Faculty of Technology was established in 2015 fulfilling a long-standing void in the Sri Lankan education system Before that there were very few opportunities for technological studies available for prospective students When the government of Sri Lanka decided to introduce a technology stream for 2015 GCE Advanced Level examinations it became a necessity to generate firm higher education routes for students who follow technology subjects

At that very moment the University of Sri Jayewardenepura stepped forward bravely to establish the first Faculty of Technology in Sri Lanka cater to this growing need It was not an easy task to initiate and organize a new faculty at the exact rapidity the situation demanded but we are proud to look back at the process just to realize not only that

we have been able to achieve this dream but also we keep exceeding the

initial expectations

Four years since the establishment we are proud to continue to grow as

the leader in Technology education in Sri Lanka dedicating our efforts

effectively to deliver high-quality undergraduate programs paving clear

career paths for the Sri Jayewardenepura technology graduates by

Buddhist monks With the enactment of the Higher Education Act

No 20 of 1966 far reaching changes were brought to the university

sector in Sri Lanka such as opening the university admission to

female students The post of Vice-chancellor was no longer

restricted to the Sangha And all academic and administrative

appointees were subjected to satisfy a criteria determined by the

National Council of Higher Education

During the insurgency in 1971 to 1972 the University premises were

used to implement an army detention camp for suspected

insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several

locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic

and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of

Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya

campus accompanied by other Universities to become the

University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by

the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of

1978 the independent University status was restored at University

of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating

functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)

development should be targeted while providing basic language input

to the undergraduates So that the students who finally leave us will

be confident charismatic personalities not afraid of using English as a

second language even if he or she has not attained perfection in it yet

At the end of the English language leaning programme the students

are encouraged to follow other optional English courses offered by

ELTU such as the Certificate Course in English

Evaluation

HISTORY OF THE

The University of Sri Jayewardenepura firstly established as the

Vidyodaya University under the Act No 45 of 1998 It was one of the

two premier Buddhist Pirivenas as the turn of the twentieth century

Evolved from the Vidyodaya Pirivena at Maligakanda Colombo Ven

Welivitaye Soratha Maha Thero the principal of the Vidyodaya

Pirivena at that time was appointed as the first Vice-chancellor of

the Vidyodaya University The University ceremonially opened on

16th February 1959 The University was moved to the present

location in Gangodawila on 22nd November 1961

The Vidyodaya University commenced its academic activities with

the five faculties Buddhist studies Philosophy Languages Arts

Ayurveda and Science In earlier days majority of the academic staff

and students were males and majority of both these parties were

Buddhist monks With the enactment of the Higher Education Act

No 20 of 1966 far reaching changes were brought to the university

sector in Sri Lanka such as opening the university admission to

female students The post of Vice-chancellor was no longer

restricted to the Sangha And all academic and administrative

appointees were subjected to satisfy a criteria determined by the

National Council of Higher Education

During the insurgency in 1971 to 1972 the University premises were

used to implement an army detention camp for suspected

insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several

locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic

and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of

Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya

campus accompanied by other Universities to become the

University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by

the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of

1978 the independent University status was restored at University

of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating

functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)

Aligning with the rapid development in higher education after 1978

the University of Sri Jayewardenepura increased the number of

faculties Faculty of Medical Sciences Faculty of Graduate Studies

Faculty of Arts Faculty of Applied Science Faculty of Management

Studies and Commerce Postgraduate Institute of Management

(located in Colombo) and two newly established faculties Faculty of

Technology and Faculty of Engineering are functional as of year

development should be targeted while providing basic language input

to the undergraduates So that the students who finally leave us will

be confident charismatic personalities not afraid of using English as a

second language even if he or she has not attained perfection in it yet

At the end of the English language leaning programme the students

are encouraged to follow other optional English courses offered by

ELTU such as the Certificate Course in English

Buddhist monks With the enactment of the Higher Education Act

No 20 of 1966 far reaching changes were brought to the university

sector in Sri Lanka such as opening the university admission to

female students The post of Vice-chancellor was no longer

restricted to the Sangha And all academic and administrative

appointees were subjected to satisfy a criteria determined by the

National Council of Higher Education

During the insurgency in 1971 to 1972 the University premises were

used to implement an army detention camp for suspected

insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several

locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic

and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of

Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya

campus accompanied by other Universities to become the

University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by

the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of

1978 the independent University status was restored at University

of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating

functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)

