FORWORD
Keeping to the IESLCE policy of regularly reviewing and updating its curricula, a major
curriculum revision was undertaken by the College in 2014, by a panel of senior academics.
The main objective was to make the curriculum Washington Accord compliant and also to
benchmark with other curricula in reputed Universities. The team reviewing the curriculum in
the field of Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering was led by Eng. (Prof.) I J
Dayawansa and many other senior academics from University of Moratuwa, University of
Peradeniya, Open University of Sri Lanka and University of Colombo contributed.
Comments given by the panel of IESLCE Lecturers, students and alumni were taken into
account. The curriculum is to be reviewed by a panel of senior engineers representing the
industry.
The curriculum is formulated keeping to the principles of Outcome Based Education (OBE)
methodology. Student performance is continuously assessed through laboratory work, take
home assignments, in class tests and other instruments. Student achievements in all the
modules, other than those mainly targeting development of skills, are assessed in a Semester
end examination which is the major component of assessment.
Continuous Assessment component and the end-semester Written Examination are separately
evaluated and students have to pass in both components in order to earn a pass in the module.
However, if a student fails in one component and pass in the other it is not required to repeat
the already passed component and the marks obtained there is carried forward to the next
attempt.
