Introduction
In the modern-days, development of a country mainly depends on the development of the
industries. The development of these sectors significantly depends on the standard of
technical education nurtured by the universities and the technical institutes of the country.
It is observed that most of the developed countries maintain a strong relationship between
the universities and the industries. It is believed that the universities are the gateway of
new technologies. Universities develop new technologies and by co-operating with indus-
tries they implement these technologies to raise the standard and effectiveness of the
industry. Universities take the responsibilities to provide technical human resources for
the industries of any country.
The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECEg) is one of the largest
departments in the College of Engineering and Technology in Debre Berhan University. The
Department has been serving the country and also advanced the University’s reputation. It
has trained a significant number of Electrical and Computer Engineers in the country who
are playing key roles in the various sectors of development in the country.
The core Strategy of the Department is to pursue its vision and mission to enhance its
research, linkage with industry, academic and scholarly activities and become a center of
excellence for its programs, thereby improving its eminence in national and international
rankings.
Vision Statement
Realization of this vision requires focusing on specializations relevant to the need of the
country; namely, Electronic Communication Engineering, Electrical Power Engineering,
Computer Engineering, Industrial Control Engineering, and Microelectronics Engineering.
This in turn requires institutional reorganization such as upgrading to faculty level where
each discipline may have its own department.
6
Debre BerhanUniv,School of engineering Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Modularized UG
Five Year Curriculum
The attainment of this vision will require hard work on the part of Faculty/Department, staff,
and students. This effort will require collaboration with the administration, alumni, industrial
friends, different organizations and other universities.
Mission Statement
The ECEg Department is preparing young men and women to lead productive and
rewarding professional lives at the forefront of Engineering in the 21st century and
pursues research and linkage with the industry to advance the state-of-the-art in
electrical and computer engineering education.
At present, the Department is running a B.Sc. degree program in a unified Electrical and
Computer Engineering program. In addition, the Department is running a continuing
education program that leads to B.Sc. degree.
The graduates of the Department have profound knowledge in basic science, mathematics,
social science and the major disciplines: Communications, Power Engineering, Control
Systems, and Computer Engineering (Hardware & Software).
Electrical and Computer Engineering plays an important role in the development of the
country. The development of the energy, communication, industrial and commercial
sectors need well-qualified Electrical and Computer Engineers. Our graduates are working
all over the country in a variety of jobs. They work in installation, design, testing, research
and sales of electrical devices and systems. Many of them are engaged in Ethiopian
Electrical Power Corporation, in Ethiopian Telecommunication Corporation, in Ethiopian
Airlines and in various other industrial and business organizations.
It is being observed that there is a widespread and fast change in the application and
development in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the country and the
world. Therefore, there is a need for revising the currently running program with respect
to the national and international situation. The Department felt that much is expected
from it to bring about changes in the field of Electrical Engineering, Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) in the country. That is why the Ministry of Capacity
Building initiated the revision of the curriculum in 2005.
Today’s electrical and computer engineers must be able to find solutions to new complex
and challenging technical problems. They must have strong scientific, technical and
managerial skills and be able to integrate technical concepts with practical applications.

Five Year Curriculum
The Faculty of Technology was opened in September 1997 under Jimma Institute of Health
Sciences. It comprised three departments: Civil, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering. The
establishment of the Faculty is generally aimed at acquiring skilled man power in each
category.
The first curriculum of the department which was developed in 1997 was adapted mainly
from Technology Faculty of Addis Ababa University. This curriculum used to take five years
of study.
This first curriculum was revised in 2003 due to the nationwide implementation of a new
education policy which reduced the duration of the program to 4 years. This revised
curriculum was developed to address the change in education policy and the need of the
market by incorporating new courses which were not present in the first curriculum.

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.
This newly revised ECEg degree program is a 5-year program, including industry
internship semester, which prepares graduates for careers as professional
engineers in such areas as communications, power system, computer, industrial
control, and microelectronics. The training provided should be versatile and enables
graduates to work in research, design, development, manufacturing, quality control,
marketing, sales and technical support, and as entrepreneurs, consultants and
teachers.
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.

