Bachelor of Science Program

Duration of the Program
This newly revised ECE degree program is a 5-year program, including industry internship
semester, which prepares graduates for careers as professional engineers in such areas as
Communication, Electrical Power, Computer and Industrial Control Engineering.

Rationale of the Program

 Engineering in general and electrical/electronic engineering in particular is a highly
dynamic field of study in that the rapid development of the technology doesn’t allow leaving
academic curricula untouched for a long time. Thus, to minimize the gap between the state-
Modularized Under Graduate Five Year Curriculum 3
AASTU, School of Electrical Engineering &Computing, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

of-the-art and the teaching process and maintain the relevance and educational standard,
there is always a need for curricula review.
 The basic rationale for all of the Department’s programs are the prevailing conditions in the Country
with respect to the needs for professionals in this area and the future trends that are developing in the
demands for the profession. The Department has been keenly following the developments in this regard
both within the Country and internationally and the following provide some of the major facts and
observations on which these programs premised.
 Over the next several years the Department will train students in line with the
national needs and the rapid growth of the discipline - and is expected to a point
where graduates of its undergraduate program are equipped with sufficient
theoretical and practical skills that would enable them to be engaged in work in the
Electrical/Electronic sector of the national economy.
 Ethiopia, like many of the developing countries, is essentially a user of products of
Electrical Engineering technology. So far, the undergraduate program is designed so
as to meet the needs of the main employers of the graduates in the operation and

Modularized Under Graduate Five Year Curriculum 4

AASTU, School of Electrical Engineering &Computing, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

maintenance of electrical and electronic equipment and machines. To meet these

needs the program is made broad enough to cover most major areas of electrical
engineering such as power, electronics, communications, control, and computers
without any particular specialization. But it has now become necessary to look ahead
to the future needs of the country and provide educational means to meet these
needs.
 It is still logical to maintain the broad nature of the undergraduate curricula that
affords the graduates versatility in terms of employment. But it has now become
necessary to look ahead to the future needs of the Country and provide educational
means to meet these needs. The current revision of the curricula has therefore
sought to address these through strengthening all streams.
 With the advent of microelectronics, computers and computer-based equipment
have found wider application in industry and other sectors. The declining prices for
these equipments have also made them affordable and therefore accessible to large
segments in industry. Computer applications have now been diversified and the
traditional use of the computer in data processing and other computational
application are only a small part of these diverse applications.
 The convergence of computers & communication technologies has made it
imperative to provide education that imports knowledge & skill in these two fields
concurrently. The Electrical Engineering Department is well placed to offer such a
program through its currently revised programs.
 The aim is to produce electrical engineers who are flexible across various disciplines;
and are able to apply their knowledge and skills to lead multi-disciplinary teams to
solve the increasingly complex problems of the industry and technology.

Structure of the Curriculum

 The new ECE curriculum focuses on broad-based training to provide flexibility of career
choices and focused training to provide competence in particular electrical engineering
profession. It finds balance between breadth and depth to provide a solid foundation in
the basic engineering, mathematics, electrical engineering on one hand, and
comprehensive training in humanities and management on the other.
 The assessment semester is intended to consolidate the students' educational
background for higher learning and further help them to adapt to the system.
 In the five consecutive semesters, after the common assessment semester, all the
students take courses mainly in the core electrical engineering category. This provides
them with a broad background for all areas of electrical and electronic engineering. At

the end of the sixth semester, the students will be taking a holistic evaluation that
requires an overview of all the courses taken to make sure that they are ready for the
focus area studies and to indicate inclination of students towards the focus area.
 In the final two years, students are given the opportunity to focus on one of the four
areas, namely communication engineering, electrical power engineering, computer
engineering, and industrial control engineering shown in the flowchart. The students are
placed to the streams based on their preference, the holistic exam result and the
cumulative grade point (CGPA).

AASTU, School of Electrical Engineering &Computing, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

believed that students get introduced to methods of problem solving, team work and
presentation skill before the B.Sc. thesis.

