The selection of process parameter for obtaining an optimal hardness properties in the heat treatment of A356 aluminium alloy has been done in this study. The samples were produced via chill casting method and machined into standard hardness test samples. The hardness was evaluated by an FIE Vickers hardness tester of MV1-PC model in accordance wit...

The use of Taguchi optimization process in conditioning the heat treatment of A356 aluminium alloy was done in this study. The alloy was chill cast and solution heat treated. The rice husk/ash was analyzed before and after ashing using textural analysis (BET), X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and X-ray diffractometry analysis respectively. The hea...

Students’ perception of their learning environment is a crucial factor in improving quality of learning. Several researches revealed that students’ perception of the learning environment has a significant impact on the students’ academic performance and attitude. This study investigated relationships between students’ perception of automobile techn...

This This paper aimed to determine the effect of Computer Assisted Instruction (CAI) on automobile technology education students' academic performance and attitude in tertiary institutions of Nigeria. The design of this study was nonequivalent group, pre-test/post-test quasiexperimental design. The geographical area of the study was north-eastern r...

Researches confirmed that a strong correlation exists between students’ perceptions of psychosocial learning environment and their outcomes. Most of these researches were carried out in science education and just very few were conducted in the area of automobile technology, especially in tertiary institutions. This paper investigates students’ perc...

A new binder system has been developed which is based on manihot esculenta and cement. The new binder system is expected to be an alternative to Urea formaldehyde furfuryl alcohol binder system commonly used in the foundry for core making; it is a cold setting binder system. The cost factor is one of the reasons for the development of this new bind...
