Thesis Overview

<p> <strong>INTRODUCTION</strong><br>&nbsp;<br>Life expectance has never met anyone without some hitches. &nbsp;This is a result of the unclear nature of the world we are in.<br>Transportation case, is not an exception, in schools or in the commercial sector, transportation has been a major stumbling block to economic growth.<br>In our higher institution, especially the multi-campuses, this has gained lots of havoc to the human resource development. &nbsp;This becomes more complex when it has been confirmed that almost nothing is done to alleviate the problem by the authority that be.<br>Education is one of the greatest assets for any nation. &nbsp;It is a long run profitable venture for any nation. &nbsp;Transport to say is the knitting needle with which every other national affair is being brought together and education is not an exception. &nbsp;Due to its prime importance to bringing people in different location together, its negative effect has deterred the advancement of education in higher institutions especially the multi-campus ones. &nbsp;But it, students can go to school and to their home especially for non residential institution or movement from one of the campus to the other.<br>This project will go into in-depth investigation to find out the causes of this transportation problem in our campuses and possible way out of the problem(s). &nbsp;A case study is the Institute of Management and Technology, Enugu, Enugu State.<br>At the end of the study, revelations shall be made on how to improve the transportation problem(s) of the multi-campus institution in our nation.<br>&nbsp;<br>1.1 OVERVIEW OF TRANSPORTATION/GENERAL BACKGROUND TO SUBJECT MATTER:<br>MODES OF TRANSPORTATION: <br>&nbsp;<br>The movement of resources, be it human or material is a location of plenty to that of absent or vice versa has unique mode.<br>The modes of transportation among other includes:<br>(i) Land transportation<br>(ii) Water transportation<br>(iii) Air transportation<br>&nbsp;<br>(i) LAND TRANSPORTATION:<br>This form of transport has been as old as man. &nbsp;People, goods and services are conveyed from one place to another by land. &nbsp;This started with long distance transport on foot followed by the use of animals as Horse and Donkeys for carrying loads. &nbsp;Over the years, as man ingenuity to form the earth to his taste increases, he continues to develop easy and faster modes of land transportation. &nbsp;Amongst these are road transportation and rail transportation.<br>&nbsp;<br>&nbsp;<br>(ii) WATER TRANSPORTATION:<br>&nbsp;<br>Is the means of carrying goods and services, people from one location to another by water. &nbsp;This is achieved by means of liners, canoes, ships, engine boat etc. &nbsp;It could be within a country (nation) or between two or more countries (international).<br>In international water transportation, ocean liners, or streamers and tramp liner are used, and it takes place on high seas, oceans and big risers. &nbsp;National is within the water mass of the country; here we have lances, canoes, and engine boats as the transportation means.<br>Transportation by water is very good and efficient in making long distant Journey. &nbsp;It is most convenient in carrying bulky goods. The weight of goods carried by this means far outweighs any other form of transportation.<br>&nbsp;<br>(iii) AIR TRANSPORTATION:<br>&nbsp;<br>This started with the invention of airplane and helicopter and first flown by the WRIGHT BROTHERS. &nbsp;This form is in no doubt the height of means ingenuity to making transportation much more effective, efficient and faster. &nbsp;It is fastest, align much more effective, efficient and fastest. &nbsp;It is fastest, safer and can convey both people, goods and mail at ease. &nbsp;Bulky goods are also flown into air without a do. &nbsp;It makes the farthest distance ever. &nbsp;International travels are made in hours, and minutes. &nbsp;Presently, homage is being paid to other plants like mars, Jupiter etc by an advanced country from aeroplane called space craft.<br>&nbsp;<br><strong>TABLE OF CONTENTS</strong><br>&nbsp;<br>Title page<br>Approval page<br>Acknowledgement<br>Table of contents<br>CHAPTER ONE<br>1.0 Introduction<br>1.1 General background to the subject matter<br>1.2 Problems associated with the subject matter<br>1.3 The problems that the study will be concerned with<br>1.4 The Importance of the studying the area<br>1.5 Definition of important terms<br>1.6 Reference<br>CHAPTER TWO<br>2.0 Literature Review<br>2.1 School of Thought within the subject area<br>2.2 The origin of the subject area<br>2.3 The School of Thought relevant to the problem of study<br>2.4 Different methods of studying the problem<br>2.5 Summary<br>2.6 Reference <br>CHAPTER THREE:<br>3.0 Conclusion<br>3.1 Data presentation (Highlights of the subject)<br>3.2 Analysis of the Data<br>3.3 Recommendation<br>3.4 Conclusions<br>3.5 References <br></p>
