover, the generated Gerber file...
ABSTRACT In making a choice of solar Photovoltaic or diesel generator system as an alternative for power generation, life cycle costs (LCC) analysis are considered to be potentially important to such a decision. It incorporates all costs arising from owning, operating, maintaining and ultimately disposing of a project. In this study, a software computer program is developed to determine life cycle cost of solar Photovoltaic and diesel generator systems in Nigeria. The software is developed th...
The aim of this study is to investigate the nexus between financial inclusion, financial literacy and inclusive growth in Africa. The study uses a modified version of Sarma (2008) approach to compute an index of financial inclusion and inclusive growth. The system-generalized methods of moments is employed to analyze the link between financial inclusion and inclusive growth. Ordinary Least Squares with robust standard errors is employed to investigate the link between financial literacy ...
ABSTRACT Every year, new technology is found in which computers is one of them, computers take part in solution of business problems, initially, they were seen as capable of performing calculation, which would be impossible, which came the commercial break through were faster method of input, and output are more developed and it was realized that much clerical, budget could be removed by using a machine to perform routine task. Computer is used in different areas, including the modern shops....

Abstract This study centers on the problems militating against effective teaching and learning of computer science in Junior Secondary School in Oji –River Local Government Area of Enugu State. In carrying out the research above, data were collected through self made questionnaires. The simple percentage analysis method was used to analyze the responses elicited from respondents. And meaningful conclusion was drawn from there. It was discovered that factors such as lack of quali...
ABSTRACT This research was carried out to assess the availability of teacher and laboratory facilities in computer science in junior secondary school in Enugu North. Teachers from each of the selected schools in Enugu north local government area were randomly exampled. Three research questions were formulated to find out the availability of teaching and learning of computer science. After through review of relevant literature, structured questionnaire was used to collect valid and relevant d...
