Message of the Dean Let me first of all compliment you for considering the Faculty of Technology of the Open University of Sri Lanka (OUSL), to pursue your higher studies and fulfil your educational goals and ambitions. The Faculty of Technology of the Open University of Sri Lanka is one of the pioneers worldwide in conducting degree programmes in Open and Distance Learning (ODL). The Faculty offers academic programmes leading to Certificates, Diplomas, Degrees and Post Graduate Qualifications in engineering and industry related disciplines. This Guidebook contains information on academic programmes offered by the Faculty. Further, this guidebook is intended to give you an understanding about the ODL mode of education as practiced by the OUSL. Through the ODL mode of education, we are able to provide opportunities of higher education to a large number of students, including those who are employed. You have the flexibility to choose the place, time and pace at which you will pursue your studies at the OUSL. However, you should be highly motivated, persistent and determined to work hard to complete your studies. Contrary to the general belief, ODL mode of study is neither part-time nor totally without any contacts with the tutor. In fact the work-load of a student, who offers the maximum number of allowed courses per academic year, is equivalent to that of the work-load of any conventional university student. At the OUSL we will facilitate your studies by providing you with printed self study lesson materials. In addition to this, your academic activities are supported by on-line classes, tutor marked assignments, day schools, laboratory classes, mini projects, etc. Some of these activities are done in a classroom atmosphere with the presence of a teacher. Activities such as mini-projects, laboratory reports, and tutor marked assignments also contribute towards the assessment of your performance. In addition, continuous assessment tests and final examinations constitute part of the student assessment. I sincerely hope that you will be able to identify a study programme that is suitable to your prospective career in this guidebook. I hope 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. Wishing you all the very best! Eng. Prof. SA Ariadurai Dean/Faculty of Technology iii

General Information 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). Owing to the nature of its teaching techniques and the massive infrastructure, the University has over 35,000 students with extremely varied profiles, spread throughout the island. About 70% of these students are employed. The OUSL offers its own programmes of study leading to Certificates, Advanced Certificates, Diplomas, Degrees and Postgraduate Diplomas and Postgraduate Degrees. In addition to these main academic programmes, there are continuing education courses, beginner s courses and awareness programmes. 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. The Faculty of Technology The Faculty of Technology is one of the four academic faculties of the OUSL. The other three faculties are the Faculty of Natural Sciences, the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and the Faculty of Education. The administrative and academic head of the Faculty is the Dean. The Faculty of Technology consists of the following six Academic Departments: Agricultural and Plantation Civil Electrical and Computer Mathematics and Philosophy of Mechanical 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 Technology regulates all academic activities in the Faculty, under the direction of the Senate of the OUSL. The Faculty also has a multi-disciplinary Research Unit (ERU) dedicated to enhance research in the Faculty and to provide a forum for discussion of matters pertaining to research. This Student Guidebook describes various academic programmes conducted by the Faculty of Technology and relevant information pertaining to these programmes. Any person who is above 18 years of age can enrol at the OUSL. - 1 -

The Study System The study system adopted by the Open University of Sri Lanka is based on multimedia instructional materials with strong emphasis on Distance Education techniques using printed material, on-line learning facilities and audiovisual aids. The Faculty of Technology is one of the pioneers, among all academic institutions in the world, in the delivery of engineering 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 audiovisual material, on-line classes, face to face discussions/clarification classes (Day-Schools), tutor clinics, laboratory work, fieldwork, and seminars. Laboratory work and field work form an integral part of most courses in technology and are compulsory. Pre-scheduled Day-Schools and Tutor Clinics 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 applicable level of fluency in English is expected from our students. Therefore a special English course is offered for students to follow during their 1 st year. 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) may join the Diploma/Degree programmes directly. 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 schedule 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 joins the OUSL for a particular programme by fulfilling Entry requirements and registering for at least nine credits of courses in the programme of study in his/her first year of registration. 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 for 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% in continuous assessment of a particular course, to be eligible to sit for the final examination. 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. In this event, the student can obtain only a simple pass (C grade) for the course after successful completion. A student gaining eligibility in a particular course is expected to sit the final examination in the same year. However, facing the final examination may be postponed to a subsequent year, within the valid period of eligibility of up to a maximum of 3 academic years including the year the student obtained the eligibility. Final assessment mark of any course depends on the performance at both the continuous assessment and the final examination. For the courses offered by the Faculty, these components carry equal weight. Therefore, students must practise continuous learning throughout the academic year, in order to attain success. Since a fair proportion of the activities used to impart knowledge in distance education have to be carried out by the student, success is possible only if he/she is motivated to learn by him/herself. - 2 -

