Message of 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 24 administrative divisions. The University also provides its
services through a network of 08 regional centres & 18 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 their 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 of the Dean
Let me welcome you as one of the prospective student of the Faculty of Engineering Technology of the
Open University of Sri Lanka.
The Faculty of Engineering Technology is in existence as one of the engineering faculties under the
University Grants Commission almost 30 years and has already produced large number of graduates,
diplomats and certificate holders in Engineering and Industry related disciplines. Unlike other
conventional universities after registering with us you will follow study programmes in distance
mode. As we are committed to the open and distance education concept even if you are employed it
will be not a barrier for you to acquire higher educational qualifications. The uniqueness of our system
is that you can enter to the programme at different levels based on your qualification and go up the
ladder up-to the postgraduate level. But, as you are going to follow engineering or industry related
programme, you need to attend certain academic activities where face to face learning is involved.
Being a pioneer of open and distance education we have introduced pedagogical methods and tools
that help you to learn effectively and efficiently through the distance mode. Faculty has taken
maximum effort to deliver the courses of our programmes through the regional network which is
spread throughout the country. This enables you to participate in many of the academic activities
without coming to the central campus situated at Nawala.
As per the decision of the University Senate the faculty will redefine its credit rating as per Sri Lanka
Qualification Framework (SLQF) guidelines and will in future comply with SLQF requirements.
Therefore, at present the Faculty is taking steps to revise the curricula to comply with SLQF
requirement. More details of these changes will be notified to you in due course.
This Guidebook provides you more details about the study programmes of the Faculty, facilities
available, fee structure and other relevant information.
I am proud to state that almost all our graduates are working as engineers both in state and private
sector and some of them have obtained their postgraduate degrees in well recognised universities of
the world. So, I am sure that by deciding to follow a programme of the Faculty of Engineering
Technology at the Open University you will select a right choice and your career prospective as a
professional in the field of engineering will be a success.
Wish you very best!

Section I - General Information

massive infrastructure, the University has over
35,000 students with extremely varied profiles,
spread throughout the island. About 70% of
these students are employed.
1. The University
The OUSL offers its own programmes of study

leading to Certificates, Diplomas, Higher
Diplomas, Honours Degrees and Postgraduate
Diplomas and Masters Degrees. In addition to
these main academic programmes, Stand Alone
courses are offered. The OUSL is also fully
equipped to support postgraduate research
studies leading to Master of Philosophy (MPhil)
and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degrees.
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) of Sri Lanka. Owing to the
nature of its teaching techniques and the
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.
Any person who is above 18 years of age can
apply to enrol at the OUSL.
2. 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, online learning facilities and audiovisual aids. The Faculty of Engineering
Technology is one of the pioneers, among all
academic institutions in the world, in the
delivery of engineering programmes in distance
education mode.
fieldwork, and seminars. Laboratory work and

fieldwork form an integral part of most courses
in technology and are compulsory. Prescheduled 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 acceptable level
of fluency in English is expected from our
students.
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 selfassessment questions, which help the student to
develop analytical skills and independent
thought. Printed material is supplemented by
audio-visual material, online classes, face to
face discussions/clarification classes (DaySchools), tutor clinics, laboratory work,
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 Honours 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

and Final Examination. For the courses offered

by the Faculty, these components carry equal
weight. Therefore, students must effectively
involve in continuous learning throughout the
academic year. Since a fair proportion of the
activities used to impart knowledge in distance
education involve self study, success is only
possible based on motivation and commitment.
may have to be scheduled during weekdays.

