Cover Page Story
The face of Sir Arthur C Clarke occupies
a place of prominence on our cover. Sir
Clarke had the uncanny ability in his time,
to venture far out into the future beyond
his time. He was our chancellor for many
years. Therefore, it is only natural that
we adopt his vision to attempt in our own
small way to bring the future forward as Sir
Clarke did.
The emphasis on our research and training for the years ahead has been placed
on mobile communications, intelligent
systems and applying computer vision
with particular reference to the biomedical
sphere.
10
The rocket and the satellite in the cover
page indicate that making use of them
for communication is in our plans for the
future.
The picture at the bottom right is that of a
robotic platform,
a creation of our
students. Work in
this area has been
acclaimed at international competitions. Extended
and advanced
work using this
robotic platform is
envisaged in the
near future.

assessment and an end-of-semester
examination. The Senate on the recommendation of the Faculty of Engineering
will approve the examiner/(s) and assign a
moderator for each module conducted in
a semester. The continuous assessment
component in a module normally carries
a weightage not less than 30% (20% in
Level 1) and not more than 60% of the
total marks, except in training placement,
camps, research projects and other similar
modules.
Academic Load and Level of Study
The academic load of a student in a
semester differs depending on the department, but in general this could vary
between 10 to 30 credits. Students are
required to register for course modules to
satisfy normal academic load specified by
the respective department in any semester.
A student, with the consent of the relevant
academic adviser, may be permitted to
lake a maximum of six credits above or
below the normal semester academic load.
The additional modules may include previously taken modules repeated for purposes
of passing or upgrade of final grade.

All candidates should obtain at least 40%
of the continuous assessment marks at all
levels to qualify to sit the end of semester
examination.
Leave of Absence
A minimum requirement of 20% should be
obtained from the written component of the
end of semester examination in order to
obtain a grade of D or above for a course
module.
A student may be allowed to submit a
leave of absence from the course for a
maximum duration of twelve months, by
submitting an application to the Senate
on the recommendations received from
the student’s academic advisor and the
Faculty.
A repeat candidate who has an I (Incomplete) grade will be given a grade based on
the marks obtained at the end of semester
examination given out of 100, subject to
a maximum of a “C” grade, irrespective of
the continuous assessment marks obtained previously.

The academic progress of a student may
be determined by the total number of credits a student has earned by the end of preceding semester or term as given below:
The continuous assessment of a student
may be based on a specified combination
including laboratory work, tutorials, quizzes, presentations, mid term examinations,
term papers and assignments. Weightage
of each of the above components used
in the determination of the final grade for
each course module will be clearly conveyed in writing to the students by the
examiner at the commencement of each
module along with the outline of the course
module.
25
The highest grade obtainable at a
repeat attempt is the grade C except
when an academic concession has
been granted.
A board of examiners, appointed by
the Council, comprising examiners and
moderators of all the modules relevant
to a particular level of course and/or a
field of specialization, will meet at the
end of each semester to decide on the
performance and the academic standing
of each student registered for that level
of course or program of specialization.
Grading System
Letter grades based on the grade point
system and corresponding description,
as illustrated in the Table below will be
used to express the performance at
each module.

(b) A student satisfying continuous assessment
requirements and failing the end-of-semester
examination receives an incomplete grade I.
By repeating only the end-of-semester examination, the grades I, D or C- can be improved
up to a C grade and considered for calculating
semester grade point average.
(c) A student receiving an F grade must repeat
both the continuous assessment and the endof-semester components. The maximum grade
awarded for repeating a course module will he
a C and it wilt be used for calculating semester
grade point average.
(d) Grade N signifies academic concession
granted with the approval of the Faculty, in the
event a student is unable to sit for the end-ofsemester examination due to illness or other
compelling reason. In such instances the student must notify the registrar within 48 hours of
the cause. Further, the student should make an
appeal with supporting documents to the Dean
for an academic concession within one week
from the date of the examination. The continuous assessment component can be curried
forward to the next examination as the first attempt. The grade is not counted in the calculation of the semester grade point average.
Only the grade achieved for each module
will be entered on the student’s permanent
record. The grade at the first attempt or
the improved grade earned at a subsequent attempt, if any, will be recorded.
(a) Grade D or above is required to earn
credit for a module, except for EN 399 Industrial Training where grade C is required
to earn credits.
Semester Grade Point Average
The calculation of the Semester Grade
Point Average (SGPA) will be based on the
summation of grade points earned for all
modules registered for credit (except those
awarded with academic concession) in a
semester weighted according to number of
credits (see the formula below). The grade
point average is rounded to the nearest second decimal place. The semester
grade point average is reported on transcripts and statement of results that may
be issued for each semester.
Where ni is the number of credits for the ith
module in a given semester and gi is the
grade points earned for that module.
Unsatisfactory Standing and Academic
Probation
Current Grade Point Average
The Current Grade Point Average (CGPA)
describes a student’s current standing in
terms of all modules registered for credits
up to given point of time weighted according to the grades assigned to each module
and the level of the module. The weight for
each level will be uniform except for level
1 where it will be considered as equivalent
to two third (2/3) of the weight for other
levels.
Overall Grade Point Average
The Overall Grade Point Average (OGPA)
is final standing of the student calculated
on the basis of CGPA.
Non-GPA Modules
The requirement for graduation is 150
credits. Of this requirement, 15 credits
should be earned through modules that
are designated as Non-GPA modules. The
grades earned in these modules will not
be taken for the purpose of calculating
the Semester GPA, Overall GPA or in the
award of classes.
S t u d e n t s ’
H a n d b o o k

