ACCREDITATION OF ENGINEERING DEGREE PROGRAMMES WHICH AREOFFERED AT NORTHSORE COLLEGE OF BUSINESS & TECHNOLOGY IN

PARTNERSHIP WITH UNIVERSITY OF THE WEST OF ENGLAND. BRISTOL. UK

This document is intended to provide an overview of the engineering programmes which areoffered at Northshore College of Business & Technology (awarded by Unlversity of the Westof England), to clarify the College's position on obtaining accreditation from a professional,

Statutory and Regulatory Body and to explain the progress made thus far.

1. lntroductionNorthshore College of Business & Technology (NCBT) is the strategic partner for Universityof the West of England (UWE) offering degree programmes in Sri Lanka. NCBT wasestablished in 201 1 with the overarchrng objectives of providing high quality tertiary educationand training to students, who are seeking knowledge and pathways to fulfill their dreams ofbecomlng professionals in future.

At present, NCBT offers two UWE Engineering Degree programmes namely, MEng/BEng(Hons) Electrical & Electronic Engineering and MEng/BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering. Atthe time these programmes were introduced to NCBT, UWE in the UK has been offenngMEng/BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Engineering and BEng (Hons) Civil &Environmental Engineering within the Faculty of Environment & Technology.

Sri Lankan state universities only offer four year engineenng degree programmes to meetlocal professional accreditation requirements, which are set to be in line with the WashingtonAccord (Washington Accord is an international agreement among bodies that are responsrblefor accrediting four year engineering degree programmes globally). Hence, it is essential tooffer four fear engineering degree programmes at NCBT to fulfil this key requirement.

2. UWE Validated ProgrammesMEng/BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Engineering and MEng/BEng (Hons) Civil

Engineering are UWE engineering degree programmes and graduates will receive a UWE

degree certificate and a UWE certificate of credit (transcript). The latter will show the location

of delivery as being Northshore College of Business and Technology. These programmes

were validated by UWE on 19th April 2012 for delivery at NCBT.

3. Recognition from University Grants Commission, Sri LankaUniversity Grants Commission recognizes foreign Universities/Higher Educational lnstitutes

based on international acceptance. Universities/Hig her Educational lnstitutes that are listed in

the following lnternational Publications which are authentic sources of information on

Universities and Higher Educational lnstitutes in different countries, are recognized at present;

1. Commonwealth Universities Yearbook

(Published by Association of Commonwealth Universities)

2, International Handbook of Universities

(Published by International Association of Universities)(source:http://www. uqc. ac.lk/en/universities-and-institutes/recoqnized-foreiq n-

universities. htm l)

The letter issued by UGC is annexed herewith - Annex 1.

4. Recognition from lnstitute of Engineers, Sri Lankalnstitute of Engineers, Sri Lanka (IESL) is the only professional body, which is authorrzed to

promote and advance the practice of engineering in Sri Lanka. IESL is now a full member of

the Washington Accord. Graduates from all three state run engineering universities (namely

University of Moratuwa, University of Peradeniya and University of Ruhuna) can obtain the

Associate Membership from IESL without further requirements of educational qualifications.

However, to recognize other engineering degree programmes, IESL has'published a list of

educational qualifications for graduates from other institutes that needs to be supplemented

with further qualifications in order to satisfy the academic requirements for the Affiliate

Membership and Associate Memb'ership. Refer to Guidelines for EducationalRequirements for Affiliate and Associate Membership with effect from 4h July 2014

(Applicatigns by lndividuals) - http://www. iesl.lk/paqe- 1857852 - Annex 2.

At UWE in the UK both BEng (Hons) Civil & Environmental Engineering and BEng (Hons)

Electrical & Electronic Engineering programmes are accredited programmes under

Engineering Council, UK to be in line with Sydney Accord (ECUK is the only professional body,

which is authorized to promote and advance the practice of engineering in UK). ECUK has

delegated the authority to Joint Board of Moderators (JBM) to accredit Civil Engineering

related programmes and lnstitute of Engineering Technology (lET) to accredit

Electrical/Electronic related programmes. Accreditation is for a programme AND the location

of delivery. lt is emphasized that cotlaborative provisions would not receive the accreditation

from these professional bodies by default but would have to specifically apply for the location

of delivery. The policy of NCBT is to seek local accreditation from the IESL which would enable

members seeking to practice overseas to use the provisions of the Washington Accord to

attain professional recognition. [t should also be noted that MEng Electrical & Electronic

Engineering programme offered at UWE, Bristol is not accredited by IET or any other

professional body in UKl.

However, at present IESL only recognizes the degree programmes listed in Secfion A (without

fufther requirement of educational qualifications) and Section B (with fufther requirement of

educational qualifications) of Annex 2 for Affiliate Membership.

Furthermore, IESL only recognizes the degree programmes listed in Secfion C (without further

requirement of educational qualifications) and Section D (with f urlher requirement of

educational qualifications) of Annex 2 for Associate Membership.

