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 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) is one of the largest departments in the College of Engineering and Technology in Jimma University. The Department has been serving the country and also advanced the Universitys reputation. It has trained a significant number of Electrical and Computer Engineers in the country who are playing key roles in the various sectors of development in the country. 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, thereby improving its eminence in national and international rankings. Vision Statement The ECE Department 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, 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, Electronic Communication Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering, Computer Engineering, Industrial Control Engineering, and Microelectronics Engineering. This in turn requires
institutional reorganization such as upgrading to faculty level where each discipline may have its own department. The attainment of this vision will require hard work on the part of Faculty/Department, staff, and students. This effort will require collaboration with the administration, alumni, industrial friends, different organizations and other universities.
Mission Statement
The ECE Department is preparing young men and women to lead productive and rewarding professional lives at the forefront of Engineering in the 21st century and pursues research and linkage with the industry to advance the state-of-the-art in electrical and computer engineering education.
At present, the Department is running a B.Sc. degree program in a unified Electrical and Computer Engineering program. In addition, the Department is running a continuing education program that leads to B.Sc. degree. The graduates of the Department have profound knowledge in basic science, mathematics, social science and the major disciplines: Communications, Power Engineering, Control Systems, and Computer Engineering (Hardware & Software). Electrical and Computer Engineering plays an important role in the development of the country. The development of the energy, communication, industrial and commercial sectors need well-qualified Electrical and Computer Engineers. Our graduates are working all over the country in a variety of jobs. They work in installation, design, testing, research and sales of electrical devices and systems. Many of them are engaged in Ethiopian Electrical Power Corporation, in Ethiopian Telecommunication Corporation, in Ethiopian Airlines and in various other industrial and business organizations. It is being observed that there is a widespread and fast change in the application and development in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the country and the world. Therefore, there is a need for revising the currently running program with respect to the national and international situation. The Department felt that much is expected from it to 6
bring about changes in the field of Electrical Engineering, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in the country. That is why the Ministry of Capacity Building initiated the revision of the curriculum in 2005. Todays electrical and computer engineers must be able to find solutions to new complex and challenging technical problems. They must have strong scientific, technical and managerial skills and be able to integrate technical concepts with practical applications. This professional profile is prepared for curriculum revision. In the new curriculum more attention has been given to: Current technological advancement in the area, The demand from the industries (need of the country), Increasing the linkage between the industry and the faculty, Enhancing the innovative and problem solving skill of the graduates.
Taking into consideration the requirements of modern industries the department has realized that there is a need to implement the following five specializations (streams) in the present undergraduate engineering course. Communication Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, Computer Engineering, Industrial Control and Instrumentation Engineering, and Microelectronics Engineering.
The coverage of these specialized areas will be given during the last three or four semesters of the present B.Sc. engineering course.
History of the Department

The background information on the developments of former Electrical Engineering (EE) and present Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) programs are as follows.
Earliest EE Programs The Faculty of Technology

Jimma University, the Countrys first innovative Community Based Education oriented institution of higher learning was established in 1983 as Jimma Institute of Health Sciences. In 1999 it, embracing Jimma College of Agriculture, was upgraded to Jimma University by the Federal Democratic Republic Government of Ethiopia opening new fields of study, other than the health sciences streams, such as Faculty of Technology, Faculty of Business & Economics and further extended its number of faculties by launching Faculty of Education, Faculty of Law, Faculty of Natural and Information Sciences and Faculty of Social and Humanities in the following years. The Faculty of Technology was opened in September 1997 under Jimma Institute of Health Sciences. It comprised three departments: Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. The establishment of the Faculty is generally aimed at acquiring skilled man power in each category.
The First EE Program

The first curriculum of the department which was developed in 1997 was adapted mainly from Technology Faculty of Addis Ababa University. This curriculum used to take five years of study.
The Revised EE Program

This first curriculum was revised in 2003 due to the nationwide
implementation of a new education policy which reduced the duration of the program to 4 years. This revised curriculum was developed to address the change in education policy and the need of the market by incorporating new courses which were not present in the first curriculum. 8
Start and Early Needs for New Directions in Engineering Education

