1. Introduction
Mechanical Engineering Department of Debre Tabor University has been established in 2005,
with the objective of responding to the need for rapid industrialization and the changing societal
needs of the country for sustainable development. It has graduated 5 batches of engineers. The
first mechanical engineers graduated from Debre Tabor University is in 2009. The Department
believes in cultivating the full potential of students, and the advancement of all forms of
knowledge keeping in pace with international standards of academic quality, including the high
skilled employment needs presented by a growing economy operating in global environment.
Statistical data of Debre Tabor University shows that the total number of mechanical engineers
that graduated from the University with a B.Sc. degree during the period 2009-2013 is 764.
Further examination of the data shows that the number of graduates per year was increasing.
As of recent years, stakeholders and employers have expressed concerns that the graduates of
the Department 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 has incorporated the necessary changes that will address the issues
raised by stakeholders and employers.
2. Rationale/Justification of the Program
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
different countries and universities. 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 Department 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 Department 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 self1

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. 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 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 and European Credit
Transfer System (ECTS) 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
Programmable Logic Controller (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 selfemployment 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 ECTS 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 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.

7. Program Structure
7.1 Scheduling of Courses
Taking into account the present Ethiopian industrial scenario, this new program has been
devised as a Broad-Based Mechanical Engineering program with a limited degree of
streamlining through the introduction of elective subjects. A student can take a maximum of
four electives in his area of interest so as to acquire specialized knowledge. These electives
have been framed keeping their relevance and priority in the Ethiopian context. However, some
element of flexibility has been reserved for future, where in the extent of specialization can be
enhanced by enlarging the number and scope of elective subjects based on a need assessment.
It is then expected that Mechanical Design, Thermal Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering
and Motor Vehicle Engineering might serve as focus areas for specialization or streamlining in
the broad area of mechanical engineering. All the courses in the program have been grouped
under the different modules. A module consists of a number of coherent courses, which are
assembled together to meet the objectives of the module. Such a module arrangement is
envisaged to be helpful in facilitating organization of resources and planning of staff
requirement in more structured way.
In the new Mechanical Engineering program, all students will take similar courses in the first
eight semesters from the following modules.
 Engineering Mathematics and computing skills,
 Humanities and Communication skill module,
 Applied Sciences for Mechanical Engineering module
 Core Mechanical Engineering Module
Starting from the ninth semester, students will take packed electives mainly from one of the
following modules with the objective of giving streamlined education to the different sectors
of the industry.
 Mechanical Design Module
 Thermal Engineering Module
 Motor Vehicle Engineering Module
 Manufacturing Engineering Module
7.2 Course Naming and Coding
Every course has been given an identification tag, characterized by an alphanumeric code. The
set of alphabets preceding the numerals designate the program offering the course. The first
digit in the numeric code indicates the year in which the subject is offered, the second and third
17

Jun-22
digit conveys the module to which the subject belongs to while the last digit represent the actual
number given to that subject in the module. The odd or even nature of the digit, in addition,
also imply the first or second semester in which that subject is offered respectively. For
example,
Number given to the course in the module
Module Number
Year in which the course is offered
Mechanical Engineering
Notethat: The above coding is not be applicable to courses offered by other departments (such
as Economics, English, Civics etc.) and course in community based module.

Course Description
This course is designed for undergraduate students with the aim of producing good citizens. It
emphasizes on equipping learners with the necessary civic competence and active participation
in public life. It will also help them to exercise their democratic rights and discharging their
responsibilities effectively by familiarizing them with necessary civic knowledge and skills. In
countries such as ours, where the process of cultivating modern constitutional and democratic
values in the minds of citizens is experiencing serious challenges, largely because the country
had no established civic culture and partly because these values and principles are not yet wellinstitutionalized, civics and ethical education remains to be imperative. To this end, the course
introduces learners to the basics of civics and ethics, citizenship, morality and the goals of
studying civics and ethics. It exposes students to the meanings, foundations, approaches, values
and principles of ethics and civic virtue that learners must be equipped with both as citizens
and professionals in their encounter with real life situations both to be morally matured and
responsible while making decisions and taking actions. The course also elucidate the nature,
purpose and forms of state and government, constitution, democracy and human rights, the

Course Description
Logic and Critical Thinking is an inquiry that takes arguments as its basic object of
investigation. Logic is concerned with the study of arguments, and it seeks to establish the
conditions under which an argument may be considered acceptable or good. Critical thinking
is an exercise, a habit, a manner of perception and reasoning that has principles of logic as its
fulcrum, and dynamically involves various reasoning skills that ought to be human approach
to issues and events of life. To think critically is to examine ideas, evaluate them against what
you already know and make decisions about their merit. The aim of logic and critical thinking
course is to maintaining an ‘objective’ position. When you think critically, you weigh up all
sides of an argument and evaluate its validity, strengths and weaknesses. Thus, critical thinking
skills entail actively seeking all sides of an argument evaluating the soundness of the claims
asserted and the evidence used to support the claims. This course attempts to introduce the
fundamental concepts of logic and methods of logical reasoning. The primary aim of this course
is to teach students essential skills of analyzing, evaluating, and constructing arguments, and
to sharpen their ability to execute the skills in thinking and writing.