Introduction to Engineering
During the assessment semester, just before the students choose their area of
specialization, a 2-credit course is given to introduce the engineering profession as a whole
and also to give the students the opportunity to deal with the basic technical skills from the
wood work, metal work, electrical work and masonry work. After the assessment semester,
each department offers a series of practice-oriented courses such as workshops and
semester projects.
Semester Project
The 2-credit course (Semester Project) is given to a group of not more than three students
in which the group has to present the results of the semester work to staff of the
Department. It is believed that students get introduced to methods of problem solving,
team work and presentation skill before the B.Sc. thesis.
General

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

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 establishes 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 nECEgssarily carry any credits. However, it should be
mandatory.

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:
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
rECEgive 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.

Department Placement
After successful completion of the orientation semester (1st semester), students will choose
academic departments according to their desired field of study. In view of the high number
of applicants, admission to the Electrical and Computer Engineering department is usually
on competitive basis based on academic performance. 20% of the total available places
shall be reserved for females in addition to their right to compete in the 80% places. The
department admits on average 150 students every year.
Methodology
o Interactive based “Blended E-Learning” and other such self learning modules,
o Practical Demonstrations,
39
Debre BerhanUniv,School of engineering Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Modularized UG
Five Year Curriculum
o Industrial visits.
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
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 Technology
Faculty 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 40 computers and the requisite software shall be established during implementation.
40
Debre BerhanUniv,School of engineering Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Modularized UG
Five Year Curriculum
Due emphasis would be given in the teaching-learning process, not only towards the
building of technical and professional core competencies but also for imparting and
developing the following:
o Computer-related skills
o Reasoning skills,
o Drafting skills
o Managerial/Organizational skills
An objective of education should be to help students build their skills in both their
preferred and less preferred modes of learning. Learning style models that categorize these
modes provide good frame works for designing instruction in engineering education with
the desired breadth. Four different learning style models like;
41
Debre BerhanUniv,School of engineering Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Modularized UG
Five Year Curriculum
The MBTI model classifies students either as extraverts or introverts, sensors or intuitors,
thinkers or feelers and judgers or perceivers. These MBTI preferences can be combined to
form 16 different learning style types. The KLSM categorizes students as having a
preference for concrete experience or abstract conceptualization and active
experimentation or reflective observation. The HBDI method classifies students in terms of
their relative preferences for thinking in four different modes based on the task-specialized
functioning of the physical brain.
Paradigm Shift
When one takes a closer look at some of the lacunae noticed in the present practice of
engineering instruction, the need for a paradigm shift to remedy the situation becomes
essential. For the past few decades, most engineering instruction has been heavily biased
toward intuitive, verbal, deductive, reflective and sequential learners. However, relatively
few engineering students fall into all five of the abovementioned categories. Thus most
engineering students rECEgive an education that is mismatched to their learning styles.
This could hurt their performance in tapping their creative potential and their attitudes
toward their courses as well their career. Teaching students about learning styles helps
them learn the course material because they become aware of their thinking processes. A
variety of teaching methods such as group problem solving, brainstorming activities,
creative and innovative design projects and writing exercises in addition to formal
lecturing would greatly help in this regard. HBDI also can serve several important functions
that include: helping students gain insight into their learning styles and formulate
successful learning strategies, helping instructors understand student’s questions,
comments and answers in the context of their thinking preferences, helping instructors and
students form whole-brain teams for optimum problem solving and assessing the influence
of curriculum changes on individual and collective student thinking skills.
Strategies
Instructors could greatly improve engineering instruction by increasing the use of methods
oriented toward active learners (participatory activities, field related assignment works,
team projects), sensing learners (guided practice, real-world applications of fundamental
material), and global learners (providing the big picture, showing connections to related
material in other courses and to the students’ experience). It is noted that presenting facts
and familiar phenomena first and then to theories and mathematical models rather than
