1. Introduction
1.1. Background
The College of Engineering, then called Imperial College of Engineering under the Ministry
of Education, was established in 1953 as a two-year course of pre-engineering education, and
graduates were subsequently sent abroad for further training. Two years later, a four-year
program was introduced in Civil and Industrial Engineering, and B.Sc. degrees were first
awarded by His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I in July of 1958.
In 1959, the College was expanded to include instructions in Mechanical and Electrical
Engineering in lieu of Industrial Engineering and the undergraduate program was extended to
cover five years. The first mechanical engineers graduated from the University College of Addis
Ababa in 1963.
In late 1970‟s, the decade when the change from Haile Selassie I University to Addis Ababa
University took place, the programs of study in engineering were cut down to four years for a
few years. It was later restored to the original five year program.
In order to effectively manage the large student population and swiftly respond to the need of
the government transformational plan and support the growth and competiveness of the industry,
the Faculty of Technology was given autonomy and new leadership with international experience
since April 2010. The Faculty of Technology was re-organized into Addis Ababa Institute of
Technology (AAiT) and the leader of the Institute is named as Scientific Director, with Vice
President Status of the university. The new institute was officially inaugurated in October 2010.
At that time, the department of the Mechanical Engineering was named as School of Mechanical
and Industrial Engineering (SMiE).
Statistical data of Addis Ababa University shows that the total number of mechanical
engineers that graduated from the University with B.Sc. degree during the period 1963 – 2018 is
more than 2000.
As of recent years, stakeholders and employers have expressed concerns that the graduates of
the School lack practical and innovative skills. This lack has been coupled by deficiency in
communication and managerial skills of the graduates. It is believed that this new modularized
curriculum (2018 revision) has incorporated the necessary changes that will address the issues
raised by stakeholders and employers.
1
1.2. Rationale for Modularized Curriculum
Mechanical Engineering is the main field that plays leading roles in the technological
development of a country. The objective of Mechanical Engineering Education up to now was to
educate trainable, broad-based mechanical engineers that can fit in the different applications
areas of mechanical engineering after given on-the-job training for about a year.
The curriculum has been revised several times using the experience of the staff gained from
USA, England, Germany, and Italy. As a result, the curriculum became broad and solid as far as
knowledge transfer is considered through time. Though there have been several attempts to
accommodate the needs of local industry, it was not done in a strategic way to fill the skill gap of
the graduates. In fact, it was supposed that the industries have to streamline graduates to their
particular area by giving them practical on-the-job training for about one year.
However, the School was able to recognize that most of the industries that have been
employing mechanical engineers are small and medium-sized and do not have senior engineers
for coaching the new recruits. As a result, the school is convinced that it is necessary to make the
education more practice-oriented and focused to the different areas of industrial applications in
order to make the engineers more productive. With the increasing number of graduates in
mechanical engineering, it is becoming inevitable that some shall be self-employed. Therefore,
the need for training the graduates in entrepreneurship has become necessary.
On the other hand, the Government of Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia has
demanded the improvement of Engineering Education to make it more relevant to local
industries while having internationally acceptable standards. Therefore, the Ministry of Capacity
Building of Federal Republic of Ethiopia, in partnership with the Federal Republic of Germany,
launched Engineering Capacity Building Program (ECBP). Engineering Education
reform/overhaul which is being carried out in the institute is among the four tasks of this
program.
The School of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, AAiT, Addis Ababa University,
working with the German expert supplied by ECBP developed a new curriculum in 2017. In
general, the curriculum was drafted with the objective of meeting knowledge and skill
requirement of Mechanical Engineers stated in the professional profile.
Finally, this revision was conducted simply by considering the entire drawback collected
from staffs on the existing curriculum (a curriculum revised in 2013). The major change in this
curriculum revision includes; an improvement of the course content, semester & ECTS
2
rearrangement and also mapping of the course outcomes with the program outcomes as per the
European accreditation institution format.
But when these changes are compared with the change which had been conducted in 2013,
this revision is a minor revision. As a reference, the major changes which were made in 2013 on
the older curriculum include the following:
a) More practice-oriented courses were added.
b) The practical education aspect of each course, such as laboratory or workshop exercises,
project work and industrial visits, were enhanced and made explicit in the program.
c) A six-month industrial internship was introduced in the 8th semester.
d) A new course on Mechatronics is included in the curriculum to introduce to students PLC

and computer-based automation of machinery.
e) A course on Quality Management is introduced with the objective of training engineers

who will play important role in quality improvement of manufactured products and/or
technical services.
f) A new course in Entrepreneurship with the objective of training engineers for self-
employment was introduced.
g) Courses that deal with technology for rural development were added in the relevant focus
areas in order to promote agriculture-led industrial development policy of the country.
h) Elective groups focused on specialized application areas are introduced in the last four
semesters. The advantages of grouping students in focus areas are:
 The education is streamlined to different areas of employment;
 Small size class facilitates project and laboratory intensive education.
i) Courses are arranged in modules which are envisaged to be helpful in facilitating

organization facilities and planning of staff requirement in more structured way.
j) In order to accredit the program by European accreditation institution, the introduction of

