The Department is housed in the majestic four storied building in the east-side of the University and has nine laboratories with modern facilities for students to carry out laboratory assignments and project work. In addition, the Department has forged strong links with the industry in order to promote collaborative work. As a result there are three additional industry-sponsored laboratories setup as joint ventures between University of Moratuwa -Dialog Telekom, University of Moratuwa -Zone24x7 and University of Moratuwa -Premium International. Dedi-cated for research, these laboratories make serious contributions to the growth of the electronic and telecommunication industries.
One of the main strengths in our undergradu-ate program is its current and internationally relevant curriculum. We revise the curriculum regularly to keep pace with the rapid change of technology. It has received the accredita-tion of the Institution of Engineers (Sri Lanka) which is a signatory of the Washington Ac-cord, creating pathways for our students to be recognized elsewhere in the world. With our strong undergraduate curriculum, our graduates gain the skills to adapt to the rap-idly changing world of electronics, telecom-munications, and information technology to be productive both in industry and research.In our department, we provide a supportive and simulating academic environment to help our undergraduates excel. However our
support is not limited to only academic activi-ties. The undergraduates of the department organize exhibitions annually to the industry to showcase their projects/products. These visible creative outputs have created new markets thus opening new employment op-portunities. The students have used forums such as the ExMo and Dayatakirula exhibi-tions to showcase their talents. The students foster a strong sense of social responsibility, which is realized through activities such as the E-care program. In general each undergraduate is expected to do at least 20 hours of social responsibility activities. These and many other activities are orga-nized by the E-Club, the flagship student organization in the department. As a result we are able to produce graduates who are excellent in their engineering discipline as well as have remarkable interpersonal skills.
Developments in the electronics and tele-communication field worldwide make it one of the most fast-changing, challenging and coveted specializations of engineering. At the department we foster innovative thinking and encourage hard work. These together with our departments heritage of excel-lence enable the enthusiastic students to become highly sought after engineers or re-searcher both nationally and internationally.

You are stepping into a field which has revo-lutionized the world over the last century. The development of fundamental theories in transmission of information in late 1920s and transistor in early 1950s had changed the world forever. Ground breaking inno-vations in the core field of Electronics and Telecommunications have slowed down but the innovations in the applications of these two fields have exploded over the last two decades. In fact it is in other industries that we find real applications of our field which touch every human being. We are striving to provide you a conducive environment to get exposed to real world problems (from simple to complex) where you individually or col-lectively can come up with a robust solution.
It is in this context that we have identified six thrust areas in which we can excel and make solid contribution to the development of the country: Mobile Communications, Robotics, Machine Vision, Biomedical Technologies, Agriculture Electronics and Embedded Systems. The department has created a vibrant research culture and students have an opportunity to engage in a research project from the inception of semester 2 by joining any one of the active research groups in the area of Com-munications, Intelligent Systems, Machine Vision, Reconfigurable Digital Systems and Agricultural Electronics. Taking developed solutions in these areas to the society is a hard but required task to have the real im-pact. This is the entrepreneurship which we
promote very much with the hope that some of you will become employment creators.
You are about to begin a journey that hope-fully will be unforgettable. This handbook will be an invaluable resource during your stay at the department as it provides you with some key information such as the curricula, staff profiles, physical resources available including information on all labs, performance criteria, student life at ENTC etc., I strongly encourage you to read this from beginning to end and be thorough with the contents. Now it is time for you form new bonds with your own batch colleagues, with your seniors and all staff. Make yourself visible through these interactions, perfor-mance in academic, extra and co-curricular activities. We very much encourage you to participate in all types of sports and other extra-curricular activities in clubs and societ-ies as we believe in creating a well rounded graduate at the end of next 4 years. Your seniors have excelled in global events taking top position in IEEEXtreme, iNexus Robotic competitions. We know that you too have the potential to do the same thing.

Choosing your specialization builds a foundation for your future career. However to excel in our profession-
al life you need to balance your work with many other activities which will build your character. In our lecture halls and labo-ratories you will learn new concepts and accumulate knowledge to earn the qualifi-cation you seek. While appreciating ones own major, the department encourages its student body to seek, understand and appreciate other relevant areas in the en-gineering discipline as these provide the multi-disciplinary en-vironment in which you will work after graduation.
Our undergraduate program of study is well planned to pro-vide the most up to date knowledge. The department fosters a culture of self-learn-ing, encouraging to look beyond what is taught in the lecture halls. In keeping with the departments poli-cy of “teaching you to learn” we encourage you to get involved with the teaching Li

learning process within the lecture hall and independently extend your knowledge body outside the lecture hall. Our graduates are known to “hit the ground running” in the industry. They are known for their abilities and good performance. We often receive very favorable reviews from the industry.T h e d e p a r t m e n t m a i n t a i n s f l e x -ible hours when it comes to laborato-ries being used for academic activities.

We encourage you to use the facilities to investigate and practice the theories taught in the lectures so that you may enhance your ability to “do more with what you know”.
While you are being trained in academic activities you are encouraged to take part in activities of the e-club, sports activities within the university, join clubs and organiza-tions in the university, and other recreational activities which make you a well rounded person. These activities will help you to develop aesthetic talents, organizational abilities and communication skills to become a graduate who can face the future with confidence. Activities such as the “Tronix Nite”, TPL cricket match, e-Care, and ex-hibitions the undergraduates organize are very good examples of how our students improve their soft skills. The department encourages you to engage in at least 20 hours of social responsibility acts each year and will support you in any way possible to identify and organize such activities.
Your time at the department will be made easier and more fruitful if you plan, prepare and persevere. Many students will find it hard to balance their academic activities and oth-er relevant activities if you fail to plan ahead.
As a young graduate , one day you will be called upon to have precise time manage-ment capabilities, ability to prioritize tasks and to have commitment to complete the important tasks. In our capacity, the program at our department is designed to inculcate these good values and en-sure these will one day become habits.
Once you are in our department, we will take good care of you and do our best to ensure that your undergraduate life is a fruitful and enjoyable experience. It is our vision to produce a graduate who is technically competent and socially responsible and be an assert to any industry they engage in.