Starting from the earliest historical backgrounds, the Electrical Engineering (EE) programs of study of Faculty of Technology, JU has grown and expanded from basic power and electronics engineering into five streams: Electronic Communication Engineering, Power and Energy Engineering, Control and Instrumentation Engineering, Computer Engineering, and Microelectronics Engineering.
Academic Background of Students

Ethiopian schooling is up to 10th grade with a national examination at the end of the 10th grade. Then students with good passing grade in the national exam join two-year preparatory study to join higher learning institutions. After completing the preparatory, there is a national examination again. Those who passed the national exam join Universities. In the new curriculum, students who join the Faculty of Technology (now College of Engineering and Technology, Jimma University further study for one semester as pre-engineering students. In this assessment semester they are more prepared academically as well as psychologically for University education and life. They take basic science, mathematics, and fundamental engineering courses with some humanity and social science courses. At the end of the semester, these students take examinations on all subjects and who successfully passed the exam have the possibility to join the Department.
Intake Capacity
At the moment there are total of 460 students in the Department. The following table shows the number of students in the regular and extension undergraduate programs.

Bachelor of Science Program

Rationale of the Curriculum
Engineering in general and electrical/electronic engineering in particular is a highly dynamic field of study in that the rapid development of the technology doesnt allow leaving academic curricula untouched for a long time. Thus, to minimize the gap between the state-of-the-art and the teaching process and maintain the relevance and educational standard, there is always a need for curricula review. The basic rationale for all of the Departments programs are the prevailing conditions in the Country with respect to the needs for professionals in this area and the future trends that are developing in the demands for the profession. The Department has been keenly following the developments in this regard both within the Country and internationally and the following provide some of the major facts and observations on which these programs premised. Over the years the Department has trained students the undergraduate instructions have followed both the national needs and the rapid growth of the discipline - and have now reached a point where graduates of its undergraduate program are equipped with sufficient theoretical and practical skills that would enable them to be engaged in work in the Electrical/Electronic sector of the national economy. Ethiopia, like many of the developing countries, is essentially a user of products of Electrical Engineering technology. So far, the undergraduate program is designed so as to meet the needs of the main employers of the graduates in the operation and maintenance of electrical and electronic equipment and machines. To meet these needs the program is made broad enough to cover most major areas of electrical engineering such as power, electronics, communications, control, and computers without any particular specialization. But it has
17
now become necessary to look ahead to the future needs of the country and provide educational means to meet these needs. It is still logical to maintain the broad nature of the undergraduate curricula that affords the graduates versatility in terms of employment. But it has now become necessary to look ahead to the future needs of the Country and provide educational means to meet these needs. The current revision of the curricula has therefore sought to address these through strengthening all streams. With the advent of microelectronics, computers and computerbased equipment have found wider application in industry and other sectors. The declining prices for these equipments have also made them affordable and therefore accessible to large segments in industry. Computer applications have now been diversified and the traditional use of the computer in data processing and other computational application are only a small part of these diverse applications. The convergence of computers & communication technologies has made it imperative to provide education that imports knowledge & skill in these two fields concurrently. The Electrical Engineering Department is well placed to offer such a program through its currently revised programs. This newly revised ECE degree program is a 5-year program, including industry internship semester, which prepares graduates for careers as professional engineers in such areas as communications, power system, computer, industrial control, and microelectronics. The training provided should be versatile and enables graduates to work in research, design, development, manufacturing, quality control, marketing, sales and technical support, and as entrepreneurs, consultants and teachers. The aim is to produce electrical engineers who are flexible across various disciplines; and are able to apply their knowledge and skills to lead multi-disciplinary teams to solve the increasingly complex problems of the industry and technology.
Structure of the Curriculum