 Internship (Industry Placement)

In industry internship students must be attached with an industry for one regular semester in
order to get real world experience in their field of study, which compliments their education.
i. General Background

The pre-requisite for registration in the industry attachment program is successful completion
of all semesters before the internship program. At the end of their internship, the student and
the internship coach at the industry have to submit a report on the attachment program, which
is evaluated at the departmental committee with pass or fail grade. Students who cannot obtain
a pass mark for the internship program will not be allowed to register for the next semester.
They will be advised to repeat the semester with the next batch of students.
The new Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) curriculum in the Electrical and Computer Engineering
program requires a one-semester internship (industry placement) after the successful
completion of the ‘holistic examination’ given at the end of the sixth semester of the program.
During the internship, the daily and monthly working times follow the systems practiced in the
respective industry for the upper middle-level management. Specifically, they follow the system
practiced in the respective company that hosts the student. As a rule, the entire internship
period has to be spent in a single company; a change of company during the internship period
will only be permitted under extraordinary circumstances. In such a case, the decision is with
the University-Industry Linkage (UIL) Officer.
A seminar program, organized by the UIL Officer will accompany the internship semester.
Participation in the seminar program is compulsory (mandatory).
At the end of the internship, the student submits to the UIL Officer a comprehensive report,
duly endorsed by the student’s host company. The report is assigned 30 ECTS. The required
format and assessment of the report is detailed in the Curriculum Handbook for the department.
The report will be assessed by specifically assigned internship program evaluator (or university
professors/lecturers).

ii. Objectives
The internship program has the following objective(s):

 Expansion of knowledge and acquaintance with industry in the field of Electrical and
Computer Engineering.

Modularized Under Graduate Five Year Curriculum 11

AASTU, School of Electrical Engineering &Computing, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

Engineering design and construction industry.

 Participation in the development, manufacture and assembly of products typical for the
industry.

 Involvement in the planning, steering and management of the design & construction
processes.

 Hands-on training in practical skills typical for the industry. Typically, this would be
participation –individually or within a (task) group– in real assignments/projects, which
entail the application of knowledge and skills attained so far during the studies at
University –and aiming at developing special skills related to the industrial practice in
one or several of the following fields (depending on the type of industry and company
profile):
o Design and construction.
o Laboratory (quality monitoring) work.
o Task management (labor management, logistics).
o Business management, Marketing.

iii. Academic Requirements

The academic requirements for entry into the internship (industry-placement semester) is the
successful completion of the holistic examination, which encompasses all parts of the study
program completed until the end of the 6th semester.
As is indicated in the description of the Internship Module, the Internship program creates the
opportunity for the students to familiarize themselves with the Industry. The Committee
proposes that an office be established with the mandate of organizing the Internship for the
students.
The office should look for interested employers form the private and public sectors. It should
also create permanent contact with the Construction Industry. The private sectors involve
among others consulting offices and construction firms. The public sector involves the Design
Enterprises established in the Country. The Duration of the internship should be one semester
and it must not necessarily carry any credits. However, it should be mandatory.

iv. Proof of Finishing an Internship Semester

In order to acknowledge an internship semester the student must submit a written report to
the Internship Coordinator. This must be signed by the student’s host company. This report is
Modularized Under Graduate Five Year Curriculum 12
AASTU, School of Electrical Engineering &Computing, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

written solely by the student and contains information on the working-out of larger or smaller
themes, with which the student is confronted during the work in the company. It can include
literature study. The report must document the areas in which the student has worked and the
specific knowledge obtained as a result.
For the internship the host company must issue a certificate on the industry project.At the end
of the internship the student has to make a presentation (final seminar) on the results of the
industry project.
The internship semester is granted 30 ECTS points if the student has successfully passed the
semester.

v. Cost
All matters related to the cost of the internship process will follow Government legislations.
The following items should be included in the budget preparation:

 Insurance (accident during work & trips to/from work)

 Long-distance travel cost (if company is far from University, e.g. another region)
 Daily travel to/from work
 Travel to/from University (e.g. from location of company) to attend the mandatory
seminar
 program organized by the University (if any)
 Accommodation, if the workplace is far from the University
 Cost for printing the comprehensive report
 Remuneration for the internship from the company, if any.

 B.Sc. Thesis
The B.Sc. Thesis is the final element of the B.Sc. study program. The main goal of this course is
to develop the individual creative and problem solving ability of graduates. Students will
receive an individual project specification from various areas and work them out individually
under the supervision of faculty advisor or/and professional advisor from the industry. The
candidate use all the theoretical knowledge and practical skill he obtained during his/her study
to solve the engineering problem in a scientific way which includes problem analysis, solution,
verification, implementation, documentation, and presentation. B.Sc. Thesis is defended in front
of the official committee at the end of the study.

The European Credit Transfer System (ECTS)

The conventional credit system used in higher education systems is mainly based on student
contact hours in class and laboratory sessions. A new system of credit system is introduced that
takes the extra hours a student spends for the course in addition to lectures, tutorials, and
laboratory practical. In ECTS credits are values, allocated to course units, to describe the
student workload required to complete a course including attending lectures, seminars,
independent and private study, preparation of projects and examinations.

In this revised curriculum, the ECTS equivalent of the old credit system has been estimated and
shown for each course in the course breakdown. In ECTS, one credit stands for 25-30 hours of
work activity. A semester study within this system is set at 30 ECTS points (750-900 hours).