BEng (Hons) Electrical & Electronic Engineering and BEng (Hons) Civil Engineering

degree programmes offered at NCBT do not fall in to the categories listed in Section A

or B of Annex 2. However, MEng Electrical & Electronic Engineering and MEng Civil

Engineering degree programmes offered at NCBT fall in to either category D.l or D.4

listed in Section D of Annex 2.

NCBTwill first seek recognition from lnstitute of Engineers, Sri Lanka for both BEng and MEng

degree programmes in Electrical & Electronic Engineering and Civil Engineering. The

documents will be prepared based on the clear evidence of JBM accreditation of UWE's Civil

& Environmental Engineering programme and IET accreditation of UWE's Electrical &

Electronic Engineering programme .lt is expected to submit the applications for recognition by

lhe end of February 2015. The intention of this application is to,

1) Enable BEng (Hons) graduates to obtain Affiliate Membership'from IESL without

further requirement of educational qualifications. Once qualifications for Affiliate

Membership is obtained, successful completion of IESL Part lll or COE (College of

Engineering) Graduate Diploma will guarantee Associate Membership.

2) Enable MEng graduates obtaining Associate Membership from IESL without further- requirement of educational qualifications (at present IESL requires graduates with a

four year full time engineering degrees not accredited under Washington Accord with

a project in the final yearto follow one ortwo modules of IESL Part lll or COE Graduate

Diploma).

5. Accreditation from lnstitute of Engineers, Sri LankaEducational requirements for obtaining full professional qualifications as a Chartered Engineer

(CEng) and the Corporate Membership of the IESL are same as those required for the

Associate Membership. However to be eligible to apply to become a corporate Member and

a Cha(ered Engineer, an Associate Member is required to fulfill certain other requirements

such as training and experience and will also be required to successfully undergo a

Professional Review which consists of two written papers and an interview

(http://www. iesl. lk/paqe-1 823055).

IESL is now a full member of Washington Accord; hence engineering graduates from an IESL

accredited institute will get international recognition which enables them to find employment

worldwide. NCBT offered UWE's engineering degree programmes to Sri Lankan students with

the clear intention of obtaining accreditation from IESL. The following amendments were made

during the programme validation stage and during the progression of the programmes to fulfill

the requirements set in IESL Accreditation Manual with a number of constraints (keeping UWE

modules as many as possible, designing only 10 or 20 credit new modules, restricting total

number of credits to 480).

1) UWE'S three year BEng (Hons) Civil & Environmental Engineering programme was

upgraded to four year MEng Civil Engineering programme making it consistent with

other MEng degree programmes offered in the Department of Engineering, Design and

Mathematics. ln the development of MEng in Civil Engineering programme, Quality

Assurance Agency's (QM) requirements were also considered in addition to IESL

requirements of number of credits and modules (basic and supplementary).

2) lndustrial Training (24 weeks) was made compulsory - ln UWE, Bristol, industrial

training is optionat. However, IESL strongly advocates that each undergraduate

undergoes industrial training for a period of not less than '12 weeks, and submits a

report on the training certified by the employer's representative to enable assessment

and the award of credits. At present, undergraduates are undergoing for industrial

training under the supervision of National Apprentice and lndustriat Training Authority

(NArrA).

3) UWE'S MEng Electrical & Electronic Engineering programme was not mapped to the

requirements of IESL accreditation manual when the programme was first introduced

to Sri Lankan students and it was later identified that MEng Electrical & Electronic

programme falls short of credit requirement in Management related modules. As a

measure of improvement, the programme specification was revised and an additional

Management module was introduced to the Level 4 of the programme in November

2014.

NCBT recruited its first cohort in May 2012 and students will graduate with MEng qualifications

in October 2015 (Award boards are scheduled to be held in October). lt is emphasized that

accreditation cannot be conferred until award boards are held, i.e. without completion of a full

cycle (Level 1 - 4). During the Iast three years of operation, NCBT has put significant effort to

meet the following main criteria for accreditation.

o The academic programme (the curriculum)

. Staff and the students (qualifications and competency)

. Teaching facilities

. Quality management system

Students at NCBT are required to obtain and average mark of 60% across their level 2

modules in order to remain on the 4 year MEng programme. Students failing to obtain this

are enrolled on the BEng programme which is their target degree. Students who graduate with

the BEng are in the position as described in section 4, point 1, and the successful completion

of IESL Part lll or COE (College of Engineering) Graduate Diploma will guarantee Associate

Membership.

NCBT is currently in the process of completing the laboratory facilities for Level 4 delivery and

recruiting the required number of qualified internal staff members. lt is expected to submit the

application for Accreditation of two engineering degree programmes byt e end of April 2015

(six months in advance of the expected date of conferment of accreditation).

lf accreditation is obtained, it will retrospectively be applied to all graduates of the programme.