Structure of the Curriculum and Courses The curriculum of the Faculty of Technology ensures that the students receive an academically as well as professionally recognised qualification in a particular field. However, it still allows a student to structure the subject combinations and total duration of study to suit individual needs. To gain a qualification with a particular specialisation, 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. projects Mathematics Industrial General Computer literacy English Management X Y Z I J K L or E M Course Levels Each course is also assigned a "Level", between one (1) and seven (7). The Level indicates the relative complexity of the course content. Levels 1 & 2 comprise the foundation for different programmes. Levels 3 to 6 are different stages in undergraduate study programmes leading to Advanced Certificate, Diploma & Degree qualifications. Finally, the courses of postgraduate programmes are placed at Level 7. 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 25 hours. The credit rating of a course can be computed by multiplying the fifth character in the Course Code for that course by three (3). Ex: for the course MPZ3231 credit rating is 6 (=2 3), which means the student is expected to spend about 150 (= 6 25) 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 six (36) from Regular Courses (X, Z, and I categories) and eighteen (18) from Continuing Education Courses (Y, J, K, E and M categories). However, the total number of credits that can be taken per academic year, from both the Regular and Continuing Education courses together, is limited to a maximum of forty five (45) credits. Thus, an average student opting to offer the maximum allowable credits (45) in an academic year would be expected to spend about 1125 effective hours for studies during the academic year (i.e. about 38 hours per week assuming 30 weeks of study in an academic year). English Language Proficiency Requirement In order to register for the courses offered by the Faculty of Technology, students need to fulfil English language requirements as given below. Level 3 Concurrent registration for LSE3201 4 Eligibility in LSE3201 5 & 6 Pass in LSE3201 Requirement Pass in General English in GCE (A/L) or equivalent or higher English language qualification (pg. 41) 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: Department/Faculty conducting the course Agricultural and Plantation Civil Electrical and Computer Mathematics and Philosophy of Mechanical Textile and Apparel Technology Faculty of Technology Code AE CE EC MP ME TT FE - 3 -

Following are the codes for the Departments of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Faculty of Natural Sciences which offer certain courses for the study programmes of the Faculty of Technology: Department Language Studies Legal Studies Mathematics & Computer Science Social Studies Code LS LW PC Course Codes The letters and numbers denoting the Departments, Categories, Levels, and Credit Rating make up the code for a course. e.g. Information from Course code CEX4231; CE X 4 2 31 Department Level 4 Credit Serial of Civil rating 2 3 = 6 no. Study Programmes Study Programmes are made up of different course combinations. For the award of a qualification through a programme such as a Certificate, Diploma or a 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. Special Awards Students who have performed extremely well in degree programmes are rewarded with gold medals. The gold medals awarded by the faculty are: 1. Kulshreshtha gold medal for the best student in Bachelor of Technology () programme. SS 2. Thurairajah gold medal for the best final year project in Bachelor of Technology () programme. 3. ERU gold medal for the Best paper published in ERU journal 4. Mrs. S.M. Abeygunesekera de Silva gold medal for the best student in Mechatronics stream. 5. Liyanaguruge Assie Annette de Silva gold medal for the Best Student in Bachelor of Industrial Studies (Agriculture) programme. Exemptions Students who have academic qualifications other than entry requirements (ex: NDT, B.Sc) may be granted exemptions according to their qualifications. Faculty approved exemptions are given in pages 40-46 and 57-59. If you possess any qualification other than these you can seek exemptions by sending duly filled application form given in page 79 of this Student Guidebook on or before specified date. Any exemptions granted will be informed at the time of registration. In certain instances when the students possess qualifications for which the Faculty cannot grant any exemption from an existing course, credit exemptions may be granted using virtual courses with appropriate category, level and credit rating. Training Practical skills are an essential part of Education, and are given due place our programmes. Students who are following Diploma and Degree programme should complete relevant training modules as given in the Course Information Section. The students undergo Workshop practice module in the University (Colombo, Kandy, Matara, Batticaloa regional centres) and for the Industrial training they are placed in different reputed public and private organisations. In the case of Industrial Studies programme students need not follow the Workshop practice module. Those who are working in industries relating to the particular field may seek exemptions for Industrial training. Further details are available with the Training Engineer who looks after the matters related to the industrial training by contacting through Tel. 0112881223. - 4 -

