 Foreword

The Higher National Diploma (HND) Artificial Intelligence Curriculum is designed to be used by training
institutions to produce manpower to boost the practice of Artificial Intelligence in Nigeria.
Given that Artificial Intelligence is an emerging area in Nigeria, there is acute shortage of professionally-
trained manpower in this sector. There is therefore the need to produce professional practitioners with good
ethics and prospects for career progression, through the acquisition of desirable knowledge and skills. This
necessitated the production of this National Curriculum.
It is my belief that this curriculum and course specifications, which is the minimum required to produce
technologists with sound knowledge and skills in Artificial Intelligence, if properly implemented with the
required resources along with qualified candidates being admitted into the programme, will lead to the
production of competent and skilled technologists who will anchor the Design and Deployment of Artificial
Intelligence Models for enhanced foreign exchange earnings.
I sincerely appreciate all those who made the development of this Curriculum possible. The invaluable
contributions of all the members of the committee and resource persons during the pre-critique and National
critique workshops are appreciated.
I hope that the Curriculum would be properly implemented so as to produce the required Work Force of our dream.

Prof. Idris M. Bugaje

Executive Secretary,
NBTE, Kaduna

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 TITLE OF THE PROGRAMME:

Higher National Diploma Artificial Intelligence (AI)

2.0 GOAL AND OBJECTIVES:

2.1 GOAL: To enable students to create technology that allows computers and machines to work independently and intelligently.

2.2 OBJECTIVES OF THE PROGRAMME

A diplomate of HND Artificial Intelligence (AI) should be able to:
i. Partake in AI project planning and solution design
ii. Develop a system that process natural language
iii. Develop algorithms for solving different problems
iv. Innovate solutions to societal problems
v. Apply AI techniques to solve complex problems across various industries
vi. Implement algorithms that generate intelligent behavior on a Robot
vii. Use appropriate methods to describe and analyse the performance of algorithms and system components
viii. Create synergy between AI and Humans
ix. Set up and manage a business.

3.0 ENTRY REQUIREMENTS

The general entry requirements for the HND Artificial Intelligence (AI) Programme are:
(a) In addition to the entry requirement for National Diploma.
(b) ND Computer Science or Nigerian Skills Qualification (NSQ) levels 3-5
(C) One (1) year relevant industrial training

6
(d) ND diplomats with a pass (CGPA of 2.0-2.49) in the ND examination with two or more years of cognate experience in the specific field may
be considered.

4.0 CURRICULLUM
4.1 The curriculum of the HND programme consists of four main components. These are:
I. General studies/education
II. Foundation courses
III. Professional courses

4.2 The General Education component shall include courses in

English Language
Communication
Mathematics
Citizenship (the Nigerian Constitution),
Entrepreneurship

4.3 The General Education component shall account for not more than 15% of total contact hours for the programme.
4.4 Foundation Courses include courses in Mathematics, and Statistics etc. The number of hours will vary with the programmes and
may account for about 10 –15% of the total contact hours.
4.5 Professional Courses are courses, which give the student the theory and practical skills he needs to practice his field of calling at the
technical/technologists level.

5.0 STRUCTURE OF PROGRAMME

This is a two-year Programme i.e. four semesters of classroom, laboratory, field and workshop activities in the institution. Each semester shall be
of 17 weeks duration made up as follows: 15 Contact weeks of teaching, i.e. recitation, practical exercises, quiz, tests, etc and 2 weeks for
examination and registration.

6.0 EVALUATION SCHEME

The HND AI Examination must be externally moderated. In grading the students, theory shall constitute 40% while practical and project are
60% respectively.

7
7.0 ACCREDITATION

9.0 QUALIFICATION OF TEACHERS:

9.1 Holders of B.Sc/HND qualifications in Computer Science related disciplines.
9.2 In addition, teachers of this programme should have been trained and certified by recognized industrial bodies in AI or posseses higher
degree or its equivalent in AI related discipline.

10.0 GUIDANCE NOTES FOR TEACHERS OF THE PROGRAMME

10.1 The new curriculum is drawn in unit courses. This is in keeping with the provisions of the National Policy on Education which stresses
the need to introduce the semester credit units which will enable a student who so wish to transfer the units already completed in an institution of
similar standard from which he is transferring.

10.2 As the success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of programmes between the institutions and industry, the curriculum
content has been written in behavioral objectives, so that it is clear to all the expected performance of the student who successfully completed
some of the courses or the diplomats of the programme. There is a slight departure in the presentation of the performance-based curriculum
which requires the conditions under which the performance is expected to be carried out and the criteria for the acceptable levels of performance.
It is a deliberate attempt to further involve the staff of the department teaching the programme to write their own curriculum stating the
conditions existing in their institution under which the performance can take place and to follow that with the criteria for determining an
acceptable level of performance.

10.3 The Academic Board of the institution may vet departmental submission on the final curriculum. Our aim is to continue to see to it that a
solid internal evaluation system exists in each institution for ensuring minimum standard and quality of education in the programmes offered
throughout the Technical and Vocational Education (TVE) system. The teaching of the theory and practical work should, as much as possible, be

9
integrated. Practical exercises, especially those in professional courses and laboratory work should not be taught in isolation from the theory. For
each course, there should be a balance of theory to practical in the ratio of 30:70.
