Acting Vice ChancellorDeanrsquos Message
As a leading university in Sri Lanka we believe that it is our responsibility to groom our future generation to become efficient and dedicated professionals who can move along with ever-changing global trends and ever updating knowledge Therefore all our efforts are focused on preparing undergraduates with cutting-edge thinking constantly searching for new ways to upgrade the universityrsquos course line-up
Faculty of Technology was established in 2015 fulfilling a long-standing void in the Sri Lankan education system Before that there were very few opportunities for technological studies available for prospective students When the government of Sri Lanka decided to introduce a technology stream for 2015 GCE Advanced Level examinations it became a necessity to generate firm higher education routes for students who follow technology subjects
At that very moment the University of Sri Jayewardenepura stepped forward bravely to establish the first Faculty of Technology in Sri Lanka cater to this growing need It was not an easy task to initiate and organize a new faculty at the exact rapidity the situation demanded but we are proud to look back at the process just to realize not only that
we have been able to achieve this dream but also we keep exceeding the
initial expectations
Four years since the establishment we are proud to continue to grow as
the leader in Technology education in Sri Lanka dedicating our efforts
effectively to deliver high-quality undergraduate programs paving clear
career paths for the Sri Jayewardenepura technology graduates by
broadening both industrial and higher educational opportunities
The University and the Faculty of Technology have understood the
importance and competitiveness of technology professionals Since the
beginning this has been the key focus in developing course modules and
updating them with the help of academic and industrial consultants to
make sure that the Sri Jayewardenepura technology graduates can obtain
the best available knowledge and skills to prepare themselves for such
competitiveness
It is a great pleasure to see the development of the new faculty complex is
now completed and has opened its doors to the undergraduates ensuring
their university experience would be a memorable one while getting high
quality theoretical and practical knowledge

appointees were subjected to satisfy a criteria determined by the
National Council of Higher Education
During the insurgency in 1971 to 1972 the University premises were
used to implement an army detention camp for suspected
insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several
locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic
and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of
Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya
campus accompanied by other Universities to become the
University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by
the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of
1978 the independent University status was restored at University
of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating
functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)

development should be targeted while providing basic language input
to the undergraduates So that the students who finally leave us will
be confident charismatic personalities not afraid of using English as a
second language even if he or she has not attained perfection in it yet
At the end of the English language leaning programme the students
are encouraged to follow other optional English courses offered by
ELTU such as the Certificate Course in English

HISTORY OF THE
The University of Sri Jayewardenepura firstly established as the
Vidyodaya University under the Act No 45 of 1998 It was one of the
two premier Buddhist Pirivenas as the turn of the twentieth century
Evolved from the Vidyodaya Pirivena at Maligakanda Colombo Ven
Welivitaye Soratha Maha Thero the principal of the Vidyodaya
Pirivena at that time was appointed as the first Vice-chancellor of
the Vidyodaya University The University ceremonially opened on
16th February 1959 The University was moved to the present
location in Gangodawila on 22nd November 1961
The Vidyodaya University commenced its academic activities with
the five faculties Buddhist studies Philosophy Languages Arts
Ayurveda and Science In earlier days majority of the academic staff
and students were males and majority of both these parties were
Buddhist monks With the enactment of the Higher Education Act
No 20 of 1966 far reaching changes were brought to the university
sector in Sri Lanka such as opening the university admission to
female students The post of Vice-chancellor was no longer
restricted to the Sangha And all academic and administrative
appointees were subjected to satisfy a criteria determined by the
National Council of Higher Education
During the insurgency in 1971 to 1972 the University premises were
used to implement an army detention camp for suspected
insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several
locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic
and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of
Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya
campus accompanied by other Universities to become the
University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by
the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of
1978 the independent University status was restored at University
of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating
functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)
Aligning with the rapid development in higher education after 1978
the University of Sri Jayewardenepura increased the number of
faculties Faculty of Medical Sciences Faculty of Graduate Studies
Faculty of Arts Faculty of Applied Science Faculty of Management
Studies and Commerce Postgraduate Institute of Management
(located in Colombo) and two newly established faculties Faculty of
Technology and Faculty of Engineering are functional as of year

insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several
locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic
and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of
Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya
campus accompanied by other Universities to become the
University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by
the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of
1978 the independent University status was restored at University
of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating
functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)
Aligning with the rapid development in higher education after 1978
the University of Sri Jayewardenepura increased the number of