The new ECE curriculum focuses on broad-based training to provide flexibility of career choices and focused training to provide 18
competence in particular electrical engineering profession. It finds balance between breadth and depth to provide a solid foundation in the basic engineering, mathematics, electrical engineering on one hand, and comprehensive training in humanities and management on the other. The assessment semester is intended to consolidate the students' educational background for higher learning and further help them to adapt to the system. In the five consecutive semesters, after the common assessment semester, all the students take courses mainly in the core electrical engineering category. This provides them with a broad background for all areas of electrical and electronic engineering. At the end of the sixth semester, the students will be taking a holistic evaluation that requires an overview of all the courses taken to make sure that they are ready for the focus area studies and to indicate inclination of students towards the focus area. In the final two years, students are given the opportunity to focus on one of the five areas, namely communication engineering, electrical power engineering, computer engineering, industrial control engineering and microelectronics engineering as shown in the flowchart. The students are placed to the streams based on their inclination, the holistic exam result and the cumulative grade point (CGPA).

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 new Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) curriculum in the Electrical and Computer Engineering program requires a one-semester internship (industry placement) after the successful completion of the holistic examination given at the end of the sixth semester of the program. During the internship, the daily and monthly working times follow the systems practiced in the respective industry for the upper middle-level management. Specifically, 25
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 University-Industry Linkage (UIL) Officer. A seminar program, organized by the UIL Officer will accompany the internship semester. Participation in the seminar program is compulsory (mandatory). At the end of the internship, the student submits to the UIL Officer 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 department. 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. Participation in the development, manufacture and assembly of products typical for the industry. Involvement in the planning, steering and management of the design & construction processes. 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. 26
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 Committee proposes that an office be establishes with the mandate of organizing the Internship for the students. The office should look for interested employers form the private and public sectors. It should also create permanent contact with the Construction 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. At the end of the internship the student has to make a presentation (final seminar) on the results of the industry project. The internship semester is granted 30 ECTS points if the student has successfully passed the semester.
27
Cost
All matters related to the cost of the internship process will follow Government legislations. The following items should be included in the budget preparation: Insurance (accident during work & trips to/from work) Long-distance travel cost (if company is far from University, e.g. another region) Daily travel to/from work Travel to/from University (e.g. from location of company) to attend the mandatory seminar program organized by the University (if any) Accommodation, if the workplace is far from the University Cost for printing the comprehensive report Remuneration for the internship from the company, if any.
e) B.Sc. Thesis
The B.Sc. Thesis is the final element of the B.Sc. study program. The main goal of this course is to develop the individual creative and problem solving ability of graduates. Students will receive an individual project specification from various areas and work them out individually under the supervision of faculty advisor or/and professional advisor from the industry. The candidate use all the theoretical knowledge and practical skill he obtained during his/her study to solve the engineering problem in a scientific way which includes problem analysis, solution, verification, implementation, documentation, and presentation. B.Sc. Thesis is defended in front of the official committee at the end of the study.
28
The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS)

The conventional credit system used in higher education systems is mainly based on student contact hours in class and laboratory sessions. A new system of credit system is introduced that takes the extra hours a student spends for the course in addition to lectures, tutorials, and laboratory practical. In ECTS credits are values, allocated to course units, to describe the student workload required to complete a course including attending lectures, seminars, independent and private study, preparation of projects and examinations. In this revised curriculum, the ECTS equivalent of the old credit system has been estimated and shown for each course in the course breakdown. In ECTS, one credit stands for 25-30 hours of work activity. A semester study within this system is set at 30 ECTS points (750-900 hours).
29
Program Composition
The total credit hour requirement for graduation in any one of the streams is 158 (300ECTS) of which 105 credits (180ECTS) are covered during the first six common semesters composed of courses from the three basic categories: Humanity and social science, Scientific and engineering fundamentals and Core electrical engineering. The remaining credit hours, i.e., 53 credit hours (120ECTS), are given during the last four focus area semesters which consists of Focus area courses, Internship and B.Sc. Thesis. The categories are summarized in the following table.

