Design Education and the Nigerian Economy
A look at the history of Nigeria reflects that in all spheres of life, nature has provided for the country to be a high performing economic success. Nigeria, the largest in Africa, is rich in human, cultural and natural resources. Nigeria could be described as the Greece of Africa. The influence of Nigerian arts, crafts and design have been felt strongly in other parts of the world. It is lamentable that while most emerging economies are harnessing design education for development and improving quality of lives of their citizenry, the Nigerian political climate has not enabled the formulation of strategic policies that can boost industrial climate of the economy. This has not provided the support and appropriate infrastructure for indigenous design education and development capabilities.  The paper takes a look at the current political policies of Nigeria, its economic reality in the absence of formidable design groups and design policy that can enhance indigenous technical knowhow. The paper also examines the value oriented benefits inherent in design education as experienced in developed economies and how it can be channeled to make its contributions to grow the Nigerian economy.
Industrial Design
Course overview This programme brings together product design creativity with the technical knowledge and skills of engineering. You will develop as a technically competent industrial designer, benefiting from the very latest in new product development techniques. The result is a modern engineering degree that will equip you with an excellent technical and creative grounding for a successful career in designing and developing new products. This module provides students with essential foundational skills in effective hand sketching, visualisation, and final presentation of design ideas. Students are instructed in principles, examples, and demonstrations regarding the use of a variety of design communication media and techniques, for the purposes of conceiving, developing and presenting product design ideas. Programme details and modules listed are illustrative only and subject to change.
List of the described Coleoptera ofTasmania.
The Coleoptera of Tasmania have never been considered as 
a whole since the time of Erichson, and no list or 
catalogue of the species has ever been compiled. About 
10,000 species have now been recorded from Australia and 
Tasmania, of which scarcely 400 have been described from 
Tasmania. A very imperfect knowledge of what species 
are confined to the island exists, as species supposed only 
to occur there, are constantly being found in Victoria and 
New South Wales, and even sometimes in Western Australia 
and Queensland; on the other hand, Tasmanian 
collectors frequently obtain mainland species which have 
never been recorded from Tasmania. 
I have considered it advisable, therefore, to prepare a 
list of the species hitherto recorded from Tasmania, adding 
to the list such species as I have seen in Tasmanian collections, 
or have myself taken in Tasmania. In this list, 
the genera and families are placed as far as possible in the 
order in which they appear in Masters' "Catalogue of the 
Described Coleoptera of Australia;" the species are placed 
alphabetically. All known synonyms have been omitted.
