Message from the Dean

Faculty of Engineering Technology of the Open University of Sri Lanka, which comes under the University Grants Commission, offers Certificate, Diploma, Undergraduate and Postgraduate programmes for those who wish to obtain their post-secondary qualifications. As a distance learning institution, the study programmes of the Faculty are designed in such a way that the student can follow them with minimum number of face to face teaching sessions. In the meantime, presence of the student is essential for number of activities. The Faculty has well equipped laboratories to carry out the studies successfully. Well-qualified academic staff of the Faculty provides required learner support with the help of educational technology techniques. Since the programmes are offered in distance mode, the student can work while studying in the University. The duration of a degree programme depends on the time availability of the student for her/his studies. However, there is a minimum and maximum duration of a programme. Faculty also recognises prior qualifications of the applicants and they can enter to the programme at different levels. The University has taken steps to cater to the demands of the regions of the country through the regional network and the student can carry out many of the academic activities without coming to the central campus at Nawala. Since for many the study system at the Open University is a new experience, the student needs dedication and determination to succeed. At present the Faculty consists of six Academic Departments, with over sixty well qualified dedicated academic staff members. Faculty offers three undergraduate study programmes, namely Bachelor of Technology Honours in Engineering [BTechHons(Eng)], Bachelor of Industrial Studies Honours [BIS Hons], and Bachelor of Software Engineering Honours [BSEHons]. The students following study programmes leading to BTechHons(Eng) or BISHons may also obtain a Higher Diploma in a relevant discipline after fulfilling the requirements.

Section I - General Information

1. The University

Established in 1980 under the Universities Act No. 16 of 1978, the Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL) is the only recognised university in Sri Lanka where students may pursue further education by distance education techniques in keeping with the philosophy of Open and Distance Learning. With the OUSL Ordinance No. 1 of 1990, as amended, the OUSL has the same legal and academic status as any other national university in Sri Lanka. As per the Public Administration Circular No. 16/92, dated 13/03/1992, issued by the Ministry of Public administration, Provincial Councils and Home affairs, the degrees awarded by the OUSL are treated as equivalent to degrees awarded by other universities under the

purview of the University Grant Commission (UGC) of Sri Lanka. The OUSL offers its own programmes of study leading to Certificates, Diplomas, Higher Diplomas, Honours Degrees and Postgraduate Diplomas and Masters Degrees. In addition to these main academic programmes, Stand Alone courses are offered. The OUSL is also fully equipped to support postgraduate research studies leading to Master of Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees. The OUSL provides a readily accessible and progressive ladder of opportunities for study, to improve the vocational, professional and earning potential of an individual. The educational programmes have been designed to meet national, educational and training needs, and to offer opportunities to those who have the dedication and drive to succeed. With its flexibility, the OUSL provides a more socially equitable higher education system. A person has to be above 18 years of age to apply for enrolment at the Faculty of Engineering Technology.

2. Faculty of Engineering Technology The Faculty of Engineering Technology is one of the five academic faculties of the OUSL. The other four faculties are the Faculty of Natural Sciences, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Education and the Faculty of Health Sciences. The administrative and academic head of the Faculty is the Dean. The Faculty of Engineering Technology consists of the following six Academic Departments:

• Agricultural and Plantation Engineering

• Civil Engineering

• Electrical and Computer Engineering

• Mathematics and Philosophy of Engineering

• Mechanical Engineering

• Textile and Apparel Technology Each department functions under a Head. All departments are collectively responsible for all academic activities of the Faculty.

The Faculty Board of the Faculty of Engineering Technology regulates all academic activities in the Faculty under the direction of the Senate of the OUSL.

The Faculty also has a multi-disciplinary Engineering Research Unit (ERU) dedicated to enhance research in the Faculty and to provide a forum for discussion of matters pertaining to Engineering research.

2

The Faculty of Engineering Technology offers a wide variety of programmes from Certificates, Diplomas, Degrees, PG Diplomas, Master of Technology Degrees, Master of Philosophy and Doctor of Philosophy.

If you are interested in learning about technology, it is very likely that there is a programme to suit you. The programmes offered by the Faculty are described in detail in following sections of this guide book.

3. The Study System

The study system adopted by the Open University of Sri Lanka is based on multimedia instructional materials with a strong emphasis on Distance Education techniques using printed material, online learning facilities and audio-visual aids. The Faculty of Engineering Technology is one of the pioneers, among all academic institutions in the world, in the delivery of engineering study programmes in distance education mode. The central component of Distant Education is the printed material that offers the student the equivalent to lectures in a conventional university. They also provide a series of carefully designed activities and self-assessment questions, which help the student to develop analytical skills and independent thought. Printed material is supplemented by audio-visual material, online classes, face to face discussions/clarification classes (Day-Schools), tutor clinics, laboratory work, fieldwork, and seminars. Laboratory work and fieldwork form an integral part of most courses in technology and are compulsory. Pre-scheduled Day-Schools are conducted by the academics for groups of students at Regional and Study Centres of the University. As most of the programmes are offered in English medium, an acceptable level of fluency in English is expected from our students. The OUSL is meant primarily for working students. Therefore, it is possible for a student to study while working, without much difficulty. Those students who have passed GCE (A/L) or equivalent qualifications may join the Honours Degree programmes directly. Other will be required to first follow the foundation programmes offered by the university. While the University is making every effort to schedule as many activities as possible during weekends and public holidays, certain activities such as laboratory classes and examinations may have to be scheduled during weekdays. Since the “Activity Diary” for the whole year is given

