GUIDELINES FOR TEXT BOOK WRITERS
The following guidelines are suggestions from the Engineering Committees to the writers of the textbooks for
the new curricula. They are intended to supplement the detailed syllabuses which have been produced, and
which define the content and level of the courses.
Authors should bear in minds that the curriculum has been designed to give the students a broad
understanding of applications in industry and commerce, and this is reflected in the curriculum objectives.
One book should be produced for each syllabus

Page size should be A4
The front size should be 12 point for normal text and 14 point where emphasis is need
Line spacing should be set to 1.5 lines
Headings and subheadings should be emboldened
Photographs, diagrams and charts should used extensively thought the book, and these
items must be up-to-date
In all cases the material must be related to industry and commerce, using real life
examples wherever possible so that the book is just a theory book. It must help the students
to see the subject in the content of the 'real word"
The philosophy of the courses is one of an integrated approach to theory and practice, and
as such the books should reflect this by not making and artificial divided between theory and
practice.
Illustrations should labeled and numbered.
Examples should drawn from Nigeria wherever possible, so that the information is set in a
country context.
Each chapter should end with student self-assessment quotations (SAG) so that student
can check their own master of the subject.
Accurate instructions should be given for any practical work having first conducted the
practical to check that the instructions do indeed work
The books must have a proper index or table of contents, a list of references and an
introduction based on the overall course philosophy and aims of the syllabus.
Symbols and units must be listed and a unified approach used throughout the book
In case of queries regarding the contents of the books and the depth of information, the
author must contact the relevant curriculum committee via the National Board for technical
Education.
The final draft version of the books should be submitted to Nigerian members of the
curriculum working groups for their comments regarding the content in relation to the desired
syllabus.