Program Composition
The total credit hour requirement for graduation in any one of the streams is 158 (300ECTS) of
which 105 credits (180ECTS) are covered during the first six common semesters composed of
courses from the three basic categories: Humanity and social science, Scientific and engineering
fundamentals and Core electrical engineering. The remaining credit hours, i.e., 53 credit hours
(120ECTS), are given during the last four focus area semesters which consists of Focus area
courses, Internship and B.Sc. Thesis. The categories are summarized in the following table.
Category ECTS Percent
Humanity and Social Sciences 34 11.26
Engineering Science &Mathematics 50 16.56
Core Electrical Engineering 101 33.44
Focus Area (Average) 71 23.51
Internship & Projects 46 15.23
Total 302 100
A student is expected to choose one of the four focus areas Communication Engineering,
Electrical Power Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Industrial Control Engineering at the
end of the sixth semester.

task of industrial and national development.

Methodology
The teaching-learning methods to be adopted, for the transfer and/or acquisition of knowledge
and skill development includes
o Classroom Lectures backed up by Course-Work Projects, Tutorials and Assignments,

o Lectures by Industry professionals and resource persons on a periodic basis

o Interactive based “Blended E-Learning” and other such self learning modules,

o Workshop Practice and Laboratory Exercises,

o Practical Demonstrations,

Modularized Under Graduate Five Year Curriculum 22

AASTU, School of Electrical Engineering &Computing, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

o Audio-Visual teaching materials,

o Cut-Sectional Model Studies,

o Wall mounted display charts

o Field visits related to community development/intervention

o Industrial visits.

o Practical and development oriented design projects

o Individual and group seminars/Presentations

o Group tasks/discussions/Case studies

o Brain storming sessions

o Assembling/disassembling of real world prototypes

Taking a cue from the dictum of learning which says “You may hear and forget, you may see and
remember but you do and learn”, action oriented and student-centered learning would be
emphasized as the modus operandi while underlining the significance of inducing curiosity for
continuous self learning as the catalyst for effective assimilation of knowledge and its
application in concrete situations.

Tools
o Black boards

o White boards

o Over-head Projectors

o LCD Projectors

o Audio-visual equipment

o ICT related peripherals and software

Most of the lectures requiring graphical display of constructional features in minute detail shall
be conducted using LCD projectors. Animation is to be employed where applicable for better
impact and visualization. Text books and references are available in the university library. A
computer center of the department having a modest number of computers is available for any
problem solving that requires computers. A design room with 50 computers and the requisite
software shall be established during implementation.

Examination and Grading

At the end of each semester, the student sits for final examinations of the courses he/she has
attended (minimum 80% for lectures and tutorials, 100% for practical exercises). A student
must pass the examinations for all the courses in addition to the Holistic Examination at the end
of the sixth semester.

Examination System
Most courses will be assessed by a combination of written and oral examinations. Reports on
project work should also be part and parcel of the assessment metrics. The design activities
shall be assessed entirely by course work and this often shall include assessment of oral
presentations.
According to the revised curriculum, in addition to regular quizzes, home works, and
assignments, the students will undertake one major exam for most courses at the end of each
semester (Final Exam). Some senior courses may not have Mid-term Exams; instead students
will be evaluated based on project work. In addition, the students will take a holistic
examination covering all basic study modules before they leave for their internship.

In the final year, students should be required to present and defend their B.Sc. thesis work in
front of examining professors and interested audience.

. Explanations:
1) A student who passed (i.e. ECTS grades A – D) cannot re-take an examination in order to improve his/her grade.
2) A student who failed with grade ‘F ’ can re-take the examination once in a specially organized re-sit examination. A re-
X
sit examination has to be offered by the instructor in charge of the course during the semester directly following the
course, if at least one student obtained grade FX. If the student fails the re-sit examination with grade ‘FX’, he/she will be
treated as if the course was failed with grade ‘F’.

Modularized Under Graduate Five Year Curriculum 28

AASTU, School of Electrical Engineering &Computing, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering

3) A student who failed with grade ‘F’ needs to re-take the entire course at the next opportunity it is offered. If, in the
following examination he/she fails again with grade ‘F’ he/she will not be awarded any ECTS credits for that course.
Special cases will be decided upon by the College’s Academic Commission. The College’s Academic Commission can
make exceptions to this rule, taking into consideration individual circumstances and merits of the student. The decision of
the College’s Academic Commission must be unanimous. If a unanimous decision cannot be reached after two
consecutive board meetings in which the case was discussed, the chairperson (Dean of the College) of the commission
makes the final and binding decision.
If the grade of a single course is a product of several parts (e.g. written exam, assignment reports, presentation) that are
evaluated individually (refer to respective course description), the entire course is considered failed if the student fails any
of the individually assessed parts, even if the overall average of all parts would result into a pass mark. In such a case,
only the part of the examination which was failed needs to be repeated according to the rules and procedures for repeating
failed examinations.
For examinations evaluated by an examination committee, the arithmetic mean of the percentage points awarded by each
examination committee member, rounded to the nearest higher number, will be used as the basis of determining the grade.

