This study investigated the influence of emotional intelligence ability level of electrical/electronic technology university students on academic motivation and attitude to study. The study was conducted at one conventional university and one university of technology. The data for study were obtained through the use of a questionnaire which elicited information on the students’ emotional intelligence ability level, level of academic motivation and students’ attitude to study. The data were analyzed using mean, standard deviation, Cohen's d and single and multiple regression analysis. Meanwhile, hypotheses were tested using T-test and analysis of variance. The results of the study revealed that the student in conventional university and one university of technology has high level of emotional intelligence, academic motivation and favourable attitude to study. The effect size of students, with regard to their emotional intelligence ability level in two universities is weak. The emotional intelligence investigated was found to be significantly and positively associated with the respondents’ level of academic motivation and students’ attitude to study.

This study determined the behavioral skill outcome of technical education students engaged in cooperative learning. Specifically, the study sought to identify the effects of cooperative learning on technical education student’s communication skill, problemsolving skill and critical thinking skill. There were three research questions posed, and the analysis was driven by three null hypotheses tested at (P<.05) level of significance. It has adopted a quasi-experimental design for the study and intact classes were assigned to treatment groups. The study's population was 41 students of Technical Education (TE), consisting of 41 year 3 students of Industrial Technical Education at the University of Nigeria, Nsukka, which was the treatment group allocated to the teaching method of cooperative learning. The instrument used for data collection was the self-assessment inventory of communication skills (CSSAI), the inventory of problem-solving skills (PSSI), and the California Critical Thinking Skills Test (CCTST). Three technical education experts had subjected the instruments to face and content validation. Mean and standard deviation were used to answer the study questions while Paired-sample t-test was used to answer the null hypotheses. Findings showed, among others, that there is a significant difference between the pretest and posttest mean scores taught by Automobile Lighting System students who use cooperative learning in terms of behavioral skill outcome. Among others, it was proposed that technical education teachers be encouraged to use the cooperative learning method in teaching automotive lightening program.

The study aimed at the Ergonomic analysis of work-related musculoskeletal risks associated with electrical hazards among radio and television technicians. The objectives of the study were to determine the factors that facilitate electrical hazard among radio and television technicians, and to examine the factors that prevent electrical hazard among radio and television technicians. The total population of the study was 42, comprising 24 technicians, 8 workshop attendants and 10 workshop supervisors in radio and television stations in Enugu State Nigeria. Survey research design was adopted. Random sampling was used to select the supervisors. Structured questionnaire containing a total of 18 items was the instrument for data collection. The instrument was validated by three experts and reliability coefficient of 0.89 was obtained using Cronbach's Alpha. The way radio/television stations in Enugu are structured has an impact on how technicians handle working instruments like pliers, screw drivers, chisels, and hammers, as well as other possible workplace hazards like nails, pieces of iron, bare conductors, and so on. There should be a standard building with well labeled shelves where tools and equipment are packed so as to promote their efficiency in the workplace. Technicians should also be aware of specific attitudes they have in the workshop and understand their role in hazard management to ensure that they stay fit and healthy throughout their careers. Occurrence of work related musculoskeletal problems should be minimized among radio/television technicians in Enugu.
