Introduction
In the modern-days, development of a country mainly depends on the development of
the industries. The development of these sectors significantly depends on the standard
of technical education nurtured by the universities and the technical institutes of the
country. It is observed that most of the developed countries maintain a strong
relationship between the universities and the industries. It is believed that the
universities are the gateway of new technologies. Universities develop new
technologies and by co-operating with industries they implement these technologies to
raise the standard and effectiveness of the industry. Universities take the
responsibilities to provide technical human resources for the industries of any country.
The Program of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is one of the newly
opened programs in the School of Engineering in Wolaita Sodo University. The
Program has started enrolling students since September 2011. Although the
commencement of the Program is in its inception period, it is committed into bringing
up talented, knowledgeable and professional workforce.
The core strategy of the Department is to pursue its vision and mission to enhance its
research, linkage with industry, academic and scholarly activities and become a center
of excellence for its programs.
Vision Statement
The ECE Program aspires to excel in teaching, research, and industry
linkage/consultancy at a national level as well as regionally and also in producing
competent engineers within the field of electrical, electronic, Communication, and
computer engineering to solve the problem of our country and bring about
growth.
Realization of this vision requires focusing on specializations relevant to the need
of the country; namely, Communication, Electrical Power, Computer, Control,
and Microelectronics engineering. This in turn requires institutional
reorganization such as upgrading to faculty level where each discipline may have
its own Program.
The attainment of this vision will require hard work on the part of School/
Program, staff, and students. This effort will require collaboration with the
administration, alumni, industrial friends, different organizations and other
universities.

they will join, a 2-credit course is given to introduce the engineering profession as a
whole and also to give the students the opportunity to deal with the basic technical
skills from the wood work, metal work, electrical work and masonry work. After the
assessment semester, each department offers a series of practice-oriented courses such
as workshops and semester projects.
b)
Workshop Courses
The students, during the assessment semester, will have the chance to hands-on
exercises dealing with basic metalwork, woodwork, masonry, and electricity. This will
help them know the basic workshop activities and also choose their field of study from
the available engineering disciplines.

In industry internship students must be attached with an industry for one regular
semester in order to get real world experience in their field of study, which
compliments their education.
General
The pre-requisite for registration in the industry attachment program is successful
completion of all semesters before the internship program. At the end of their
internship, the student and the internship coach at the industry have to submit a report
on the attachment program, which is evaluated at the departmental committee with
pass or fail grade. Students who cannot obtain a pass mark for the internship program
will not be allowed to register for the next semester. They will be advised to repeat the
semester with the next batch of students.
The condition while undergoing the internship, the daily and monthly working times
follow the systems practiced in the respective industry for the upper middle-level
management. Specifically, they follow the system practiced in the respective company
that hosts the student. As a rule, the entire internship period has to be spent in a single
company; a change of company during the internship period will only be permitted
under extraordinary circumstances. In such a case, the decision is with the Faculty
Internship Coordinator.
A seminar program, organized by the Schools Internship Coordinator will accompany
the internship semester. Participation in the seminar program is compulsory
(mandatory).
At the end of the internship, the student submits to the Schools Internship
Coordinator a comprehensive report, duly endorsed by the students host company.
The report is assigned 30 ECTS. The required format and assessment of the report is
detailed in the Curriculum Handbook for the Program. The report will be assessed by
specifically assigned internship program evaluator (or university professors/lecturers).
Objectives
The internship program has the following objective(s):
Expansion of knowledge and acquaintance with industry in the field of
Electrical and Computer Engineering.
Consolidation and deepening of existing knowledge in the Electrical and
Computer Engineering design and construction industry.

Hands-on training in practical skills typical for the industry. Typically, this
would be participation individually or within a (task) group in real
assignments/projects, which entail the application of knowledge and skills
attained so far during the studies at University and aiming at developing
special skills related to the industrial practice in one or several of the following
fields (depending on the type of industry and company profile):
o Design and construction.
o Laboratory (quality monitoring) work.
o Task management (labor management, logistics).
o Business management, Marketing.
Academic Requirements
The academic requirements for entry into the internship (industry-placement semester)
is the successful completion of the holistic examination, which encompasses all parts
of the study program completed until the end of the 6th semester.
As is indicated in the description of the Internship Module, the Internship program
creates the opportunity for the students to familiarize themselves with the Industry.
The office should look for interested employers form the private and public sectors. It
should also create permanent contact with the Construction Industry and with the
newly emerging Automotive and Textile Industry. The private sectors involve among
others consulting offices and construction firms. The public sector involves the Design
Enterprises established in the Country. The Duration of the internship should be one
semester and it must not necessarily carry any credits. However, it should be
mandatory.
Proof of Finishing an Internship Semester
In order to acknowledge an internship semester, the student must submit a written
report to the Internship Coordinator. This must be signed by the students host
company. This report is written solely by the student and contains information on the
working-out of larger or smaller themes, with which the student is confronted during
the work in the company. It can include literature study. The report must document the
areas in which the student has worked and the specific knowledge obtained as a result.
For the internship, the host company must issue a certificate on the industry project.
19

Department Placement
After successful completion of the orientation semester (1st semester), students will
choose academic programs in engineering according to their desired field of study. In
view of the high number of applicants, admission to the Electrical and Computer
Engineering Program is usually on competitive basis based on academic performance.
38
September 2012
Examination System
Most courses will be assessed by a combination of written and oral examinations.
Reports on project work should also be part and parcel of the assessment metrics. The
design activities shall be assessed entirely by course work and this often shall include
assessment of oral presentations.
According to the revised curriculum, in addition to regular quizzes, home works, and
assignments, the students will undertake two major exams for most courses, the first at
the middle (Mid-term Exam) and the second at the end of each semester (Final Exam).
Some senior courses may not have Mid-term Exams; instead students will be
evaluated based on project work. In addition, the students will take a holistic
examination covering all basic study modules before they leave for their internship.
In the final year, students should be required to present and defend their B.Sc. thesis
work in front of examining professors and interested audience.