These provide services throughout the week. Temporary Residential Facilities The University provides temporary residential facilities at Colombo, Kandy and Matara Regional Centres for a limited number of students attending approved academic activities. Facilities provided by NODES National Online Distance Education Service (NODES) is a unit under Ministry of Higher Education. The NODES has 26 NODES Access Centres called NACs. The main purpose of the NACs is to provide access to all students registered for online programmes offered by all partner institutions of NODES. As OUSL is one of the partners of NODES the students of the faculty have opportunity to access online material through NACs free of charge. Besides, these centres have other facilities, such as video conferencing, (internet, e-mail), photocopying, fax, scanning and printing at a fee. NODES encourages the use of these centres for accessing online material and other activities related to open and distance learning. Twenty out of 26 NACs have been set up within the OUSL Regional and Study Centres covering many districts of the country. Other six centres are located, in the premises of University of Colombo (Weligaththa and Colombo), University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka Institute of Advanced Technological Studies (Badulla and Bandarawela) and Institute of Technology (Katunayake). Laboratories Laboratory facilities for most courses are available only at the Colombo Regional Centre at Nawala. However, laboratory work in the courses up to level 3 and a few higher level courses may be conducted at the Regional Centres and selected Study Centres, if the number of students registered for a particular course for that centre is more than 15. Canteens Food can be purchased from the University canteens at reasonable prices. Canteens are available at Colombo, Kandy and Matara Student Union The Faculty Student Union is elected by and from amongst the students of the Faculty.

Student Commitment If you are looking for an opportunity to learn about something that interests you, an opportunity that you never really had, the OUSL may be the place for you. We would do our best to facilitate your learning, but the hard work is up to you. If you are to make use of this opportunity, you need to be prepared to make some sacrifices. You have to be self-motivated, and be prepared to sacrifice part of your leisure, at least for a few years. If you are motivated to make the best of what is offered, we will attempt to provide you with the means of achieving the highest academic and professional goals, irrespective of your present status. Our programmes of study allow you to build on your present achievements, and advance in your career systematically, as you progress in your learning. It would be a mistake on your part if you expect the OUSL to enable you to gain a qualification without putting in a substantial amount of hard work. Working students may find it difficult to obtain leave of absence from work to attend to some of the compulsory activities that make up a particular course. However, as the calendar giving the attendance requirements is usually announced well in advance, it is possible to select the courses to minimise these problems. You should pay particular attention to this, at the time you register for courses at the beginning of each academic year. In the case of some activities, such as laboratory classes, you may also have a choice in the selection of dates and times. Unfortunately, this is not possible in the case of tests, presentations and examinations, as these activities involve other students as well. The OUSL expects its students to interact closely with the world of work. The fact that the University was primarily established to address the needs of working students cannot 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 money. For example, a student registering for thirty six (36) credits of regular courses per year will need to devote about nine hundred (900) hours of his/her free time for self-study during the academic year. This is about 30 hours a week for 30 weeks (i.e. about 5 hours per day). Those who are unable to find the required time should register for lesser number of credits. Similarly, as the tuition fee is computed based on the number of credits offered, you can plan your selection based on the amount of money you could afford for that particular year. Thus you may follow a programme of study at your own pace depending on time and money available. 8

