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

Automotive Department in Brief

PROFILES OF ACADEMICS DEPARTMENTS

The department offers Ordinary Diploma in Automotive Engineering and Auto Electric and Electronics Engineering under the National Technical Award (NTA) framework covering levels 4-6. These awards are competence based and designed to testify that the holders possess the requisite skills and knowledge necessary to flexibly apply competences in the automotive service, maintenance, repairs and other relevant occupational sectors. It is anticipated that the department shall bring in a new program – Heavy Duty Equipment Technology (HDET) engineering in the academic year 2015/16 and thereafter contribute in preparing highly qualified and skilled technical human resource at the category of technicians to serve the growing mining and construction sectors in the country and region at large. The Automotive department has established Automotive Advisory Committee which shall put together potential stakeholders from the Automotive industry working with the ATC and provide them a platform to advise the department on how to fill prevailing gaps between what is delivered by the programs and the emerging technologies in the industry and which are relevant to the markets where the graduates we are preparing are going to work. The Automotive department supported by the College Management and external partners is in the process of establishing e-learning for automotive technology modules on the condition that the students will be ready to pay some agreed fees and during pilot period shall remain optional to students. This is an opportunity for us to teach and learn the latest developments in automotive technology by using interactive animations and simulations to enable students learn faster, retain more and come up and meet latest technologies. Academic year 2014_2015 is the second year of implementation of the ATC reviewed curricula in the department; this means that levels 4 and 5 shall be in this implementation of the curricula. The department is wishing all the best to our students and let them remember that today’s life in auto industry maintenance and repairs is full of things and to stay ahead we need to achieve on many fronts by practicing multi-tasking using the departmental motto that “Deeds and Not Words” in all of the activities they are going to undertake.

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

Electrical and Biomedical Engineering Students in Practical Session. Behind them is Mr. Daniel Schuster Biomedical Engineer from America Biomedical Technology Aid (BETA)

In 2007 the Department introduced another discipline, namely Electronics and Telecommunication engineering hence boosting the enrolment of students in Electrical Engineering Department. In academic year 2013/2014 the Department introduced a third discipline on Electrical and Biomedical Engineering. The objective of this programme is to train highly qualified technicians in this field, who will be capable of diagnosing, calibrating

Arusha Technical College - PROSPECTUS 2017/2018

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

7.6 General Studies Department

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.

94

Arusha Technical College - PROSPECTUS 2017/2018

The Department also utilizes its well-equipped science laboratories to provide consultancy services to the community in the area of science practical lessons to the neighboring secondary schools. The Department’s goal for the next 5 years is to establish new programs that are required by the market. Currently the Department is developing a curriculum for a new program for Diploma of Science with Education which aims at producing science and technical teachers that will teach in the secondary schools with science and technical specializations. In the academic year 2014/15, we anticipate to establish a Bachelor’s degree course in Laboratory Sciences and Technology.