Since the Activity Diary 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.
A student failing to obtain the minimum CA

mark stipulated for a course will not be eligible
to sit the final examination for that course, will
be considered as a repeat student and will have
to re-register for that course in a subsequent
year by re-paying the tuition fee. Repeat
students will not be eligible for a grade higher
than C grade for the repeat course, depending
on the programme. Therefore it is strongly
recommended that a student only register for
the number of courses which they can cope
within their respective time availability.
A student who obtains the minimum CA mark
for a particular course but fails to obtain the
minimum pass mark at the final examination
will be considered as a re-sit student. Re-sit
students are not required to re-register for that
particular course, but should sit and pass the
Final examination within two subsequent
academic years. Re-sit students can obtain only
a pass grade (grade C) for the particular course.
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.
Important Notes:
1. The Technology Engineering Degree has
been renamed as the Bachelor of
Technology Honours in Engineering from
the academic year 2013/2014 and this
Award is equivalent to the Bachelor of
Technology (Engineering) Degree.
A student is required to obtain a minimum of

40% marks 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.
The following will be implemented from this

academic year, 2016/2017.
2. Students who wish to sit for the Final
Examination of any course is required to
apply for the same.
The following will be implemented from next
academic year, 2017/2018.
3. A student may apply and sit for the Final
Examination of any course irrespective of
the CA mark.
4. A CA mark obtained for a course is only
valid for the academic year it was
obtained and the subsequent year.
5. To successfully complete a course a
student needs to attain above the
minimum CA mark for the course and
pass the final examination.
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 mark of any course depends on the
performance at both Continuous Assessment

3. Structure of the Curriculum and Courses

The curriculum of the Faculty of Engineering
Technology ensures that the students receive an
academically as well as professionally
recognised qualification in a particular field.
However, it still allows the 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.
spend about 150 (= 625) 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 forty
five (45) credits, that is about 1125 (=45x25)
effective hours.
Thus, an average student offering the
maximum allowable credits in an academic
year would be expected to spend about 38
effective hours for studies during a week (i.e.
assuming 30 weeks of study in an academic
year). Therefore, a student should carefully
consider the time availability before registering
for larger amounts of course credits.
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.

Study Programmes
Study Programmes are made up of different

course combinations. For the award of a
qualification through a programme such as a
Certificate, Higher Diploma or a Honours
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.
Training
Practical skills are an essential part of

Engineering Education, and are given due place
in our study programmes. Students who are
following Honours Degree programme should
complete relevant training modules as given in
the Course Information Section.
ii) Minimum stipulated number of Category

Credits required for an award should be
fulfilled by the student under each Course
Category at identified Levels.
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 Honours Degree
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.
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

5. Student Commitment
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.
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.
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.
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.
For example, a student registering for forty

five (45) credits of regular courses per year
will need to devote about two thousand
twenty five (2025) hours of his/her free time
for self-study during the academic year. This
is about 68 hours a week for 30 weeks (i.e.
about 9 hours per day). Those who are unable
to find the required time should register for
lesser number of credits.
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.
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.

6. 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.

The Tuition fee depends on the Credit rating
and the Level of the offered course. These rates
are applicable for the Certificate in Industrial
Studies programme, Bachelor of Technology
Honours in Engineering Degree programme,
programme and Postgraduate and Masters
degree programmes. The tuition fees applicable
for different levels are as given in the following
table.
The various types of fees given here are

applicable for the academic year 2016/2017.
They are liable to be revised for subsequent
academic years.
An initial payment, as specified on the initial
voucher should be paid by the applicant at 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
to their studies and achieved a measure of

success during the first year are considered for
bursaries.
The University has a limited number of

bursaries, including University Bursaries and
University
Enhancement
Bursaries
and
Mahapola Scholarships to help students who
are in need of financial help to continue their

Under the Philosophy of Engineering stream

the Department offers courses at Diploma,
Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels to
raise awareness of students on a range of
themes such as the connectedness of
technology, society and the environment,
linkages of technology with development,
nature of science and mathematics, history of
technology within local and global contexts,
opportunities and constraints of technology,
major social and environmental debates in
relation to technology, etc.
The Department of Mathematics and

Philosophy of Engineering provides you
knowledge and skills to enhance your capacity
of working as engineers and technologists
effectively in complex societies where
technology constantly influences and get
influenced by social, environmental, cultural
and economic factors. The Department offers
courses under two streams of studies, namely
mathematics and philosophy of engineering.
Mathematics courses offered by the
Department are designed to provide the
mathematics knowledge required by all
students following programmes offered by the
Faculty of Engineering Technology at all
levels, as well as to provide lifelong
mathematical skills required as a citizen of the
world.

