Abstract

Final Year Project (FYP) is an important component of higher education degrees which helps to consolidate students’ learning by providing an opportunity for applying a broad range of knowledge to a real life problem while developing other useful skills. Students work in close proximity with their assigned supervisors who guide them on a learning path during their project work. Research claims that the quality of overall outcome is dependent on the supervisor/student relationship. The results of the survey found that students who had a good experience during their FYP were more likely to continue in computing and IT careers. MentorNet, an online mentoring platform is analysed and e-mentoring platform similar to MentorNet to support IT human capital development in Nigeria is recommended.
