Message from the Vice Chancellor
It is with much pleasure that I convey this message to you, the prospective students of the Faculty of
Engineering Technology of the Open University of Sri Lanka. The programmes offered by the Faculty
of Engineering Technology are yet another proof of the commitment of the OUSL to enhance access to
high quality and affordable education. The Open University of Sri Lanka is proud to note that we are
the first university in the world to offer fully-fledged engineering degrees using the ODL
methodologies, without compromising on the quality and standards of engineering education.
Due to the nature of the teaching methodology followed by the University and the available
infrastructure, the university serves a large student population around the entire country through our
network of Regional and Study Centers located around the country.
The mission of the University is to enhance access to high quality, affordable and relevant education
through ODL methodologies and ensure life-long learning opportunities to face challenges in a
knowledge society. In order to achieve this mission, the university adopts many strategies, always
keeping its students as central focus.
The university offers more than fifty different study programmes through twenty-five departments
belonging to five faculties. It also has number of Centres and Units to facilitate student support,
research, consultancy, liaison with the industry, staff training, quality assurance, etc.
Keeping par with the technological developments that are taking place in the education sector, the

through modern day technology, including providing online support through our Learner Management
System, Video conferencing by linking the main campus to number of regional and study centres, online
testing, etc.
The university also offers diverse types of scholarships to support the students who are in financial
need. We continue to enhance our scholarship fund so that we would be able to provide scholarships to
as many students as possible.
I sincerely hope that as a prospective student you will be able to identify a study programme that is suitable
to your prospective career.
Wishing you all the very Best!

Message from the Registrar
It is a great pleasure to issue a message for the student guidebook of the Faculty of Engineering
Technology of the Open University of Sri Lanka, which is one of the leading faculties offering
Engineering Degree Programmes in Sri Lanka.
The Open University of Sri Lanka was established on 22.07.1980 by the Gazette Extraordinary No. 87/10
of May, 08, 1980 by Hon. J R Jayawardane, the then Minister of Higher Education.
Presently, the Open University of Sri Lanka has five Faculties namely, Faculty of Engineering
Technology, Faculty of Natural Sciences, Faculty of Education, Faculty of Humanities & Social Sciences,
Faculty of Health Sciences and 33 administrative divisions. The University also provides its services
through a network of 09 regional centres & 19 study centres, in different parts of the country.
The University administration assists the students in numerous ways by providing materials, financial
related matters, conducting of final examinations and issuing certificates, student welfare, providing
infrastructure facilities etc. With all this support, I believe that anyone who wishes to pursue studies in
open distance learning mode can accomplish his/her higher educational qualifications successfully.
Wish you all the very best with your studies at the Faculty of Engineering Technology of the OUSL.
Mrs. W. L. Vindya Jayasena

Registrar

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. Time has proven that the graduates of the Faculty are
working very successfully in the relevant industries both locally and abroad.

approved Technology Discipline
The Bachelor of Technology Honours in Engineering degree is designed carefully according to the
requirements of the Sri Lanka Qualification Framework (SLQF), specifying minimum and maximum
limits for each category of courses, to ensure that the programme is balanced, and that it meets the
academic requirements of major Engineering Institutions, both in Sri Lanka and overseas (e.g. The
Institution of Engineers, Sri Lanka).
The Faculty expects a student who is awarded the Bachelor of Technology Honours in Engineering
degree to be able to:
• Develop creative and analytical ability and innovative thinking in engineering,
• Address social, environmental and economic issues related to engineering and
• Access and utilise engineering knowledge to the benefit of the society.
It is also possible for a student to obtain a Higher Diploma in an approved Technology discipline after
successful completion of a required combination of courses and credit requirements as given under
section 4.5. The Higher Diploma is one of the main avenues to enter middle-level technical grades within
the engineering disciplines.
The Faculty expects a student who has been awarded the Higher Diploma in Technology to be:
• Competent in the application of the well-known principles of engineering technology,
• Aware of social, environmental and economic issues related to technology and
• Self-motivated and capable of furthering career advancement.
The entry qualifications to the programme at level 3 are given under section 4.4. Lateral entry at a higher
level is also possible with higher qualifications (e.g. Diploma in Technology, NDT, NDES, etc.),
provided the minimum entry qualifications in section 4.4 are satisfied.

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.

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
