Strategies for enhancing utilization of computer numeric control (CNC) machines for effective implementation of industrial technical education programme in universities
Abstract
The study examined the Strategies for Enhancing Utilization of Computer Numeric Control (CNC) machines for Effective Implementation of Industrial Technical Education Programmes in Public Universities of Enugu state Nigeria. Three research questions and three hypotheses guided the study. Descriptive survey design was used. The population of the study was 68 (ITE) educators which comprises of 35 lecturers and 33 instructors from public university in Enugu State. There was no sampling since the population was manageable. The instrument used for data collection was a structured questionnaire validated by three experts. Cronbach Alpha reliability was used and an overall reliability coefficient of .82 was obtained. The data was collected by the researchers. Out of 68 copies of the questionnaire administered, 60 copies were retrieved giving 88% return rate. Data generated were analysed using mean, standard deviation and t-test. The study found out among other things that Enhancement of the Utilization of Computer Numeric Control (CNC) will bring about Effective Implementation of Industrial Technical Education Programme in Universities. The paper recommended among other things that (ITE) stakeholders should collectively join hands in providing in-service training for (ITE) educators for effectual utilization of (CNC) machines and implementation of ITE programmes in universities.