Students Admission or Legibility Criteria to the Program

Admissions to all regular undergraduate programs are processed through the Ministry of Education (MoE) of the Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia. This is currently true for all public Higher Education Institutes across the whole nation. Admissions to the continuing education program (CEP) are processed through the Facultys registrar office based on the criteria set by the University.
Admission to Regular Program

Students who have successfully completed the 10 plus 2 years preparatory secondary education and have secured a minimum cutoff point with high scores in Physics and Mathematics are eligible to join the regular undergraduate B.Sc. degree program in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Depending on available spaces, diploma graduates from TVET (Technical Vocational Education and Training) in the fields of Electrical and Computer Engineering will be admitted based on grades on competitive basis. Applicants with a minimum cutoff point and with high scores in Physics and Mathematics in foreign countries examinations equivalent to the 10+2 preparatory program are also eligible. The equivalence is determined by department.
Admission to Continuing Education Program

The criteria set for admission to the regular program will be employed as the criteria for admission to the continuing education program. Candidates who are diploma graduates from an engineering faculty, TVET or similar recognized college in the fields of Electrical and Computer Engineering with a minimum cutoff point will be admitted based on space availability, and competitive basis. Limited numbers of junior staff such as technical assistants in relevant field 41
may be admitted each year based on non-competitive basis provided that he/she: a) has served the University for a minimum of 2 consecutive years. b) meet the minimum admission requirement set for the program. c) obtain letter of recommendation from the Head of the Department and approval the College Academic Commission and consequently, letter of Admission from the Universitys Registrar. d) sign an undertaking to serve the University after graduation, at least two years of service for one complete year of study.
Department Placement
After successful completion of the orientation semester (1st semester), students will choose academic departments according to their desired field of study. In view of the high number of applicants, admission to the Electrical and Computer Engineering department is usually on competitive basis based on academic performance. 20% of the total available places shall be reserved for females in addition to their right to compete in the 80% places. The department admits on average 150 students every year.
Teaching-Learning Methods and Materials

The core philosophy of the teaching-learning process would be focused at producing a graduate who is sensitized towards community problems and who can bring about a palpable change employable problem solver through knowledge application in the real life setting tuned towards continuous self learning, and geared up to meet challenges and to carry forward the task of industrial and national development.
Methodology
The teaching-learning methods to be adopted, for the transfer and/or acquisition of knowledge and skill development includes o Classroom Lectures backed up by Course-Work Projects, Tutorials and Assignments, o Lectures by Industry professionals and resource persons on a periodic basis 42
o Interactive based Blended E-Learning and other such self learning modules, o Workshop Practice and Laboratory Exercises, o Practical Demonstrations, o Audio-Visual teaching materials, o Cut-Sectional Model Studies, o Wall mounted display charts o Field visits related to community development/intervention o Industrial visits. o Practical and development oriented design projects o Individual and group seminars/Presentations o Group tasks/discussions/Case studies o Brain storming sessions o Assembling/disassembling of real world prototypes Taking a cue from the dictum of learning which says You may hear and forget, you may see and remember but you do and learn, action oriented and student-centered learning would be emphasized as the modus operandi while underlining the significance of inducing curiosity for continuous self learning as the catalyst for effective assimilation of knowledge and its application in concrete situations.
Tools
o Black boards o White boards o Over-head Projectors o LCD Projectors o Audio-visual equipment o ICT related peripherals and software 43
Most of the lectures requiring graphical display of constructional features in minute detail shall be conducted using LCD projectors. Animation is to be employed where applicable for better impact and visualization. Text books and references are available in the Technology Faculty library. A computer center of the department having a modest number of computers is available for any problem solving that requires computers. A design room with 40 computers and the requisite software shall be established during implementation.
Skills to be developed in addition to technical core competencies

Due emphasis would be given in the teaching-learning process, not only towards the building of technical and professional core competencies but also for imparting and developing the following: o Practical problem solving skills, o Analytical and modeling skills, o Computer-related skills o Reasoning skills, o Fault diagnosis-repair and maintenance skills, o Innovative product design and development skills, o Drafting skills o Reporting /Communication skills o Managerial/Organizational skills o Behavioral and interpersonal skills
Addressing learning needs of all students

