We believe in moving along with changing �mes and trends to groom future genera�ons that are efficient, professional and who are equipped with

cu�ng-edge thinking. It is the reason why we are in constant search of ways to upgrade the university’s course line-up.

The field of technological studies has been a long standing need in our country’s educa�on system. There were very few opportuni�es available in this line of study for prospec�ve students. When the government of Sri Lanka decided to introduce a technology stream in 2015 for G.C.E. Advanced Level examina�ons, it became necessary for the higher educa�on system to create new routes for these students accordingly. The University of Sri Jayewardenepura stepped forward to cater to this growing need by establishing the Faculty of Technology and opening its doors for technology students. Although it is a difficult task to organize a new faculty at the exact rapidity the situa�on demanded, we have been able to realize this dream and welcome the third in-take this year. The Faculty of Technology is endowed with a fully opera�onal team to begin working with our new students.

The Faculty of Technology is yet another milestone in the proud history of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura. As always, it is our passion to introduce new and innova�ve pathways to the Sri Lankan academic field.

We understand the present compe��veness in the domain of technology professionals. Therefore we have designed several courses to help students to obtain the best possible skills and knowledge to prepare themselves for such compe��veness. In �me they will contribute to the country’s development in numerous valuable ways and they will proudly call themselves an essen�al human resource in Sri Lanka’s way forward.

I welcome you to the University of Sri Jayewardenepura and wish you all the best.

ORY

The University of Sri Jayewardenepura firstly established as the Vidyodaya University under the Act No 45 of 1958, which was one of a two premier Buddhist Pirivenas at the turn of the twen�eth century; the Vidyodaya Pirivena, at Maligakanda, Colombo. Ven. Welivi�ye Soratha Maha Thero, the Principal of the Vidyodaya Pirivena at the �me, was appointed as the first Vice-Chancellor of the Vidyodaya University. The university ceremonially opened on 16th February 1959. The university was shi�ed to the present loca�on in Gangodawila, on 22nd November 1961.

The Vidyodaya University commenced its academic ac�vi�es with the five facul�es: Buddhist Studies, Philosophy, Languages, Arts, and Ayurveda and Science. However the ini�al academic staff and students were only males and the major popula�on of these two par�es were composed predominately of Buddhist Monks. The enactment of the Higher Educa�on Act No 20 of 1966 brought far reaching changes to the university scene in Sri Lanka, and consequently, university admission was opened to female students as well. The post of Vice-Chancellor would no longer be restricted to the Sangha, and all academic and administra�ve appointees had to sa�sfy criteria determined by the Na�onal Council of Higher Educa�on.

During the insurgency period in 1971 to 1972, an Army deten�on camp for suspected insurgents was implemented in the university premises. Thus the university func�oned from several loca�ons in Colombo, maintaining the basic academic and administra�ve services. Under the University of Ceylon Act No.1 of 1972, Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya Campus, accompanied with other universi�es to become University of Sri Lanka, headed by a Campus President, appointed by the Minister of Educa�on. Then under the Universi�es Act No.16 of 1978, the independent university status was restored as University of Sri Jayewardenepura, while assigning some of the coordina�ng func�ons to a new University Grants Commission (UGC).

A�er 1978, with the rapid development in Higher Educa�on, the University of Sri Jayewardenepura has increased the number of facul�es; Faculty of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Graduate Studies, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Applied Science, and Faculty of Management Studies and Commerce, Postgraduate Ins�tute of Management (located in Colombo) and two newly established facul�es; Faculty of Technology and Faculty of Engineering.

HISTORY OF

THE FACULTY OF TECHNOLOGYThe Government of Sri Lanka introduced the Technology stream to the GCE Advanced Level in 2013 as a strategy to harness talents of youth by providing an educa�on which embraces competencies to sa�sfy the needs of the na�on.

The GCE Advanced Level examina�on although a cer�fica�on examina�on, the results of it also serves for the selec�on of students for Sri Lankan universi�es and other higher educa�on ins�tutes. The examina�ons under this newly introduced technology stream were held for the first �me in the year 2015. Hence, the introduc�on of new undergraduate programs into the Sri Lankan university system will provide an avenue for those who are ambi�ous to work in the industry and/or pursue higher studies under the technology stream.