to the students at the beginning of the academic year, it is hoped that they can plan their work well in advance. A student who joins the OUSL for a particular programme by fulfilling Entry requirements is required to register for at least eight credits of courses in the programme. To register for a particular course, the student should have fulfilled the given Prerequisites for that course. Students are allowed to change their selection of courses after going through the study material, during the subsequent Add/Drop Period

(usually one month after the last date of registration), without any penalty. From the last date of Add/Drop period, for a further one month students can withdraw from the courses which they are unable to handle. In this event, the first instalment of fees already charged will be forfeited. Each course in a Programme of Study is assessed separately. Assessment consists of two components, namely Continuous Assessment

(CA) and Final Examination (FE). Continuous assessment is not merely a means of assessment; it is one of the significant means of facilitating learning. Activities such as laboratory work, field classes, tutor marked assignments (TMAs), presentations, mini projects (MP) and continuous assessment tests (CATs) are integral parts of learning and assessment. A student is required to obtain a minimum of 40% marks as the Overall Continuous Assessment Mark (OCAM) for a particular course to pass that course. If this minimum mark is not obtained, the student is considered to have failed in that course and has to re-register in a subsequent year by re-paying the tuition fee. In this event, the student can obtain only a simple pass (C grade) for the course after successful completion. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that a student only register for the number of courses which he/she can cope within their respective time availability.

3

A student gaining more than 40% OCAM in a particular course is expected to sit the final examination in the same year. However, facing the final examination may be postponed to following year if necessary, within the valid period of 2 academic years including the year the student passed CA. Final mark of any course depends on the performance at both Continuous Assessment and Final Examination. For the courses offered by the Faculty, these components carry equal weightage. Therefore, students must effectively involve in continuous learning throughout the academic year. Since a fair proportion of the activities used to impart knowledge in distance education involve self study, success is only possible based on motivation and commitment. A student who obtains the minimum OCAM mark for a particular course but fails to obtain the minimum pass mark at the final examination will be considered as a re-sit student. Re-sit students are not required to re-register for that particular course, but should sit and pass the Final examination within the following academic year. Re-sit students can obtain only a pass grade (grade C) for the particular course.

Important Notice for re-registering students: 1. The Bachelor of Technology (Engineering)

Degree has been renamed as the Bachelor of Technology Honours in Engineering from the academic year 2013/2014 and this Award is equivalent to the Bachelor of Technology (Engineering) Degree.

The following has been implemented from the academic year, 2016/2017. 2. Students who wish to sit for the Final

Examination of any course is required to apply for the same.

The following will be implemented from the academic year, 2017/2018. 3. A student may apply for the Final

Examination of any course irrespective of the overall CA mark.

4. An overall CA mark obtained for a course is only valid for the academic year it was obtained and the subsequent academic year.

5. To successfully complete a course a student needs to attain above the minimum OCAM for the course and pass the final examination.

1. Structure of the Curriculum and Courses

The curriculum of the Faculty of Engineering

Technology ensures that the students receive an

academically as well as professionally

recognised qualification in a particular field.

However, it still allows the student to structure

the subject combinations and total duration of

study to suit individual needs. To gain a

qualification with a particular specialisation, a

specific course combination stipulated for that

specialisation needs to be fulfilled.

Courses The fundamental entity in the dissemination

process of knowledge is known as a “course” In

other words, a course is equivalent to a subject.

Course Categories Each course is classified into one distinct

"Course Category" denoted by a specific letter. Engineering X Engineering projects Y Mathematics Z Industrial I General J Computer literacy K English L or E Management M

Course Levels Each course has also been assigned a "Level",

between one (1) and seven (7). The Level

indicates the relative complexity of the course

content. Levels 1 & 2 comprise the certificate

programme. Levels 3 to 6 are different stages in

undergraduate study programmes leading to

Higher Diploma & Honours Degree

qualifications. Finally, the courses of

postgraduate programmes are placed at Levels

7 and 8.

Credit Rating The Credit Rating assigned for a course reflects

the amount of time an average student is

expected to devote for its study.

Total effective time expected to be spent by an

average student for a course with a Credit Rating

of one (1) is about 50 notional hours. The credit

rating of a course is denoted by the second digit

in the Course Code.

