STRUCTURE OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMME
6.1 Overall Structure Each programme has modules that spread over two semesters. Each academic year has two semesters. The first semester consists of 17 weeks and the second semester consists of 17 weeks for classroom activities and 10 weeks for Industrial practical training. Therefore the whole programme has a total of 44 weeks of study for the fulltime attendance mode. 6.2 Curriculum Overview
STRUCTURE OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES
6.2.1 Fundamental Modules They provide a range of basic skills, knowledge and principle appropriate for a graduate in all the fields of engineering as well as for the underpinning and effective study of the main theme of the programme. They also provide a viable foundation for further studies and lifelong learning. 6.2.2 C ore Module Modules associated with the core studies provide the development of the main theme of the programme. They broadly represent the main areas of activity in the respective disciplines, and the in-depth treatment of them will enable graduate to rapidly become effective technicians or engineers in the industries associated with the discipline. These modules are taught with fundamental ones so as to enable students gain an appreciation of the nature and complexities of real engineering systems. In order to achieve an integration of these modules there will be considerable use of mode of integration of laboratory, workshops, fields, lectures and assignment work. In addition, case studies will be used in the module 6.2.3 Elective Module Elective modules provide an opportunity for in depth study in specific subjects to level not possible in the core modules and thereby present a greater intellectual challenge. Also they give students the ability to work within a multidisciplinary team/task.

ATC
6.3
Mode of Training The two major parts of training, the theoretical and practical parts carry almost the same weight. The former part is conducted in the college class rooms while the later is carried out in the well equipped college workshops and in industries as industrial training. At the end of each academic year, students attend industrial training for ten (10) weeks. The main purpose of the industrial practical training is to give the students a chance to apply what she/he has learnt at the college in industry and to make him/her appreciate the real working environment which he/she will experience after completing his/her studies.
STRUCTURE OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES
6.4
Examinations a) xaminations include continuous assessment (tests, assignments, E seminars presentations, practicals or any other form of assessment specified in the study guide issued at the beginning of Semester) and end of Semester Examinations including practical where appropriate. b) ere shall be a written and, where the course demands, a practical Th examination during each end of semester for a course taught. c) iming of examinations shall be between 07.00 am and 10.00 pm any T day of the week including weekends.

The department started implementing market driven, modular, and competence based education and training (CBET) system as from July2005 to date replacing former system. CBET, a three year course is focused on learning outcomes that demonstrate competencies in knowledge and practical skills that are career or task oriented, leading graduates to National Technical Awards (NTA) namely NTA Level 4 (Basic Technician Certificate), NTA Level 5 (Technician Certificate) and NTA level 6 (Ordinary Diploma). Student is promoted from lower level to higher level after successful completion on that level. The department introduced Electronics and Telecommunication engineering discipline in 2007 boosting the enrolment of students in electrical engineering department from 34 in 2006 to 64 in each subsequent academic year.