Quality Assurance
Quality assurance can be used as an instrument to improve the system continuously, install
accountability and enable compatibility with other higher education systems. The quality of the
program is assessed in terms of the instruction performance and impact of program on the
quality of graduates looking for a job or further studies. The following factors help to ensure the
quality of the education:

 In order to maintain the level of courses, course description are prepared in detail
containing course objectives, learning outcome, course outline, textbooks, references and
laboratory tasks.

 With regard to instruction performance, in line with the University policy, student
evaluations are taken into account. The feedbacks from the students are used to improve
the quality of instruction.

 Examinations are assessed by Departmental Examination Committee to verify the level of

the courses instruction.

 Industry feedback will be an integral part of the process of quality assurance. The quality of
graduates is measured with the feedback obtained from the employers and stakeholders
who are the immediate beneficiaries of the program and also the graduates who are able to
rate their own confidence in meeting the challenges they encounter after graduation.

 Alumni contacts will be established to find out feedbacks how successful the education they
had at the Department has actually been helpful and what actions to take for further
improvement on the study program.

This thematic module contains two thematically clustered courses; i.e.
Introduction to Civics and Ethical Studies; and Introduction to Logic.It’s
now become clear that Citizenship and Ethical Studies has become not only
a field of specialization in itself but has also been attracting leaders who
envision instilling democracy on an unshakable ground within their own
society. At minimum, there will be the right to be domiciled in and take part
in the political mechanisms of the state, usually through voting. In most
modern democracies, citizenship also ensures the protection of other
humanrights and civil liberties, hence, not all of which may be available to
people who have the right of abode in the country. In light of this, the
Module Description thematic module first deals the course Civics and Ethical Studiesin order to
enable students to be equipped with foundations of Citizenship studies such
as political citizenship of rights and obligations, economic citizenship in
light of variations and the threat of globalization, and social citizenship as
grounds of social change, and evaluate these in the contemporary Ethiopia.
In addition to this, the module is designed to develop the reasoning capacity
of the learners. Finally, the module will discuss about the principles and
methods of correct reasoning. It also deals as to how reasoning skills is
related to and used in, our day-to-day practical life discourses and
developing self-awareness and self-image by way of enlarging the areas
possibilities in their professional, individual and social live.

Status of the course Core Electrical Engineering
Course Description The main focus of this course is to study and understand the object
oriented programming concepts: objects, classes, interfaces and packages.
In doing so we need to use any object oriented programming language that
helps us to implement the essential features of object oriented
programming, namely Encapsulation (Information hiding or data
abstraction), Polymorphism and Inheritance. After these basics the course
then aims to help the students understand the nuts and bolts of a pure
object oriented programming language, e.g. JAVA, C++ or C#, by writing
some application and applet programs. Then using any of these languages
we need to know how could we create class, object, interface and package
also need to understand some useful predefined classes, interfaces and
packages. Model real-world objects using their state and behaviour. Then it
deals with web design in HTML and how could we add some
programmable features using Java Applets into the web page that will help
us solve the problem. Finally to provide a solid foundation for developing
software using the object-oriented paradigm it is important to know the
Unified Modelling Language (UML) and the different class relations and
their UML representation

Course Description The Microcomputers and interfacing course intends in getting the
concepts to the mastering of basic microcontroller and microcomputers.
The discussion of the course will be based around the 8086 intel-
microprocessor. However, this is not stiff and could be subjected to
change. The fact that the 8086 is the considered basic processor
architecture, only for those matters will the discussion is based on the
microcontroller. The discussion of the course will begin by introducing the
microcontroller evolution in their historical background. The art of
bringing hardware and software together will be explored. The two most
common computer architectures, the Reduced Instruction Set Computing
(RISC) and the Complex Instruction Set Computing (CISC) will also be
explained. The overall 8086/8088 architecture with a close look at the
register, memory, bus, and IO organization. Having discussed the concept
of the architecture, the course will then pass to getting to know with the
instruction sets of the 8086. The most important instruction set will be
given emphasis and soon after that, hardware programing will be taught.
The hardware programming or the storing of a program will take two
tours. The first will be assembly language programming route and the
second will be high level hardware programming. The high level language
programming can take various languages into the programming task. C
