CHAPTER 6 STRUCTURE OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES 6.1
Overall Structure
6.2
Curriculum Overview
6.2.1 Fundamental Modules They provide a range of basic skills, knowledge and principle appropriate for a graduate in all the fields of engineering as well as for the underpinning and effective study of the main theme of the programme. They also provide a viable foundation for further studies and lifelong learning. 6.2.2 Core Modules 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 will enable graduate to rapidly become effective technicians or engineers in the industries associated with the discipline.These modules are taught with fundamental ones so as to enable students gain an appreciation of the nature and complexities of real engineering systems. In order to achieve an integration of these modules there will be considerable use of mode of integration of laboratory, workshops, fields, lectures and assignment work. In addition, case studies will be used in the module 6.2.3 Elective Module Elective modules provide an opportunity for in depth study in specific subjects 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.
Arusha Technical College - PROSPECTUS 2017/2018
37
STRUCTURE OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES
Each programme has modules that spread over two semesters. Each academic year has two semesters. The first semester consists of 17 weeks and the second semester consists of 17 weeks for classroom activities and 10 weeks for Industrial practical training. Therefore the whole programme has a total of 44 weeks of study for the fulltime attendance mode.
6.3
Mode of Training
STRUCTURE OF ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES
The two major parts of training, the theoretical and practical parts carry almost the same weight. The former part is conducted in the college class rooms while the latter is carried out in the college workshops and in industries during visits. At the end of each academic year, students attend Industrial Practical Training (IPT) for ten (10) weeks. The main purpose of the industrial practical training is to give the students a chance to apply what she/he has learnt at the college in industry and to make him/her appreciate the real world working environment which he/she will experience after completing his/her studies. 6.4
Examinations and assessment
a) Examinations include continuous assessment (tests, assignments, seminars presentations, practical or any other form of assessment specified in the study guide issued at the beginning of Semester) and end of Semester Examinations including practical where appropriate. b) There shall be a written and, where the course demands, a practical examination during each end of semester for a course taught. c) Timing of examinations shall be between 07.00 am and 10.00 pm any day of the week including weekends. Approved public holidays and other days when the College is closed are excluded d) The College use both internal and external examiners to assess students’ performance

7.2 Civil Engineering Department
PROFILES OF ACADEMICS DEPARTMENTS
This is one of the oldest and giant Departments in the College. It was established in 1978. It offers various programmes leading to both Diploma and Bachelor’s degree awards. In order to keep abreast with global technological changes, training in the Department ensures that learners possess the necessary competences in the world of work. Apart from the training activities, the Department offers consultancy in the buildings and civil works whenever needed. Applied research is another core function of the Department.
Civil Engineering Students in Practical Session off Class Hours
While the Civil Engineering Programme was introduced in the Department in 1978, in the Academic year 2010/11 the Department introduced a new undergraduate programme of Civil and Irrigation Engineering. A year later the Department introduced a similar programme of Civil and Irrigation Engineering at Diploma level. The civil and irrigation engineering programme is a multi-sector programme, which is designed to train graduates who will serve both irrigation (agricultural) sector and construction industry. The Department has competent staff and well-equipped laboratories/workshops and classrooms which enabling the smooth running of the training as stipulated in the curricula. The Department also uses outsourced experts in areas which skills are not available in the Department to ensure that students are getting what they deserve. 50

PROFILES OF ACADEMICS DEPARTMENTS
The Electrical Engineering Department was established in 1978 with electrical engineering being the sole discipline enrolling students for a three-year full technician certificate (FTC) course. This programme existed up to May 2004. As from July 2005 to date the Department started implementing market driven, modular, and competence based education and training (CBET) system replacing former knowledge based FTC system. CBET, which is a three-year course focusing mainly on learning outcomes that demonstrate competencies in knowledge and practical skills that are career or task oriented, leads graduates to National Technical Awards (NTAs) namely NTA Level 4 (Basic Technician Certificate), NTA Level 5 (Technician Certificate) and NTA level 6 (Ordinary Diploma) for first, second and third year respectively. A student is promoted from one level to another after successful attainment of the requisite GPA and Grades.
and repairing the sophisticated biomedical and electrical equipment in hospitals, medical clinics and any health facility. Currently due to this lack of highly qualified technicians in biomedical engineering the percentage of defective equipment (which are repairable) in most national hospitals and various health facilities scattered all over the country stands at 80%.
PROFILES OF ACADEMICS DEPARTMENTS
In academic year 2015/2016 the Department will launch a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering. The Department has adequate human and physical resources to run its programmes. These include well equipped laboratories, workshops, classrooms, 28 academic staff and 4 supporting staff. 7.4.1 Electrical Engineering Progarmme NTA level 4 SEMESTER I Code

PROFILES OF ACADEMICS DEPARTMENTS
Introduction Initially the General Studies Department (GS) was purely a supporting department to the Engineering fields offered at Arusha Technical College but today apart from offering cross-cutting courses, it is also a full fleged department recognized by NACTE. The GS Department now offers a three-year program leading to Ordinary Diploma in Laboratory Sciences and Technology. The three years cover courses for Basic Technician Certificate in Laboratory Sciences and Technology (NTA Level 4), Technician Certificate in Laboratory Sciences and Technology (NTA Level 5), and Ordinary Diploma in Laboratory Sciences and Technology (NTA Level 6).
Laboratory Science and Technology Students performing an experiment in the Chemistry Lab
The GS produces laboratory technicians who are well equipped to work in the secondary schools laboratories as well as in industries. As a supporting department, the GS offers subjects that are cross-cutting and fundamental to engineering. The cross-cutting modules offered by the GS Department include: Advanced Mathematics, Physical Sciences, Communication Skills, and Entrepreneurship & Development Studies.