Aligning with the rapid development in higher education after 1978

the University of Sri Jayewardenepura increased the number of

faculties Faculty of Medical Sciences Faculty of Graduate Studies

Faculty of Arts Faculty of Applied Science Faculty of Management

Studies and Commerce Postgraduate Institute of Management

(located in Colombo) and two newly established faculties Faculty of

Technology and Faculty of Engineering are functional as of year

HISTORY OF THE

The University of Sri Jayewardenepura firstly established as the

Vidyodaya University under the Act No 45 of 1998 It was one of the

two premier Buddhist Pirivenas as the turn of the twentieth century

Evolved from the Vidyodaya Pirivena at Maligakanda Colombo Ven

Welivitaye Soratha Maha Thero the principal of the Vidyodaya

Pirivena at that time was appointed as the first Vice-chancellor of

the Vidyodaya University The University ceremonially opened on

16th February 1959 The University was moved to the present

location in Gangodawila on 22nd November 1961

The Vidyodaya University commenced its academic activities with

the five faculties Buddhist studies Philosophy Languages Arts

Ayurveda and Science In earlier days majority of the academic staff

and students were males and majority of both these parties were

Buddhist monks With the enactment of the Higher Education Act

No 20 of 1966 far reaching changes were brought to the university

sector in Sri Lanka such as opening the university admission to

female students The post of Vice-chancellor was no longer

restricted to the Sangha And all academic and administrative

appointees were subjected to satisfy a criteria determined by the

National Council of Higher Education

During the insurgency in 1971 to 1972 the University premises were

used to implement an army detention camp for suspected

insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several

locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic

and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of

Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya

campus accompanied by other Universities to become the

University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by

the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of

1978 the independent University status was restored at University

of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating

functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)

Aligning with the rapid development in higher education after 1978

the University of Sri Jayewardenepura increased the number of

faculties Faculty of Medical Sciences Faculty of Graduate Studies

Faculty of Arts Faculty of Applied Science Faculty of Management

Studies and Commerce Postgraduate Institute of Management

(located in Colombo) and two newly established faculties Faculty of

Technology and Faculty of Engineering are functional as of year

Vidyodaya University under the Act No 45 of 1998 It was one of the

two premier Buddhist Pirivenas as the turn of the twentieth century

Evolved from the Vidyodaya Pirivena at Maligakanda Colombo Ven

Welivitaye Soratha Maha Thero the principal of the Vidyodaya

Pirivena at that time was appointed as the first Vice-chancellor of

the Vidyodaya University The University ceremonially opened on

16th February 1959 The University was moved to the present

location in Gangodawila on 22nd November 1961

The Vidyodaya University commenced its academic activities with

the five faculties Buddhist studies Philosophy Languages Arts

Ayurveda and Science In earlier days majority of the academic staff

and students were males and majority of both these parties were

Buddhist monks With the enactment of the Higher Education Act

No 20 of 1966 far reaching changes were brought to the university

sector in Sri Lanka such as opening the university admission to

female students The post of Vice-chancellor was no longer

restricted to the Sangha And all academic and administrative

appointees were subjected to satisfy a criteria determined by the

National Council of Higher Education

During the insurgency in 1971 to 1972 the University premises were

used to implement an army detention camp for suspected

insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several

locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic

and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of

Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya

campus accompanied by other Universities to become the

University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by

the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of

1978 the independent University status was restored at University

of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating

functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)

Aligning with the rapid development in higher education after 1978

the University of Sri Jayewardenepura increased the number of

faculties Faculty of Medical Sciences Faculty of Graduate Studies

Faculty of Arts Faculty of Applied Science Faculty of Management

Studies and Commerce Postgraduate Institute of Management

(located in Colombo) and two newly established faculties Faculty of

Technology and Faculty of Engineering are functional as of year

The aim of the ELTU of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura is to

make English available accessible and eventually familiar to all

students of the Faculty of Technology

The ELTU 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 charismatic personalities not afraid of using English as a