HISTORY OF THE
The University of Sri Jayewardenepura firstly established as the
Vidyodaya University under the Act No 45 of 1998 It was one of the
two premier Buddhist Pirivenas as the turn of the twentieth century
Evolved from the Vidyodaya Pirivena at Maligakanda Colombo Ven
Welivitaye Soratha Maha Thero the principal of the Vidyodaya
Pirivena at that time was appointed as the first Vice-chancellor of
the Vidyodaya University The University ceremonially opened on
16th February 1959 The University was moved to the present
location in Gangodawila on 22nd November 1961
The Vidyodaya University commenced its academic activities with
the five faculties Buddhist studies Philosophy Languages Arts
Ayurveda and Science In earlier days majority of the academic staff
and students were males and majority of both these parties were
Buddhist monks With the enactment of the Higher Education Act
No 20 of 1966 far reaching changes were brought to the university
sector in Sri Lanka such as opening the university admission to
female students The post of Vice-chancellor was no longer
restricted to the Sangha And all academic and administrative
appointees were subjected to satisfy a criteria determined by the
National Council of Higher Education
During the insurgency in 1971 to 1972 the University premises were
used to implement an army detention camp for suspected
insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several
locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic
and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of
Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya
campus accompanied by other Universities to become the
University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by
the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of
1978 the independent University status was restored at University
of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating
functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)
Aligning with the rapid development in higher education after 1978
the University of Sri Jayewardenepura increased the number of
faculties Faculty of Medical Sciences Faculty of Graduate Studies
Faculty of Arts Faculty of Applied Science Faculty of Management
Studies and Commerce Postgraduate Institute of Management
(located in Colombo) and two newly established faculties Faculty of
Technology and Faculty of Engineering are functional as of year

Vidyodaya University under the Act No 45 of 1998 It was one of the
two premier Buddhist Pirivenas as the turn of the twentieth century
Evolved from the Vidyodaya Pirivena at Maligakanda Colombo Ven
Welivitaye Soratha Maha Thero the principal of the Vidyodaya
Pirivena at that time was appointed as the first Vice-chancellor of
the Vidyodaya University The University ceremonially opened on
16th February 1959 The University was moved to the present
location in Gangodawila on 22nd November 1961
The Vidyodaya University commenced its academic activities with
the five faculties Buddhist studies Philosophy Languages Arts
Ayurveda and Science In earlier days majority of the academic staff
and students were males and majority of both these parties were
Buddhist monks With the enactment of the Higher Education Act
No 20 of 1966 far reaching changes were brought to the university
sector in Sri Lanka such as opening the university admission to
female students The post of Vice-chancellor was no longer
restricted to the Sangha And all academic and administrative
appointees were subjected to satisfy a criteria determined by the
National Council of Higher Education
During the insurgency in 1971 to 1972 the University premises were
used to implement an army detention camp for suspected
insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several
locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic
and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of
Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya
campus accompanied by other Universities to become the
University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by
the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of
1978 the independent University status was restored at University
of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating
functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)
Aligning with the rapid development in higher education after 1978
the University of Sri Jayewardenepura increased the number of
faculties Faculty of Medical Sciences Faculty of Graduate Studies
Faculty of Arts Faculty of Applied Science Faculty of Management
Studies and Commerce Postgraduate Institute of Management
(located in Colombo) and two newly established faculties Faculty of
Technology and Faculty of Engineering are functional as of year

to the undergraduates So that the students who finally leave us will
be confident charismatic personalities not afraid of using English as a
second language even if he or she has not attained perfection in it yet
At the end of the English language leaning programme the students
are encouraged to follow other optional English courses offered by
ELTU such as the Certificate Course in English

Buddhist monks With the enactment of the Higher Education Act
No 20 of 1966 far reaching changes were brought to the university
sector in Sri Lanka such as opening the university admission to
female students The post of Vice-chancellor was no longer
restricted to the Sangha And all academic and administrative
appointees were subjected to satisfy a criteria determined by the
National Council of Higher Education
During the insurgency in 1971 to 1972 the University premises were
used to implement an army detention camp for suspected
insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several
locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic
and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of
Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya
campus accompanied by other Universities to become the
University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by
the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of
1978 the independent University status was restored at University
of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating
functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)

insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several
locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic
and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of
Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya
campus accompanied by other Universities to become the
University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by
the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of
1978 the independent University status was restored at University
of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating
functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)