[Extracts from relevant Rules and Regulations applicable to the above awards Only the relevant information is
given below]
Scheme of Assessment
2.1
The assessment of a student in any course shall consist of two components, viz.: Continuous
Assessment and Final Examination.
2.1.1
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.
2.1.2
A student shall be eligible to appear at the Final Examination of any course only if
he/she has been awarded a minimum of 40% for the Continuous Assessment
component of that course. The eligibility thus obtained to sit for the Final Examination
of a course shall be valid for a period stipulated by the Senate.
2.1.3
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 F.
Such a student may repeat that course by re-registering subject to section 2.1.6.
2.1.4
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;
Z=
85 < Z
0.5 X + 0.5Y , if Y 40
Y , if Y < 40
: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.

For courses offered by other faculties of the Open University of Sri Lanka the grades
awarded shall be in accordance with the rules pertaining to the scheme of assessment of
such courses.
2.1.5
A student who is awarded a grade C-, D+, D or E for a particular course cannot count
that course towards his/her credit requirements unless he/she re-sits the Final
Examination on a subsequent occasion and obtains a pass grade.
2.1.6
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.
2.1.7
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 or
51
before a date stipulated by the Faculty 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.
2.1.8
2.2
A student who is eligible to sit for the Final Examination in a course (under section
2.1.2) 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.
The assessment of training modules shall be carried out in accordance with the Faculty
approved guidelines, by an Assessment Panel appointed by the Faculty.
2.2.1
A student who is successful at the Final Assessment shall be awarded Pass in

respect of that training module.
2.2.2
A student who is unsuccessful at the Final Assessment shall be considered as Fail,

and he/she shall be required either repeat the training modules or meet the
requirements as recommended by the Examiner(s), and obtain a Pass.
Awards
There shall be two awards in the Programme of Study as referred to in section 3.1 Bachelor of
Technology Honours in Engineering Degree, and 3.2 Higher Diploma in an approved
technology discipline.
3.1

If a student fails to satisfy 3.1.1 within the stipulated maximum period shall be
awarded the Honours Degree without a Class.
3.1.5
The Board of Examiners shall also recommend the award of medals and prizes to the
Senate.
3.1.6
Grade Point Average (GPA) shall be computed by considering the courses at levels 5
and 6 for a student who has satisfied the conditions for the award of the Degree of
Bachelor of Technology Honours in Engineering in accordance with Regulation 3.1,
in line with the procedure set out in sections 3.1.6(a), 3.1.6 (b), and 3.1.6 (c).
3.1.6(a)
The courses at levels 5 and 6 that proceed towards the calculation of credits for the
award of the Degree of Bachelor of Technology Honours in Engineering, in
accordance with Regulation 3.1, shall be allotted Grade Point Values (GPV) as
stipulated below.
52
2.0 points per credit for grade C

2.3 points per credit for C+

6.5 Postgraduate Research Degrees

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
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 students 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.

The course credits of the old curricula are transferred to course credits of the new courses according
the Table given below. If the course credits are not equivalent, an adjustment is made by adding
and/or deducting credits as the case may be, at appropriate levels and categories for some courses.
This correction is indicated by a code (known as virtual code) beginning with letters VC followed by
category letter, level and one third of the credit rating. The letter F is used to denote negative credits.
In the virtual code F is equal to 1.
The grades of the new courses are determined as given below depending upon the type of conversion.
However, old training course/s shall be converted to relevant training modules/s and such training
modules shall be given a Pass irrespective of the grade/s of the old training course/s.