Ex: for the course MHZ3551 credit rating is 5, which

means the student is expected to spend about 250

notional hours of learning during the academic year.

Credit Limit The maximum number of credits a student can

offer for an academic year is limited to thirty

eight (38) credits, that is about 1900 notional

hours.

Departmental Codes Further, the course codes also indicate the department offering the particular course. The codes allocated for the Departments of the Faculty are as follows:

Study Programmes Study Programmes are made up of different course combinations. For the award of a qualification through a programme such as a Certificate, Higher Diploma or an Honours Degree, three major considerations need to be fulfilled: i) A total stipulated number of Course

Credits and training modules required for an award should be acquired, while fulfilling the minimum requirements at different Levels.

ii) Minimum stipulated number of Category

Credits required for an award should be fulfilled by the student under each Course

Category at identified Levels. iii) In order for the student to qualify in a

Particular Field of Study, (e.g. Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, etc.), the list of Compulsory Courses and relevant training

modules required for an award in that field of study should also be satisfied.

3. Student Fees Unlike the other national universities in Sri Lanka, the OUSL does charge fees from its students. This is related to the fact that the OUSL was set up primarily to cater to the needs of employed students. As these students would naturally be earning at least a modest income, it was felt that the decision to levy fees is justified.

However, there is no intention of recovering the full cost of education from the students. As of today, the income from fees meets only a fraction of the total expenditure of the University. The Government, by grants disbursed through the University Grants Commission, meets the major component of the total expenditure. The fees payable by a registered student includes, registration fee, facilities fee, exemption fee (where applicable), library facility fee, tuition fee, etc.

- The Registration fee (of Rs. 400/= for certificate, diploma and undergraduate programmes; Rs. 1,000/= for postgraduate programmes) is charged to cover the administrative expenditure involved in student registration. - The Facilities fee (of Rs. 1,500/=) is used to provide certain facilities for the students and is a fixed amount payable by all registered students irrespective of the number of courses offered. - The Library Facility fee (of Rs. 100/= for certificate, diploma and undergraduate programmes; Rs. 200/= for postgraduate programmes) is charged at the time of first registration. - The Exemption fee (of Rs. 60/= per credit) is charged only if exemptions are granted. - The Tuition fee depends on the Credit rating and the Level of the offered course. These rates are applicable for the Certificate in Industrial Studies programme, Bachelor of Technology Honours in Engineering Degree programme, Bachelor of Industrial Studies Honours Degree programme and Postgraduate and Master‘s degree programmes. The tuition fees applicable for different levels are as given in the following table.

Level Tuition fee per credit

3 and 4 Rs. 1050.00

5 and 6 Rs. 1600.00

4.5 Programme of Study and the requirements for the award of the Higher Diploma / Honours Degree

The Programme of Study consists of a combination of courses and training modules as determined by the Senate and as specified in the Rules. The Rules shall specify the category, the level and the credit

rating of each course, and the type and the duration of each training module in each study programme.

A student should acquire either by successful completion in accordance with the Scheme of Assessment or by exemption, as set out in the Rules, course credits and industrial training requirements as referred to in section 4.5.1 for the award of the Higher Diploma, and in section 4.5.2 for the award of the Degree.

4.5.1 Requirements for the award of the Higher Diploma The courses selected for the award of the Higher Diploma in Technology in an approved discipline shall be so as to meet the minimum requirements in each category as shown below in Table 1. If the credits gained in any category exceed the maximum limit shown, only such maximum shall be used in computing the total credits. In situations where a student has obtained credits in excess of maximum, such excess credits shall be eliminated by considering level 3 courses first and then 4, 5, and 6, such that the maximum possible credits are counted in each category. In addition, the student needs to complete training modules (A pass in Workshop practice and Industrial training module/s equivalent to 30

weeks duration) relevant to the specialisations (Section 4.8). The complete list of courses, with prerequisites, is given under Section 4.9.

6.5 Postgraduate Research Degrees

Research keeps a person motivated, at the forefront of the respective professional or academic career while contributing to solve problems scientifically for the benefit of the society.

Supervised research leading to a higher degree is really only the beginning of a research career. Basically, it provides training in research methodology and research techniques.

The Faculty provides opportunities for science and technology based research in most of the Engineering disciplines. All research students are initially required to register for an MPhil degree. Suitable students could however transfer to a PhD degree after about a year of work, on the recommendation of their supervisor(s).

Students are normally expected to possess an Honours Degree or an equivalent qualification to read for a research degree. However, in exceptional circumstances, other suitably qualified candidates may also be considered for admission.

Students who register for Master/Doctor of Philosophy degrees are required to submit a thesis within 2-7 years. It is expected that the work should reflect the student’s research capability and that it should make a significant contribution to knowledge in the area of study.

If you feel that you are competent and motivated to pursue higher studies for a research degree, you should contact a senior academic staff member of the relevant academic department in which you wish to carry out your research.