National Council of Higher Education
During the insurgency in 1971 to 1972 the University premises were
used to implement an army detention camp for suspected
insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several
locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic
and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of
Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya
campus accompanied by other Universities to become the
University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by
the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of
1978 the independent University status was restored at University
of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating
functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)

development should be targeted while providing basic language input
to the undergraduates So that the students who finally leave us will
be confident charismatic personalities not afraid of using English as a
second language even if he or she has not attained perfection in it yet
At the end of the English language leaning programme the students
are encouraged to follow other optional English courses offered by
ELTU such as the Certificate Course in English

The aim of the ELTU of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura is to
make English available accessible and eventually familiar to all
students of the Faculty of Technology
The ELTU has designed all its courses in alignment with the UTEL
(University Test of English Language) bandings

development should be targeted while providing basic language input
to the undergraduates So that the students who finally leave us will
be confident charismatic personalities not afraid of using English as a
second language even if he or she has not attained perfection in it yet
At the end of the English language leaning programme the students
are encouraged to follow other optional English courses offered by
ELTU such as the Certificate Course in English

The aim of the ELTU of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura is to
make English available accessible and eventually familiar to all
students of the Faculty of Technology
The ELTU has designed all its courses in alignment with the UTEL
(University Test of English Language) bandings
It is our belief that the knowledge of English and overall personality
development should be targeted while providing basic language input
to the undergraduates So that the students who finally leave us will
be confident charismatic personalities not afraid of using English as a
second language even if he or she has not attained perfection in it yet
At the end of the English language leaning programme the students
are encouraged to follow other optional English courses offered by
ELTU such as the Certificate Course in English
Evaluation
1 Sixty marks are allocated for the final written paper
based on reading writing skills (UTEL bench marks are
used for this evaluation process)
2 Forty marks are allocated for the continuous assessment
based on listening and speaking skills (UTEL bench marks
are used for this evaluation process)

Grading system
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 GPA modules registered (except those
awarded with academic concession or withdrawn) in a semester weighted according
to number of credits as per the following formula Where Ci is the number of credits
for the i th module in a given semester and GPi is the grade points earned for that
module and n is the number of GPA modules in the semester
Evaluation and Grading of Modules
FACULTY OF TECHNOLOGY PROSPECTUS | 2019-20 | 121
Cumulative Grade Point Average
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) describes a students current standing

Academic Dishonesty
Academic dishonesty (academic misconduct) is defined as any action or attempted
action of cheating that occurs in relation to a formal academic exercise Examples of
academic dishonesty include but are not limited to the following
bull Plagiarism The adoption reproduction of works of another person (ideas
words or statements) without acknowledging and shown as an own work
bull Fabrication The misrepresentation of data information or citations in any
formal academic exercise
bull Deception Providing false information concerning a formal academic
exercise (eg giving a false excuse for missing a deadline)
bull Cheating Any effort to give obtain assistance in a formal academic exercise
(eg during an examination) without due acknowledgment
bull Sabotage Acting to prevent others from completing their work (eg cutting
pages out of library books willfully disrupting the experiments of others)
Submission of Student Assignments Students are required to submit assignments reports from each activity on time to
the course lecturer or to the tutor The submissions must be original works of the
students and avoid academic dishonesty Students should avoid plagiarism and use
proper forms of citation of referred original sources to complete their assignments
or reports
Students must indicate their extent of collaboration when they are collaborating to
the activities sessions such as group works partnerships are combined with
assignments practices and field visits
Students who are found to have engaged with activities related to academic
dishonesty are subjected to disciplinary action of the university
FACULTY OF TECHNOLOGY PROSPECTUS | 2019-20 | 120
Submission of Student Assignments The performance of module will be evaluated by Continuous Assessment Component and End Semester Assessment To earn a credit value respective or both assessing components of the module should be completed successfully with satisfactory grades bull Continuous Assessments (CA) Continuous assessments are conducted by
one or more of the methods such as mid semester examinations oral written tests assignments presentations class participation and practical reports tests The course lecturer may decide the combination of methods of assessment to be used in a particular module
bull End Semester Assessment (ESA) Every module will be evaluated by an end semester assessment which will be held during the scheduled period The duration of the examination can vary depending on the course requirements
There may be exceptions for certain modules
Grading system
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 GPA modules registered (except those
awarded with academic concession or withdrawn) in a semester weighted according
to number of credits as per the following formula Where Ci is the number of credits
for the i th module in a given semester and GPi is the grade points earned for that
module and n is the number of GPA modules in the semester
Evaluation and Grading of Modules
FACULTY OF TECHNOLOGY PROSPECTUS | 2019-20 | 121
Cumulative Grade Point Average
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) describes a students current standing
in terms of grade points earned for all GPA modules registered up to a given point of
time (except those with academic concession andor medical reasons) weighted
according to number of credits as per the following formula Where Ci is the number
of credits for the i th module and GPi is the grade points earned for that module and
n is the total number of registered GPA modules
Note The weightage for each semester is taken as uniform for the calculation of CGPA All
semesters must be successfully completed for the award of the degree
Award of Grades and their respective grade points of values
a) Grades Grade Point Values and the Description are as follows
Grade Grade Point Description A+ 40 Excellent A 40 A- 37 B+ 33 Good B 30 B- 27 C+ 23 Pass C 20

