The study was aimed at improving the curriculum content of electrical/electronics engineering of polytechnics in North-East Nigeria for a technology driven curriculum. The purpose of the study was to determine the types of microcontrollers and general content of microcontrollers relevant for inclusion into the electrical/electronics engineering curriculum of polytechnics in North-East Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population of the study was 109, which comprised 60 lecturers and 49 industry supervisors. The entire population was used for the study, hence, no sampling was employed. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire titled: Questionnaire for Improving Curriculum Content of Electrical/Electronics Engineering (QICCEEE) developed by the researchers. The instrument was validated by three experts and a reliability of 0.87 was obtained using Cronbach Alpha method. Mean and t-test were used to answer the two research questions and the null hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed that STMicroelectronics Microcontrollers, Renesas Microcontrollers, NXP Microcontrollers, ON Semiconductor Microcontrollers, Motorola Microcontrollers, and Panasonic Microcontrollers are some of the major types of microcontroller relevant for inclusion into the electrical/electronics engineering curriculum; Seven clusters of Processor Core, Memory, Digital Input/output, Interrupts, Timer, Communication Interface, and Hardware are the general contents of microcontrollers relevant for inclusion into the electrical/electronics engineering curriculum. The study recommended among others that government should train electrical/electronics engineering lecturers of polytechnics in North-East Nigeria in the area of the newly identified curriculum contents.

Today, information technology is strategically important to the goals and aspirations of the business enterprises, government and high-level education institutions – university. Universities are facing new challenges with the emerging global economy characterized by the importance of providing faster communication services and improving the productivity and effectiveness of individuals. New challenges such as provides an information network that supports the demands and diversification of university issues. A new network architecture, which is a set of design principles for build a network, is one of the pillar bases. It is the cornerstone that enables the university's faculty, researchers, students, administrators, and staff to discover, learn, reach out, and serve society. This thesis focuses on the network architecture definitions and fundamental components. Three most important characteristics of high-quality architecture are that: it's open network architecture; it's service-oriented characteristics and is an IP network based on packets. There are four important components in the architecture, which are: Services and Network Management, Network Control, Core Switching and Edge Access. The theoretical contribution of this study is a reference model Architecture of University Campus Network that can be followed or adapted to build a robust yet flexible network that respond next generation requirements. The results found are relevant to provide an important complete reference guide to the process of building campus network which nowadays play a very important role. Respectively, the research gives university networks a structured modular model that is reliable, robust and can easily grow.

Recently, wireless network technologies were designed for most of the applications. Congestion raised in the wireless network degrades the performance and reduces the throughput. Congestion-free network is quit essen- tial in the transport layer to prevent performance degradation in a wireless network. Game theory is a branch of applied mathematics and applied sciences that used in wireless network, political science, biology, computer science, philosophy and economics. e great challenges of wireless network are their congestion by various factors. E ective congestion-free alternate path routing is pretty essential to increase network performance. Stackelberg game theory model is currently employed as an e ective tool to design and formulate conges- tion issues in wireless networks. is work uses a Stackelberg game to design alternate path model to avoid congestion. In this game, leaders and followers are selected to select an alternate routing path. e correlated equilibrium is used in Stackelberg game for making better decision between non-cooperation and cooperation. Congestion was continuously monitored to increase the throughput in the network. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme could extensively improve the network performance by reducing congestion with the help of Stackelberg game and thereby enhance throughput.