If the student’s semester grade point
average falls between 1.50 and 1.99 the
student will be placed on academic warning. Any student with a semester grade
point average less than 1.50 will be place
on academic probation. Academic probation and/or academic warning may be
withdrawn when the relevant semester
grade point average is upgraded to 2.00
or more. A student on academic warning
or academic probation will not be allowed
to carry any additional academic load. A
student who falls into one of the following
categories due to failure to upgrade the
SGPA will not be permitted to register for
a new module until the SGPA improves as
required.
i.) SGPA < 1.50 in any two semesters
ii.) SGPA< 1.50 in any semester and 1.50
< SGPA < 2.00 in any two semesters.
iii.) 1.50 < SGPA < 2.00 in any three
semesters.

Classes
Academic Concession
Awarding of classes is determined at the
completion of all the graduation requirements within five academic years. Overall
grade point average as indicated below
will be used for awarding of classes
A student who has missed an end-ofsemester examination because of illness
or other compelling reason may appeal
with supporting documents to the Dean for
an Academic Concession within one week
from the date of the examination.

Full time undergraduate student who
achieve a semester grade point average of 3.80 or better, have completed at
least the minimum number of credits on
a letter graded basis during the semester
considered, have no incomplete grade or
failures, and have no disciplinary action
against them will be recommended by the
board of examiners to be included in the
Dean’s List and such a placement will also
be noted on the student’s transcript.
Under exceptional circumstances, a
student who satisfies the overall GPA but
takes longer than five academic years to
complete the course requirements may be
deemed to be eligible for the award of a
B.Sc Engineering Honours Degree with a
class by the Senate on the recommendation of the Faculty.

Learning Objectives
The aims of industrial training are as follows.
• To ensure that the student is given the opportunity to gain a wide knowledge
of the engineering profession and the engineering workplace environment
• To provide the student with the opportunity to apply the theoretical and analytical knowledge gained within the University to practical solutions within the
industrial environment
• To develop skills and knowledge and attitudes needed to make an effective
start as a member of the engineering profession
At the end of the training program, the student will be equipped with the talent
and attitudes necessary to undertake engineering projects appreciating the technical, safety, economic, commercial and social factors involved.
Outline Syllabus
1.
There are a number of elements of training which should be covered within the
24 weeks.
Induction
This is an initial period to help the student in the transition from academic to
industrial life. The students should meet his/her Mentor to discuss the contents
and the objectives of training. He/She should also receive information about
the training organization, its products or services and the terms and conditions
of employment.
Practical Skills
During this period the student should receive instructions in the practical skills
essential for his/her future employment. It should also include an appreciation
of the work of others in converting an engineering design into a final product (if
appropriate).
General Engineering Training
In a large organization this should include an introduction to the work done in a
number of departments. Under these circumstances, the student may eventually be working as a member of a team in the organization. The student should
be made aware of the management and administration sectors of the organization.
Directed Objective Training
The major part of the training should have directed application to the activity
which the student intends to follow after the training program (activities should
be relevant to the major in which the student will be graduating in). At this
stage the student should be encouraged to work on a real project and be given
increasing responsibility for independent work to establish interest and confidence in his/her work.
Most of the training time will cover Design and Development, Documentation
and Data preparation, and commissioning. The student should also have a
thorough understanding of the operations of the training place in the Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering context.

Mentoring Program
The Mentoring Program of the Department of Electronic and Telecommunication
Engineering is an important part of the
level 2. The mentoring program assists
the second year undergraduates, who are
expected to undergo industrial training in a
few months, to prepare themselves for the
requirements of the corporate world. Our
past experience shows that the mentoring
program has enabled students to realize
their full potential as trainees during industrial training and as professionals after
graduation.
In the current program, the ratio of mentors to students was reduced to 3.2 and
therefore there are 31 high profile professionals mentoring the 100 students in the
level 2. The variety of the in-house training
sessions was also increased this year by
including interesting topics such as speed
reading (by Mr. Sanjiv Jayaratnam) and
meditation (by Dr. Ravindra Koggalage)
among the usual themes such as leadership (by Mr. Dian Gomes) and project
management (by Dr. Madhu Fernando).
The mentoring program entails an evaluation scheme which acts as a catalyst to
encourage students to take part in the programme more enthusiastically and receive
more benefits. The students’ engagement
with the program is gauged based on
82
three assessments, namely feedback from
the mentor, feedback from the internal staff
member assigned to groups of mentees
and marks obtained for the group assignment. The students who have performed
well are expected to receive a certificate of
merit.
Are you ready?
Organized by the Career Guidance Unit
and the Rotaract Club of University of
Moratuwa, “Are You Ready?” is the most
sought after professional development
program in the university calendar year.
2009 marks the 15th consecutive “Are
You Ready?” program, where its predecessors have all emerged as tremendous
successes, which was acknowledged by
being awarded the Rotaract District Award
for Best Professional Development Project
for ten successive years.
Pre dominantly, “Are You Ready?” paves
the way for employer companies to distinguish students of outstanding merit from
the university, while contributing to enhance the employability and professional
development of the undergraduates. Apart
from interview sessions, various sessions
are organized focusing various groups of
students to cater to their distinct needs.