Note In order to earn grade D or above student must score more than the minimum
prescribed marks for both Continuous Assessment (CA) and End Semester Assessment (ESA)
If the assessment is done considering either CA or ESA respective minimum prescribed marks
will be applied

b) PassFail Criteria
I Percentage pass mark for the CA is equivalent to the minimum mark assigned for Grade D+ Percentage pass mark for the ESA is equivalent to the minimum mark assigned for Grade D
II The grade D or above is required to earn credit for a module III Student failing in CA ESA or both CA and ESA must repeat respective
component or both components IV Grade C- D+ D or E which can be improved to a Grade C are considered for
calculating Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) V The student is considered to have completed a semester successfully only if
heshe has achieved a SGPA of 200 or above and has in that semester no E grade and no more than three grades at the levels of C- D+ or D (Note E grades will be included in calculating SGPA)
VI The student is considered to have completed a semester successfully only if heshe has achieved a SGPA of 200 or above and has in that semester no E grade and no more than three grades at the levels of C- D+ or D
VII All semesters must be successfully completed for the award of the degree VIII The overall marks for a module is determined by combining the marks
obtained for CA and EE components taking into account the weightages applicable for the module as approved by the Faculty
IX Grade W indicates a module withdrawn by the student with the approval of the Faculty and the Senate The grade is not counted in the calculation of the GPA
X Grade N signifies Academic Concession granted with the approval of the Faculty in the event a student is unable to sit for the EE due to illness or other compelling reason accepted by the Senate In such instances the student must make an appeal with supporting documents to the Dean for an Academic concession strictly following the procedures laid out by the Senate CA component can be carried forward to the next examination as the first attempt The grade is not counted in the calculation of the SGPA
FACULTY OF TECHNOLOGY PROSPECTUS | 2019-20 | 124
XI A student who obtained grades less than C can sit for three repeat
examinations only
The grade achieved for each module will be entered on the studentrsquos permanent
record Any subsequent upgrade will override the grade obtained at a previous
attempt in the permanent record
The student is considered to have completed a semester successfully only if heshe
has achieved a SGPA of 200 or above and has in that semester no E(CA) E(ESA) and
E (CA amp ESA) grades
A student who has not successfully completed the first three semesters will not be permitted to register for the 5th semester until the SGPA and grades in each of the first three semesters are improved as required
Repeating requirements of unsatisfactory failed modules
A student who received a grade of E(CA) or E(ESA) for a particular module should
register and repeat that module in the first occasion the same module is offered
unless otherwise approved by the Faculty Board and the Senate A student who
received a letter grade of C- D+ D E(CA) or E(ESA) for a module may upgrade that
by registering in that module in the first occasion that the same module is offered
The maximum obtainable grade at a repeat examination is C irrespective of the actual
marks obtained However in the event a student obtains a lower grade while
attempting to improve the grade shehe will be entitled to the previous grade
