Message of the Dean
The Faculty of Engineering Technology of the Open University of

Sri Lanka offers academic programmes leading to Certificates,
Diplomas, Degrees and Post-Graduate Qualifications in
engineering and industry related studies. We hope that this
Prospectus and course information would be helpful to you to
choose a programme of study to suit your requirements. Further it
is intended to give you an understanding about the distant mode
of education as practiced by the Open University of Sri Lanka.
The Open University of Sri Lanka differs from the conventional universities in that it imparts
instructions to students using distant teaching methodologies. This facilitates to enrol larger numbers
of students and to give opportunities of higher education to employed persons. The system of open
entry makes educational background and age no barrier for enrolment. Any of adult of the age of 18
years or above can register to follow our academic programmes.
You can study at home, at your work place and at any time of the day when you are free from work.
We will facilitate your studies by providing you with printed self study lesson material, which is given
to you at the time of registration. This means your academic studies begin as soon as you register as a
student to follow our programmes. In addition to printed lesson material, your academic activities are
supported by on-line classes, tutor marked assignments, day schools, lab classes, mini projects etc.
Some of these activities are done in classroom atmosphere with the presence of a teacher. Other
activities such as mini-projects and tutor marked assignments also contribute towards the assessment
of your performance. In addition, continuous assessment tests and final examinations are conducted
for the assessment of your performance.
Time schedule of all such activities conducted by the faculty are mentioned in the activity diary given
to you at the time of your registration. It is your sole responsibility to plan your self studies and to
participate in compulsory activities in order to have a satisfactory level of performance in each of the
courses you offer in a particular academic year.
I sincerely hope that you will find a programme suitable to your prospective carrier in our faculty. I
would like to welcome you as a student of ours, who is motivated to pursue studies in distant mode. I
wish you all the success in all your efforts to acquire a recognised qualification from our faculty.
Good Luck!

It would be a mistake on your part if you

be over emphasised. As such, we do make an
extra effort to accommodate the particular
situation of such students. However, the
students too should plan their programme,
taking note of the fact that there cannot be any
flexibility in arranging certain activities.
Therefore, when selecting the courses to be
offered in a particular year, you are advised to
consider your commitment in terms of time and

Levels, with reference to the appropriate credit tables.
5. Mark the Compulsory courses for your required area of specialisation in the
Complete List of Courses in pages 10 -16 (technology programmes) and 29 - 32
(industrial studies programme).
6. Select from the same list as in item 5 above, the additional courses to fulfil the
balance credit requirements for different Categories at different Levels as well as
the Total credit requirement. When you are selecting these additional courses pay
special attention to Prerequisites.
7. You may claim exemptions based on your existing qualifications (follow the
Faculty approved procedure) and offer courses at registration to gradually
complete the courses from lower to higher Levels through the years. This must be
done subject to maximum credit limits allowed per year.

Scheme of Assessment
Scheme of Assessment for Programmes conducted by the Faculty of Engineering Technology
[Extracts from relevant Rules and Regulations applicable to the above awards]
2. Scheme of Assessment
2.1 The assessment for the course “FEJ0010-Learning to Learn at a Distance” shall consist of Continuous
Assessment only. A student who obtains a minimum of 40% for the Continuous Assessment in FEJ0010
shall be awarded a Pass and shall be eligible to obtain a Certificate of Completion.
2.2 The assessment of a student in any course, other than FEJ0010, shall consist of two components, viz.:
Continuous Assessment and Final Examination.
2.2.1 The content, nature and weightage of each of these components shall be in accordance with the Rules
relating to the scheme and method of assessment as determined by the Faculty.
2.2.2 A student shall be eligible to appear at the Final Examination in respect of any course only if he/she has
been awarded a minimum of 40% for the Continuous Assessment component in respect of that course.
The eligibility thus obtained to sit for the Final Examination in respect of any course shall be valid for a
period stipulated by the Senate.
2.2.3 A student who fails to obtain 40% for Continuous Assessment or fails to obtain a grade C or higher at
the Final Examination before the lapse of the eligibility in respect of any course, shall be deemed to
have failed that course and shall be awarded the grade FA. Such a student may repeat that course by re-
registering subject to section 2.2.6.
2.2.4 The overall assessment mark (Z%) of a student in respect of any course shall be based on the Continuous
Assessment mark (X%) and the mark obtained at the Final Examination (Y%) and shall be computed and
grades awarded as follows:
For courses offered by the Faculty of Engineering Technology;
85 < Z :A+ 63 < Z < 70: B+ 45 < Z < 50: C+ 30 < Z < 35: D+
75 < Z < 85: A 55 < Z < 63: B 40 < Z < 45: C 20 < Z < 30: D
70 < Z < 75: A- 50 < Z < 55: B- 35 < Z < 40: C- Z < 20: E
A+, A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, and C, constitute Pass grades.
The grades PA+, PA, PB, PC, PD, RE and RF already awarded under the previous structures shall be
converted in accordance with the conversion method approved by the Senate
2.2.5 A student who is awarded a C-, D+, D or E grade for a particular course cannot count that course
towards his credit requirements unless he re-sits the Final Examination on a subsequent occasion and
obtains a C grade.
2.2.6 A student who either repeats a course or re-sits a Final Examination or is exempted from a course shall
be deemed to have obtained a mark, which is not higher than 40% and a grade not higher than C.
2.2.7 A student who withdraws from a course by a written communication addressed to the Registrar within a
period of two months from the commencement of the course may be allowed to re-register for that
course in a subsequent academic year without being considered a repeat student. The date of
commencement of the course shall be as determined by the Senate, for the purpose of this Rule.
2.2.8 A student, who is eligible to sit for the Final Examination in a course (under section 2.3) but has not done
so, may postpone sitting such examination, for a period stipulated by the Senate, without being
considered as a re-sit candidate. Such a student shall be awarded the grade RX in respect of that course
in which he/she is so absent.