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 and tuition fee. The Registration fee (of Rs. 400/= for certificate, diploma and undergraduate programmes; Rs. 1000/= for postgraduate programmes) is charged to cover the administrative expenditure involved in student registration. The Facilities fee (of Rs. 1500/=) 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. 25/= per credit) is only charged when exemptions are granted. The Tuition fee depends on the credit rating and the Level of the course offered. The tuition fees applicable for different levels are as given in the following table. Level Tuition fee per credit 1 Rs. 400.00 2 Rs. 400.00 3 Rs. 500.00 4 Rs. 500.00 5 Rs. 1000.00 6 Rs. 1000.00 7 Rs. 3200.00 An Examination fee (Rs. 100/= for certificate, diploma and undergraduate programmes; Rs. 200/= for postgraduate programmes) is charged for students who repeat, resit, or had been absent at the final examination in the year in which they got the eligibility. The fee for each training module for the year 2013/2014 is as given below. Level Fee 3 and 4 Rs. 3000 5 and 6 Rs. 5000 Fee for FEW3001 - Learning to learn at a distance is Rs. 1500/= Fee for MEW3001 - Workshop practice module is Rs. 5000/=. Fee for FEW3102 - Soft skills for personal development is Rs. 1000/= Fee for SSE3101- Social Harmony is Rs. 1000/= Fee for PCU1162 - ICT Skills is Rs. 2400/= (with an additional fee of Rs. 200/= for practical sessions) The Postgraduate Diploma programme and Master of Technology programme consist of 36 credits each. The fee for the Research Project in the Master of Technology programme is Rs. 1000/= per credit. In addition, the students registering for the courses TTJ3146 Fashion illustration I and TTJ4247 Fashion illustration II conducted by the Department of Textile and Apparel Technology are required to pay an additional sum of Rs. 1500/= per course. The various types of fees given above are applicable for the academic year 2013/2014. They may be subject to change in subsequent years. An initial payment, as specified on the initial voucher is paid by the time of registration, and the balance is to be settled at the payment of second instalment about half way into the academic year. Scholarships The University has a limited number of bursaries, including Mahapola Scholarships, and university bursaries, to help students who are in need of financial help to continue their studies. 9

Unfortunately, above mentioned bursaries are not available during the first year of study at the University. Only students who have demonstrated a certain amount of commitment to their studies and achieved a measure of success during the first year are considered for bursaries. Students will be given guidelines for these Scholarships with the scholarship application form at the time of re-registration. The completed application forms should be submitted on or before the given date to the Assistant Registrar, Faculty of Technology. In addition to the above, software companies provide some scholarships and also placements in the industry itself to work while you are studying. These will be available for the students who are in the Computer stream and will be selected by the company through an interview. Students who perform well in completing their courses at levels 3 and 4 will be nominated for these scholarships and industrial placements.

Postgraduate Degrees Research 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 disciplines. All research students are initially required to register for a 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. Stand Alone Courses Sometimes it may be required by some to follow a few courses for the benefit of their industrial career development. If you are looking for such courses the Faculty of Technology has a series of such courses covering many areas of study. You can register for these courses without registering for a particular programme. You can register for a maximum of 18 credits of courses in one academic year and if you later decide to enter a regular programme then you may seek exemptions from the courses you have passed as Stand Alone. However, you will then have to satisfy the admission requirements for such programmes. All the courses that are offered by the Faculty of Technology are available as Stand Alone courses. The lists of available courses are given in pages 35 to 39 and 53 to 56. Please note that the students require to possess the Prerequisites in respect of each of the courses or equivalent qualifications or knowledge, to register for the individual Stand Alone courses. In the case of PG Diploma in Construction Management, the Prerequisites for Stand Alone Courses are indicated in page 61. The tuition fee for each course is three times that of the corresponding course in the regular programme. Please also note that students registering for regular programmes cannot register for courses as Stand Alone courses at the same time. 64