second language even if he or she has not attained perfection in it yet

At the end of the English language leaning programme the students

are encouraged to follow other optional English courses offered by

ELTU such as the Certificate Course in English

Evaluation

Welivitaye Soratha Maha Thero the principal of the Vidyodaya

Pirivena at that time was appointed as the first Vice-chancellor of

the Vidyodaya University The University ceremonially opened on

16th February 1959 The University was moved to the present

location in Gangodawila on 22nd November 1961

The Vidyodaya University commenced its academic activities with

the five faculties Buddhist studies Philosophy Languages Arts

Ayurveda and Science In earlier days majority of the academic staff

and students were males and majority of both these parties were

Buddhist monks With the enactment of the Higher Education Act

No 20 of 1966 far reaching changes were brought to the university

sector in Sri Lanka such as opening the university admission to

female students The post of Vice-chancellor was no longer

restricted to the Sangha And all academic and administrative

appointees were subjected to satisfy a criteria determined by the

National Council of Higher Education

During the insurgency in 1971 to 1972 the University premises were

used to implement an army detention camp for suspected

insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several

locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic

and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of

Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya

campus accompanied by other Universities to become the

University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by

the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of

1978 the independent University status was restored at University

of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating

functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)

Aligning with the rapid development in higher education after 1978

the University of Sri Jayewardenepura increased the number of

faculties Faculty of Medical Sciences Faculty of Graduate Studies

Faculty of Arts Faculty of Applied Science Faculty of Management

Studies and Commerce Postgraduate Institute of Management

(located in Colombo) and two newly established faculties Faculty of

Technology and Faculty of Engineering are functional as of year

insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several

locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic

and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of

Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya

campus accompanied by other Universities to become the

University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by

the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of

1978 the independent University status was restored at University

of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating

functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)

used to implement an army detention camp for suspected

insurgents Therefore the university functioned from several

locations in Colombo area in order to maintain the basic academic

and administrative services undisrupted Under the University of

Ceylon Act No 1 of 1972 Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya

campus accompanied by other Universities to become the

University of Sri Lanka headed by a campus president appointed by

the Minister of Education Then under the Universities Act No 16 of

1978 the independent University status was restored at University

of Sri Jayewardenepura while assigning some of the coordinating

functions to newly formed University Grants Commission (UGC)

development should be targeted while providing basic language input

to the undergraduates So that the students who finally leave us will

be confident charismatic personalities not afraid of using English as a

second language even if he or she has not attained perfection in it yet

At the end of the English language leaning programme the students

are encouraged to follow other optional English courses offered by

ELTU such as the Certificate Course in English

The aim of the ELTU of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura is to

make English available accessible and eventually familiar to all

students of the Faculty of Technology

The ELTU 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 charismatic personalities not afraid of using English as a

second language even if he or she has not attained perfection in it yet

At the end of the English language leaning programme the students

are encouraged to follow other optional English courses offered by

ELTU such as the Certificate Course in English

Evaluation

The aim of the ELTU of the University of Sri Jayewardenepura is to

make English available accessible and eventually familiar to all

students of the Faculty of Technology

The ELTU 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 charismatic personalities not afraid of using English as a

second language even if he or she has not attained perfection in it yet

At the end of the English language leaning programme the students

are encouraged to follow other optional English courses offered by

ELTU such as the Certificate Course in English

Evaluation

1 Sixty marks are allocated for the final written paper

based on reading writing skills (UTEL bench marks are

used for this evaluation process)

2 Forty marks are allocated for the continuous assessment

based on listening and speaking skills (UTEL bench marks

are used for this evaluation process)

Grading system

Semester Grade Point Average

The calculation of the Semester Grade Point Average (SGPA) will be based on the

summation of Grade Points earned for all GPA modules registered (except those

awarded with academic concession or withdrawn) in a semester weighted according

to number of credits as per the following formula Where Ci is the number of credits

for the i th module in a given semester and GPi is the grade points earned for that

module and n is the number of GPA modules in the semester

Evaluation and Grading of Modules

FACULTY OF TECHNOLOGY PROSPECTUS | 2019-20 | 121

Cumulative Grade Point Average

The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) describes a students current standing

in terms of grade points earned for all GPA modules registered up to a given point of

time (except those with academic concession andor medical reasons) weighted

according to number of credits as per the following formula Where Ci is the number

of credits for the i th module and GPi is the grade points earned for that module and

n is the total number of registered GPA modules

Note The weightage for each semester is taken as uniform for the calculation of CGPA All

semesters must be successfully completed for the award of the degree