An objective of education should be to help students build their skills in both their preferred and less preferred modes of learning. Learning style models that categorize these modes provide good frame works for designing instruction in engineering education with the desired breadth. Four different learning style models like; 44
JU Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering o The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), o Kolbs Learning Style Model (KLSM), o Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) and
o Felder-Silverman Learning Style Model (FSLM) have been used effectively in engineering education in this regard. A learning style model is useful if balancing instruction on each of the model dimensions meets the learning needs of essentially all students in a class.
Different Learning Styles

The MBTI model classifies students either as extraverts or introverts, sensors or intuitors, thinkers or feelers and judgers or perceivers. These MBTI preferences can be combined to form 16 different learning style types. The KLSM categorizes students as having a preference for concrete experience or abstract conceptualization and active experimentation or reflective observation. The HBDI method classifies students in terms of their relative preferences for thinking in four different modes based on the taskspecialized functioning of the physical brain.
Paradigm Shift
When one takes a closer look at some of the lacunae noticed in the present practice of engineering instruction, the need for a paradigm shift to remedy the situation becomes essential. For the past few decades, most engineering instruction has been heavily biased toward intuitive, verbal, deductive, reflective and sequential learners. However, relatively few engineering students fall into all five of the abovementioned categories. Thus most engineering students receive an education that is mismatched to their learning styles. This could hurt their performance in tapping their creative potential and their attitudes toward their courses as well their career. Teaching students about learning styles helps them learn the course material because they become aware of their thinking processes. A variety of teaching methods such as group problem solving, brainstorming activities, creative and innovative design projects and writing exercises in addition to formal lecturing would greatly help in this regard. HBDI also can serve several important functions that include: helping students gain insight into 45
their learning styles and formulate successful learning strategies, helping instructors understand students questions, comments and answers in the context of their thinking preferences, helping instructors and students form whole-brain teams for optimum problem solving and assessing the influence of curriculum changes on individual and collective student thinking skills.
Strategies
Instructors could greatly improve engineering instruction by increasing the use of methods oriented toward active learners (participatory activities, field related assignment works, team projects), sensing learners (guided practice, real-world applications of fundamental material), and global learners (providing the big picture, showing connections to related material in other courses and to the students experience). It is noted that presenting facts and familiar phenomena first and then to theories and mathematical models rather than always using the fundamentals, then applications approach makes it much more effective. Greater emphasis on active learning experiences in class, replacing formula substitution problems with openended questions and problem formulation exercises, usage of extensive cooperative learning and to get the students to teach one another rather than rely exclusively on the instructor can lead to improved student learning, satisfaction with their instruction as well as self confidence that can do wonders to their morale.
Interactive based Blended e-learning

The more the learner gets involved in the learning process, the better he will be able to absorb, process and retain the information and make use of it in concrete situations. In the active mode of knowledge and competence construction, the learner is supported by the teacher- and also by means of targeted and structured technical impulses The knowledge has a generally higher relevance as regards the implementation in practice- the transfer turns out to be easier and the learner experiences learning as a process that he himself can control and steer in steps. In this context, the potential of blended e-learning (integration of traditional and e-learning) can be exploited and hence is to be practiced, to the extent possible, by the use of media and a Learning Management System (LMS). This can be done by supporting the students to acquire learning contents themselves and by assisting them as a mentor -not only in situations of physical presence in the 46
class room, but also outside the class room in the computer lab using the Universitys own intranet or may be in the internet or even in a field setting. A teacher can develop new and more interactive learning methods through the use of LMS and e-learning platforms, depending on the scope and content of his own specific subjects. Concerted efforts would be made by one and all concerned for its implementation
Development of learners initiatives through project studies