42
Debre BerhanUniv,School of engineering Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Modularized UG
Five Year Curriculum
always using the “fundamentals, then applications” approach makes it much more effective.
Greater emphasis on active learning experiences in class, replacing formula substitution
problems with open-ended questions and problem formulation exercises, usage of
extensive cooperative learning and to get the students to teach one another rather than
rely exclusively on the instructor can lead to improved student learning, satisfaction with
their instruction as well as self confidence that can do wonders to their morale.
The more the learner gets involved in the learning process, the better he will be able to
absorb, process and retain the information and make use of it in concrete situations. In the
active mode of knowledge and competence construction, the learner is supported by the
teacher- and also by means of targeted and structured technical impulses The knowledge
has a generally higher relevance as regards the implementation in practice- the transfer
turns out to be easier and the learner experiences learning as a process that he himself can
control and steer in steps. In this context, the potential of blended e-learning (integration of
traditional and e-learning) can be exploited and hence is to be practiced, to the extent
possible, by the use of media and a Learning Management System (LMS). This can be done
by supporting the students to acquire learning contents themselves and by assisting them
as a mentor –not only in situations of physical presence in the class room, but also outside
the class room in the computer lab using the University’s own intranet or may be in the
internet or even in a field setting. A teacher can develop new and more interactive learning
methods through the use of LMS and e-learning platforms, depending on the scope and
content of his own specific subjects. Concerted efforts would be made by one and all
concerned for its implementation
Through these project study courses, the learner’s initiatives are expected to be developed
for use in the world of work. Students would be required to identify the actual problems
during the course of their industrial internship, analyze them exhaustively for proposing
and developing viable solutions for their ultimate implementation. This exercise is meant
give the much needed boost to augment their real life problem solving skills desperately
needed in the present local context. The scope of these project studies would be so
formulated as to create avenues for the learner to realize his innate creative potential
through self learning and testing, either in physical or virtual reality as may be applicable.
In the end, learners would acquire the confidence of practicing what they have learnt. This
43
Debre BerhanUniv,School of engineering Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Modularized UG
Five Year Curriculum
can act as stepping stone for him to attempt and launch developmental endeavors in the
long run.
The learning activities would be extended in to the local communities for making the
education not only learner-centered but also participatory in nature. Teachers, students,
community, governmental and non-governmental /developmental organizations would all
be involved as stakeholders to empower people and affect development in real terms.
Students would be required to identify problems affecting assigned communities, prioritize
them for development of action plans and for implementation and evaluation, adopting all
the while an interdisciplinary approach. Apart from honing their application and problem
solving skills, this would also enable the students to imbibe a sense of professional
commitment to mitigate the suffering of their fellow citizens, while using technology as a
driving force for development. The whole exercise is meant to integrate educational
training, research and service, both for achieving professional relevance as well as to carry
forward the task of development in the local context
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 two major exams for most courses, the first at the
middle (Mid-term Exam) and the second 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.
44
Debre BerhanUniv,School of engineering Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Modularized UG
Five Year Curriculum
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.
Pass Grade → OK
Fail Grade → Immediate repeat of
FX exam or part failed
(re-sit exam)
Pass Grade → OK
45
Debre BerhanUniv,School of engineering Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering Modularized UG
Five Year Curriculum
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’.
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.
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.

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 Objective and After successfully completed this course, the student should be
Competency
able to :
get familiar with different concepts and terminologies in object
oriented programming
understand the difference and relations between classes and
objects
work with pure Object-Oriented Programming Language; Java,
C++ or C#
differentiate between application programs and applet programs
develop some classes of real world objects based on their
behavior and states
know how to create objects from available classes, use this
objects and destroy unused objects
create subclasses of a class and indicate the behaviors and states
of the superclass which are possible to be inherited by the
subclass
come with mechanism of preventing hackers of some superclass
understand certain skills in web and windows programming and
using graphical user interface