Research at ENTC
Research is any activity directed at find-ing solutions for unsolved problems in a global context or exploring an area which has not been looked at before. Such activities require dedication and commit-ment which strengthens one’s ability to do independent work. Thus research is an important component of the undergraduate education. The department has created a vibrant research culture and you have an opportunity to engage in a research project from the inception of semester 2.
Department has four active research groups on Communications, Intelligent Systems, Machine Vision and Reconfigurable Digital Systems. Additionally, the department heav-ily promotes agricultural electronics based projects to improve the overall productivity of the agriculture sector. You are strongly encouraged to get involved with any of these research activities that match your interests. It is quite acceptable to work with different groups until you find the best match. You will find such work both stimulating and rewarding and you will undoubtedly real-ize that such effort has a definite positive impact on your academic progress. Please refer to the research group web pages to see the latest information. During the final year, you will get a formal opportunity to engage in a research project spanning the entire year that gives academic credit.

Machine Vision Research Group
Making the computer see, as a human be-ing would, is the ultimate goal of machine vision. This 40-year-old field of research has seen a few success stories such as face detection in cameras, optical character recognition for checks, fingerprint matching, autonomous desert driving, and breathtaking visual effects such as fly-around in the movie industry. However, the general computer vi-sion problem is far from being solved. There are many areas which need substantial amount of work to be usefully changing the way we work. For example, autonomous urban driving using visual navigation, hu-man behavior identification for surveillance and helping the elderly, calling a green field with children a playground using scene recognition, registering a tumor for image guided surgery and many other problems are far from being solved. There is, then, much work to be done to make the ma-chine see as we do. Machine Vision Group attempts to solve several such problems.

Mentoring Program
The Mentoring Program of the Department of Electronic and Telecommunication Engi-neering 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 experi-ence shows that the mentoring program has enabled students to realize their full potential as trainees during industrial train-ing and as professionals after graduation.
In the current program, the ratio of men-tors to students was reduced to 3.2 and therefore there are 31 high profile profes-sionals 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 leader-ship (by Mr. Dian Gomes) and project management (by Dr. Madhu Fernando).
The mentoring program entails an evalu-ation scheme which acts as a catalyst to encourage students to take part in the pro-gramme more enthusiastically and receive more benefits. The students’ engagement with the program is gauged based on three assessments, namely feedback from the
Special Events
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 ac-knowledged by being awarded the Rotaract District Award for Best Professional Devel-opment Project for ten successive years.
Pre dominantly, “Are You Ready?” paves the way for employer companies to distin-guish students of outstanding merit from the university, while contributing to en-hance 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.

Alumni Support
The department of Electronic and Telecom-munication engineering has always had strong relationship with its alumni. The alumni through the Department Industry Consultative Board (DICB) has supported us in developing our curriculum to be current in relevant to the industry. The department maintains a network of connections with the alumni so that it benefits the current and fu-ture students as they move on to the industry.
In recent years the support received by the department form the alumni has been extended to developing infrastructure in the department as well. The past graduates have taken it upon themselves to develop selected infrastructure which will directly benefit the future students in the department.
For example 02 batch donated the air conditioners and the curtains,the 04 batch students donated the stage ,the 03 batch fitted the analog and digital laboratories with curtains,the 05 batch refurbished the conference room with new curtains and donated 40 chairs you are using now.
Following the same path as their seniors, 06 batch fitted the PG seminar room with cur-tains, not only to add colour but to solve the long term problem of glittering of the white board and projected screens due to sun light.
Alum
ni Support
This highlights the policy that the university and the department adopts to foster an environment in which technically brilliant and socially responsible engineers are produced.
It is apt to emphasize again that the real beneficiaries of these magnanimous gestures would be the current and the future under gradu-ates of the department.

The De-partment of Electronic & Telecommunication Engineering has identified Biomedical Engi-neering as a key focus area and collaborated with the medical professionals in the devel-opment of novel medical product prototypes over the last few years. A major obstacle the Department faced throughout has been the inability to commercialize the novel products developed despite their huge potential.
The lab focuses on medical product devel-opment for commercialization, addressing a long felt need of traversing the full path of product development and will be a place for creative medical professionals to take their innovative ideas from concepts to market-able products. Taking an idea to a useable product in the medical field is a long process that requires significant amount of testing in the actual environment and various types of approval. The laboratory will strive to comply with standards related to medical devices in developing products that can win the confidence of medical community.
Sri Lanka, at present, does not manufac-ture any electronic based product for the local consumer market. The laboratory will provide a much needed boost to local Electronics Manufacturing Industry as it intends to go for full scale manufactur-ing of the developed prototypes with its industry partner Premium International.
The laboratory will also focus on applied research related to EEG, Tele-Medicine, Image guided therapy with the objec-tive of developing futuristic products that will have a global appeal. In this process it will encourage all the research engi-neers to acquire postgraduate degrees based on the work done at the laboratory.
PREMIUM International - University of Moratuwa Research and Development Laboratory for Biomedical Technologies employs a few motivated and talented research engineers and every year ac-commodates interns for research and development activities.