Through these project study courses, the learners initiatives are expected to be developed for use in the world of work. Students would be required to identify the actual problems during the course of their industrial internship, analyze them exhaustively for proposing and developing viable solutions for their ultimate implementation. This exercise is meant give the much needed boost to augment their real life problem solving skills desperately needed in the present local context. The scope of these project studies would be so formulated as to create avenues for the learner to realize his innate creative potential through self learning and testing, either in physical or virtual reality as may be applicable. In the end, learners would acquire the confidence of practicing what they have learnt. This can act as stepping stone for him to attempt and launch developmental endeavors in the long run.
Community as a setting for participatory based learning

The learning activities would be extended in to the local communities for making the education not only learner-centered but also participatory in nature. Teachers, students, community, governmental and nongovernmental /developmental organizations would all be involved as stakeholders to empower people and affect development in real terms. Students would be required to identify problems affecting assigned communities, prioritize them for development of action plans and for implementation and evaluation, adopting all the while an interdisciplinary approach. Apart from honing their application and problem solving skills, this would also enable the students to imbibe a sense of professional commitment to mitigate the suffering of their fellow citizens, while using technology as a driving force for development. The whole exercise is meant to integrate educational training, research and service, both for achieving professional relevance as well as to carry forward the task of development in 47
JU Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering the local context
48
Examination and Grading

At the end of each semester, the student sits for final examinations of the courses he/she has attended (minimum 75% for lectures and tutorials, 100% for practical exercises). A student must pass the examinations for all the courses in addition to the Holistic Examination at the end of the sixth semester.
Examination System
Most courses will be assessed by a combination examinations. Reports on project work should also be assessment metrics. The design activities shall be course work and this often shall include assessment of of written and oral part and parcel of the assessed entirely by 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 Midterm 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.

Explanations: 1) A student who passed (i.e. ECTS grades A E) cannot re-take an examination in order to improve his/her grade. 2) A student who failed with grade FX can re-take the examination once in a specially organized re-sit examination. A re-sit examination has to be offered by the instructor in charge of the course during the semester directly following the course, if at least one student obtained grade FX. If the student fails the re-sit examination with grade FX, he/she will be treated as if the course was failed with grade F. 3) A student who failed with grade F needs to re-take the entire course at the next opportunity it is offered. If, in the following examination he/she fails again with grade F he/she will not be awarded any ECTS credits for that course. Special cases will be decided upon by the Colleges Academic Commission. The Colleges Academic Commission can make exceptions to this rule, taking into consideration individual circumstances and merits of the student. The decision of the Colleges Academic Commission must be unanimous. If a unanimous decision cannot be reached after two consecutive board meetings in which the case was discussed, the chairperson (Dean of the College) of the commission makes the final and binding decision. -------------If the grade of a single course is a product of several parts (e.g. written exam, assignment reports, presentation) that are evaluated individually (refer to respective course description), the entire course is considered failed if the student fails any of the individually assessed parts, even if the overall average of all parts would result into a pass mark. In such a case, only the part of the examination which was failed needs to be repeated according to the rules and procedures for repeating failed examinations.
51
For examinations evaluated by an examination committee, the arithmetic mean of the percentage points awarded by each examination committee member, rounded to the nearest higher number, will be used as the basis of determining the grade.
Quality Assurance
Quality assurance can be used as an instrument to improve the system continuously, install accountability and enable compatibility with other higher education systems. The quality of the program is assessed in terms of the instruction performance and impact of program on the quality of graduates looking for a job or further studies. The following factors help to ensure the quality of the education: In order to maintain the level of courses, course description are prepared in detail containing course objectives, learning outcome, course outline, textbooks, references and laboratory tasks. With regard to instruction performance, in line with the University policy, student evaluations are taken into account. The feedbacks from the students are used to improve the quality of instruction. Examinations are assessed by Departmental Examination Committee to verify the level of the courses instruction. Industry feedback will be an integral part of the process of quality assurance. The quality of graduates is measured with the feedback obtained from the employers and stakeholders who are the immediate beneficiaries of the program and also the graduates who are able to rate their own confidence in meeting the challenges they encounter after graduation. Alumni contacts will be established to find out feedbacks how successful the education they had at the Department has actually been helpful and what actions to take for further improvement on the study program.
52
