University of Ilorin has started COBES (Community Based Experience Scheme) since 1977, it started from college of medicine to engineering and technology, communication and information science to faculty of science. It is student-centred because the students are encouraged and stimulated to be actively involved in their own learning process rather than be passive recipients of information. The students, working with supervisors tried to work out solutions to problems encountered at the community by formulation of hypothesis. Thus it is a problem-solving programme. The curriculum is oriented to studying medicine in the community using the community as a teaching laboratory and learning environment for studying medicine, science and engineering (community-based ). The curriculum thus has three pillars: student centered, community based, and problem solving. The working principle of the COBES programme is to create awareness in students to formulate hypothesis, collect, analyze and interpret data, suggest solutions and to evaluate methods thereby ultimately providing services to the community. It is mandatory for all 500level to actively participate in the program, students are divided into groups and sent to various communities accross Kwara state to render all kinds of technical services to the community that will benefit the occupants of such community. All groups must have atleast one students from each of engineering department so as to render technical services to the group with respect to his or her department when the need arises. I am a mechanical engineering student assigned to Idofian community in Ifelodun local government, Kwara state. We have taken our time to identify common problems in the community and sat to delibrate on long lasting solutions to each of the problems and wrote proposal to the university to seek financial grants in other to execute most of the probems. This program lasted for two weeks and the following are what we 've been able to acheive in just two weeks; (1). Rehabilitation of one and only community bus-stop, this will enable passangers to relax and stay under shade while waiting for next available bus. (2). Most drainages that poses serious threats to roads and residential buildings has been cleared and are properly channeled. (3). We are enbarked on massive water purification and replacement of damaged taps. (4). Major wells were treated to make it safe for domestic consumption and most of the damaged taps were replaced with new taps. (5). Installation of gate arround electric power transformer. We are bent on restoring all the road signs, repainting Zebra crossing, covering all uncovered wells in the community and installing new signs as the need arises. (6). We painted Oludofian palace for free to give it a new look. Also, resuscitating major street lights accross the community, going to various school for career-talks and giving technical advise to the occupants as regards how to maintain the existing amenities, the restored and rehabilitated ones. I urge all other students that were posted to other communities to attest to this by uploading pictures of community projects that they were able to execute during the program. Finally, this is one of many ways in which BETTER BY FAR university is contributing to our society, we take the lead in society and human development oriented projects while others follows. 1 Like 1 Share