University of Sri Jayewardenepura had come forward accep�ng to establish the first ever Faculty of Technology in a Sri Lankan university to support this government ini�a�on. Thus the project of Establishment of Faculty of Engineering and Technology at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura was ini�ated in July 2013 by the former Vice Chancellor Dr. N. L. A. Karunaratne by appoin�ng Prof. P. B. Mandawala to coordinate the project of Establishing the Faculty of Engineering and Technology.

Upon taking his chair as the newly appointed Vice Chancellor of

the University of Sri Jayewardenepura, Prof. Sampath Amaratunge, shouldered the responsibili�es of the process of establishing the Faculty of Engineering and Technology. With his leadership the University Council appointed an advisory board consis�ng of four eminent academics; Prof. D. A. Tantrigoda (Chairman), Prof. Ajith Abesekara, Prof. M. M. Karunanayake, and Prof. K. Deheragoda to provide their guidance to this project.

On the recommenda�ons made by the Vice Chancelor and the University Council approved the appointment of two leading academics Prof. Kapila C.K. Perera and Dr. Ranjan Perera. They accepted the Lead Consultants’ role of developing the academic programs for technology degree in March 2015. Simultaneously the Vice Chancellor and the university council approved the appointment of Dr. Rajitha Gunaratne as a Temporary Senior Lecturer to support Lead Consultants in the Curriculum development work. A�er a month’s �me, late Dr. Tharaka Ariyadasa was recruited by the Vice Chancellor as a Temporary Senior Lecturer to strengthen the development team of the Technology faculty. The technology team commenced their work from VC’S lodge which was provided by the Vice Chancellor.

The technology team was thus established and took over the responsibili�es of developing the curricula for three Technology Honours degree programs, fulfilling the need of the technology educa�on in Sri Lanka. Workshops were organized to understand the student’s a�ributes, breadth and depth of the curriculum. Subsequently the progress and the proposed curricula were presented to the University Senate. At this stage the University Senate recommended to establish two separate facul�es for Technology and Engineering.

The proposed Technology curricula were then recommended to the University Council upon the approval of the University Senate on 23rd September, 2015. Followed by the recommenda�on of the University Council on 08th October, University Grants Commission approved the proposed Technology curricula for three honours

degree programs including the 9 specialized subject areas on 19th November, 2015.

Progress of the Establishment of the first ever Faculty of Technology in Sri Lanka was presented to the President of Sri Lanka His Excellency Maithripala Sirisena, to the Minister of Higher Educa�on and Highways Hon. Lakshman Kiriella and State Minister of Higher Educa�on Hon. Mohan Lal Grero by the Vice Chancellor on several occasions.

At the ini�al stage the Faculty of Technology was established at a temporary premises in Nugegoda and then will be permanantly shi�ed to the proposed Techno Park, Pi�pana. The government of Sri Lanka has allocated required funding and a land as a result of the tremendous efforts by the university administra�on led by the Vice Chancellor, Registrar, and his Administra�ve Team together with the Program Coordinator and the Academic Consulta�ve Teams.

Fulfilling the immense efforts, dedica�on, and the vision of Prof. Sampath Amaratunge, Vice Chancellor, University of Sri Jayewardenepura and his teams, Ministry of Higher Educa�on and Highways of Sri Lanka officially announced the establishment of the Faculty of Technology through the Gaze�e Extraordinary (No. 1948/59 Order under Sec�on 27(1), The Universi�es Act, No. 16 of 1978) that was published on 8th of January, 2016.

The aim of the DELTU of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura is to make English available, accessible and eventually familiar, to all students of the Faculty of Technology.

The DELTU has designed all its courses in alignment with the UTEL (University Test of English Language) bandings.

It is our belief that the knowledge of English and overall personality development should be targeted while providing basic language input to the undergraduates. So that the students who finally leave us will be confident, charisma�c personali�es not afraid of using English as a second language even if he or she has not a�ained perfec�on in it yet. At the end of the English language leaning programme the students are encouraged to follow other op�onal English courses offered by DELTU such as the Cer�ficate Course in English.
