6.1 Overall Structure
Each programme has modules that spread over two semesters. Each academicyearhastwosemesters.Thefirstsemesterconsistsof17weeksandthesecondsemesterconsistsof17weeksforclassroomactivitiesand10weeksforIndustrialpracticaltraining.Thereforethewholeprogrammehasatotalof44weeksofstudyforthefulltimeattendancemode.
6.2 Curriculum Overview
6.2.1 Fundamental Modules
They provide a range of basic skills, knowledge and principle appropriate foragraduateinallthefieldsofengineeringaswellasfortheunderpinningandeffectivestudyofthemainthemeoftheprogramme.Theyalsoprovidea viable foundation for further studies and lifelong learning.
6.2.2 C ore Module
Modules associated with the core studies provide the development of the main theme of the programme. They broadly represent the main areas of activity in the respective disciplines, and the in-depth treatment of them willenablegraduatetorapidlybecomeeffectivetechniciansorengineersin the industries associated with the discipline. These modules are taught with fundamental ones so as to enable students gain an appreciation of the natureandcomplexitiesofrealengineeringsystems.Inordertoachievean integration of these modules there will be considerable use of mode of integrationoflaboratory,workshops,fields,lecturesandassignmentwork.Inaddition,casestudieswillbeusedinthemodule
6.2.3 Elective Module
Electivemodules provide an opportunity for in depth study in specificsubjects to level not possible in the core modules and thereby present a greater intellectual challenge. Also they give students the ability to work within a multidisciplinary team/task.

7.3 Transportation Engineering Department
The Transportation Engineering encompasses a wide range of knowledge covering the planning, design, construction and management of transportation facilities. The graduate is expected to supervise construction work such as roads, bridges, track laying, docks and harbours. Also the graduate is expected to carry out tests on soils and road materials to determine their suitability for road works. The graduate should be able to undertake survey for road works, bridges and railway projects. The programme aims on providing skills and knowledge that are vital to employers and other stakeholders,toenticeself-realizationandskillthatenablegraduatestobeself employed.
Besides the training the department provides consultancy on testingconstructionmaterialstothecommunityaroundtheregion.TheDepartmenthasadequateresourcestorunitsprogrammes,whichincludewell-equippedlaboratories/workshops and classrooms, 7 teaching staff and 1 technicalsupportstaffmembers.

7.4 Electrical Engineering Department
The electrical engineering department was established in 1978 withelectrical engineering as sole discipline enrolling three years full technician certificate course (FTC) Students up to 2004. The department startedimplementing market driven, modular, and competence based education and training (CBET) system as from July2005 to date replacing formersystem.CBET, a three year course is focusedon learningoutcomes thatdemonstrate competencies in knowledge and practical skills that are career or task oriented, leading graduates toNational TechnicalAwards(NTA)namelyNTALevel4 (BasicTechnicianCertificate),NTALevel5(TechnicianCertificate)andNTAlevel6(OrdinaryDiploma).Studentispromotedfromlowerleveltohigherlevelaftersuccessfulcompletiononthat level.
The department introduced Electronics and Telecommunication engineering discipline in 2007 boosting the enrolment of students inelectricalengineeringdepartmentfrom34in2006to64ineachsubsequentacademic year.