European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) System was necessary. ECTS credits are a
value allocated to course units to describe the student workload required to complete
them. They reflect the quantity of work each course requires in relation to the total
3
quantity of work required to complete a full year of academic study at the institution that
is, lectures, practical work, seminars, private work- in the library or at home- and
examinations or other assessment activities. Credits thus express a relative value.
1.3. Professional Profile

will depend on availability of space.
14
1.8. Internship (Industry Placement)
The new Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) curriculum in Mechanical Engineering program requires a
one-semester internship (industry placement) after the successful completion of the „holistic
examination‟ given at the end of the 6th 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 Faculty Internship
Coordinator.
A seminar program, organized by the Faculty Internship Coordinator will accompany the
internship semester. Participation in the seminar program is compulsory (mandatory).
At the end of the internship, the student submits to the mentor assigned by the School 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 Mechanical
Engineering students‟ handbook. The report will be assessed by specifically assigned internship
program evaluator (or university professors/lecturers).
In addition, the practice of internship for the extension program was different; as such the
extension students were used to bring a letter from their employee considering that they are on
job training and this has been used for the Internship course evaluation. However such practices
are not found to be effective to engage the student in the real engineering problem based
questions. Apparently, the chance that the student might work on a different sector than an
engineering discipline requires is a concern too, which has enforced the amendment of the
previous practice. Hence, like the regular students, all extension students will register for the
internship course attached to a company with mentors assigned from the school. The students are
expected to write a report and compile it for their evaluation.
15
Unlike regular students the extension student who is working in a company/organization whose
prime activity is related to the teaching can be placed in the
same company/organization provided he/she fulfill the followings:
 A supporting letter from the company/organization indicating the willingness to host the
student,
 Assign supervisor from the hosting company/organization and send monthly evaluations
The Extension Program Office shall aware newly arriving students (before registration) on this
requirement and device a follow-up mechanism.
1.8.1. Objectives
The internship program has the following objectives:
 Expansion of knowledge and acquaintance with industry in the field of mechanical

Engineering.
 Consolidation and deepening of existing knowledge in the mechanical 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):
 Design and construction.

 Laboratory (quality monitoring) work.
 Task management (labor management, logistics).
 Business management, Marketing.
1.8.2. 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:
16
 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.

80-89% C Good Pass
70-79% D Satisfactory Pass
60-69% E Sufficient Pass
Less than 60% F Unsatisfactorily Fail Repeat internship
Explanations:
1) A student who passed (i.e. ECTS grades A–D) cannot re-take an examination in order to
improve his/her grade.
17
2) A student who failed with grade „FX‟ can re-take the examination once in a specially
organized re-sit examination. A re-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
School Academic Commission (SAC). The SAC can make exceptions to this rule, taking into
consideration individual circumstances and merits of the student. The decision of the SAC must
be unanimous. If a unanimous decision cannot be reached after two consecutive board meetings
in which the case was discussed, the chairperson of the board 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.

1.9.2. 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.
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.
1.10. Degree Nomenclature
The degree awarded to students who successfully complete the minimum requirements is the
labeled in English & Amharic.
“Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering”
“የ ሳይን ስ ባችለር ዲግሪ በሜካኒ ካል ምህን ድስና ”
1.11. Teaching-Learning Methods and Materials
The teaching-learning method adopted for the transfer and/or acquisition of knowledge
includes
 Classroom lectures backed by course-work projects, tutorials and assignments;

 Design projects
 Workshop practice and laboratory works
 Presentations;
19
 Industrial visits.
Most of the lectures shall be conducted using LCD projectors. Few courses have textbooks
and bound teaching materials. Additional books for references are available in the Institute‟s
library. The Institute‟s ICT center having a modest number of computers is available for any
problem solving that requires computers. A design room with 40 computers shall be established
during implementation.

8 Number of Students Taking the Module All Year III Students of every batch
10 Module The course is designed to familiarize the students with the basic principles of
description heat and mass transfer mechanisms and applications. Students will learn in
detail
(i) the basic concepts of heat transfer, conduction, convection and
radiation,
(ii) how their combinations contribute in any heat transfer process, and how
a heat transfer process can be made more efficient and how to reduce heat losses.
It would also address various types of heat exchangers, their analysis, selection
and sizing; basics of natural and forced convection, black body radiation,
estimation of radiative heat exchange between two hot black and gray bodies. The
mass transfer mechanism which, from analysis point of view is very similar to heat
transfer mechanism but very different applications has also been included in the
paper discussed. Basic concepts related to mass transfer through diffusion and mass
convection have been dealt in details. Application of mass transfer simultaneously
along with heat transfer in various unit processes of evaporation, distillation,
absorption, adsorption, humidification, dehumidification, drying etc. has also been
described.

10 Module The integration of electronic engineering, electrical engineering, computer technology
description and control engineering with mechanical engineering are increasingly forming a crucial
part in design, manufacturing and maintenance of wide range of engineering products
and processes. In order to help for the proper functioning of a mechanical system,
electrical systems are usually incorporated in mechanical systems, especially to control
the system. The consequence of this interaction of disciplines is the need for mechanical
engineers and technicians to adopt inter-disciplinary and integrative approach. The term
electromechanical systems are used to describe this integrated approach for engineers.

10 Module Students develop the ability to conceptualize, design, and implement supply chains aligned
description with product, market, and customer characteristics. Business competition is now between
supply networks rather than individual corporations. Managing the flow of products,
information, and revenue across supply chains differentiates the ability of supply networks
to fulfill customer needs. Students develop the ability to evaluate how information flows
can substitute for the stock of physical resources, such as inventory, and why such systems
succeed or fail. They assess how internet technologies, dynamic markets, and globalization
are impacting supply chain strategies and practices, including logistics, digital coordination
of decisions and resources, inventory and risk management, procurement and supply
contracting, product and process design, and revenue management.
