School Of Science

The study of Science at the IMIT will provide you with a deep understanding of the world around you and equip you with the skills to help society grasp the opportunities and solve the problems of the 21st Century. The knowledge and competencies you acquire with an ND/HND from the School of Science, IMIT, will present you with a wide array of career opportunities upon graduation in the field of Science Laboratory Technology, Statistics, Computer Science & Mass Communication.

DEPARTMENT OF STATISTICS

Statistics is a discipline that has become veritable tools in the hands of Scientists, Engineers and others. It is a science which deals with development and application of efficient methods of data collection, organization, analysis, presentation and interpretation, with a view to making appropriate inference about a population based on information from a sample. It has something to offer every fields of study across the Globe. Statistics as a planning and decision science has solutions to world challenges of uncertainties.

Programme Objectives

The IMIT Department of Statistics aims to:
1. provide relevant, timely and comparable labour statistics,
2. Develop international standards for better measurement of labour issues and enhanced international comparability, and
3. Help member States develop and improve their labour statistics.

To achieve these goals, the Department focuses on three major activities:
1. Compiling and producing labour statistics, which are disseminated through IMITSTAT.
2. Setting international standards for labour statistics through the International Conference of Labour Statisticians (ICLS).
3. Providing technical cooperation, assistance and training in labour statistics.

Our philosophy are
1. To employ the principles of best practices in academic works and research activities for which centre of excellence across the world are known and which the Ihechukwu Madubuike Institute of Technology aspires to be one.
2. To give excellent instruction to students in Statistics.
3. Contribute to the extension of the frontiers of knowledge in Statistics through world class research activities.

DEPARTMENT OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

Department of Computer Science has been offering courses, for the award of a OND/HND Degree in Computer Science even though some subject areas were recognized. Such areas include Artificial Intelligence, Computer Network, Management Information System and Software Engineering, among others. The Department was conceived as a means of developing manpower to meet the demand for increased computerization nationwide. The Department have been designed to equip students with theoretical and practical skills for a variety of entrepreneurial careers in the Computing, Software Development, Information Technology, Management Information systems, Computer Networking and related disciplines.

Programme Objectives

The OND/HND programme is designed to instill in students, sound and critical understanding of the concepts and methodologies in Computer Science that meet current and anticipated needs of the society in these subject areas. Training is geared towards subject specific knowledge complemented with the acquisition of skills and field experiences that adequately prepare the graduate for self-employment, work in relevant government organizations and/or in the private sector as well. The training covered by the programme includes but is not restricted to the basics of ICT communication and people skills; emphasis on problem solving modules leading to acquisition of entrepreneurial skills relevant to the 21st century graduate, industry and society. At the end, the graduate is fully equipped for graduate work as well as being competent to apply basic scientific logic in the management of human and other natural resources in a sustainable manner.

The main objectives are:
1. To create in students the awareness and enthusiasm for Computer Science and its capabilities in our information age.
2. To involve the students in an intellectually stimulating and satisfying experience of learning and studying.
3. To provide a broad and balanced foundation in Computer Science knowledge and practical skills.
4. To develop in students through an education in Computer Science a range of transferable applicable skills of information technology in all aspects of human endeavor.
5. To generate in students an appreciation of the importance of Computer Science in an industrial, economic, technological and social context.
6. To provide students with knowledge and skills base for further studies in computer science or multi–disciplinary studies involving Computer Science and Information Technology.

DEPARTMENT OF SCIENCE LABORATORY TECHNOLOGY

In a scientific investigation, there is an attitude that demands of one to explore his environment or the unknown, develop the relevant hypothesis in order to establish its acceptability or otherwise. This type of investigation can only be carried out in a laboratory. The science Laboratory is a setting or place to try out specific scientific information and test principles and theories in science. It is thus a place or room where scientific experiments are carried out. It is appropriately equipped with various items that are required in the urge to provide answers to intriguing questions in science.