Course Description
This algebra based course provides science students the basic concepts of physics. It also equips
them with the vocabulary, description and quantification of the mechanism of how the natural
world around us behaves. It is also designed on the assumption that, it covers most topics for
much diversified fields of science application, as students inevitably go in different direction.
At the same time it puts on focus the field of physics as a central and binding of all sciences. It
is hoped to provide students with working knowledge of some the problems they face in of
their everyday life. It is also imparts pleasant experience to students knowing that, phenomenon
as complex as the movement of satellites, planets, stars and galaxies are governed with just a
very simple law of gravitation.
The course is organized into 7 chapters. The chapters on mechanics introduce the principles
and laws governing the motion of objects and the interaction between them as well as
conservation laws. The chapter on heat and temperature discusses the interaction between
systems through energy transfer and describes some basic thermal properties of such systems.
The chapters on oscillations, waves and optics provide basic concepts of periodic motions, how
waves transfer energy from one place to the other, and use the concepts of light rays to explain
image formation by mirrors and lenses. Electromagnetism and electronics introduces the basic
electric and magnetic phenomena using the concept of field and treats elementary concepts of
semiconductors. Cross-cutting applications of physics explain the roles of physics in
Agriculture, Industries, Medicine, Archeology, Power Generation, Earth and Space Sciences.
Objectives
At the end of this course; students will able to:
•
Develop knowledge and skills in basic measurement and uncertainty.
•
Understand the basic concepts of physics and the relations between them (Laws).

Course Description
Development efforts of any organization need to include and benefit people with various types
of disabilities, people at risks of exclusion/discrimination and marginalization, through
providing quality education and training, creating equity, accessibility, employability,
promoting prosperity, reducing poverty and enhancing peace, stability and creating inclusive
society. Unfortunately, this has not been the practice for the majority of people with disabilities
and vulnerable groups, due to unfavorable attitude, negligence, inaccessibility and exclusion
from all development endeavors. It is obvious that people with disabilities are the large stand
most disadvantaged minority in the world. They are about 15 percent of the global population
(about one billion people), and 17.6 million in Ethiopia, with most extended families including
someone with a disability (World Health Organization and World Bank and 2011). An
exclusion practice of this large number of persons with disabilities in Ethiopia is an indicator
of violating fundamental human rights that undermines their potential/ability to contribute to
poverty reduction and economic growth within their household, their community and the
country. It is clear that it is not impairment, but the exclusion practices that has contributed for
insecurity (conflict), poverty aggravation for persons with disabilities and vulnerabilities, that
has highly demanding inclusive practices. Exclusion practices of persons with disabilities have
a long history, affecting the life of people with disabilities and the society at large. In the past
and even today people have been discriminated due to their disabilities.
Inclusiveness promotes effective developments through full participation of all members of a
population, people with disabilities and vulnerabilities, where all are equal contributors of
development and equitable beneficiaries. Through inclusive practices, it is possible to identify
and remove social and physical barriers so that people with disabilities and vulnerabilities can
participate and benefit from all developments. Genuine inclusion of people with disabilities
and vulnerabilities allow of them to actively participate in development processes and eliminate
dependence syndrome, leads to broader benefits for families and communities, reduces the
impacts of poverty, and positively contributes to a country’s economic growth, development
and ultimately create inclusive society. All stages of development processes of any
organization should be inclusive through creating equal access to education, health care
services, work and employment, social protection and all development center of human being.

Hence, in this course, the higher education students will learn how to assess, understand and
address the needs of persons with disabilities and vulnerabilities; and provide relevant support
or seek extra support from experts. He/she also learns how to adapt and implementing services
for an inclusive environment that aimed to develop holistic development such as affective,
cognitive and psychosocial skills of the population with disabilities and vulnerabilities.
Identification and removal/management of environmental barriers would find a crucial place
in the course. The students learn how to give more attention and support for persons with;
hearing impairments, visual impairment, deaf-Blind, autism, physical and health impairments,
intellectually
challenged,
emotional
and
behavior
disorders,
learning
difficulty,
communication disorders, vulnerable persons including gifted and talented, and those at risk
due to different reason (persons who are environmentally and culturally deprived, abused,
torched, abandoned, and orphaned..etc.). All University students should be given the chance to
study the specific developmental characteristics of each group of persons with disabilities and
vulnerabilities. Furth more, they also identify the major environmental and social barriers that
hinder the development of individuals; and come up with appropriate intervention strategies in
inclusive settings of their respective professional environment and any development settings
where all citizens are equally benefited.
Objectives
At the end of this course; students will be able to:
•
Identify the needs and potentials of persons with disabilities and vulnerabilities.
•
Identify environmental and social barriers that hinder the needs, potentials and full
participations, in all aspects of life of persons disabilities and vulnerabilities
•
Demonstrate desirable inclusive attitude towards all persons with disabilities and
vulnerabilities in full participations
•

Course Description
The integration of electronic engineering, electrical engineering, computer technology 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.

Course description
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 7th
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.
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 problembased 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
300

internship course attached to a company with mentors assigned from the Department. The
students are expected to write a report and project and compile it for their evaluation.
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
This industrial internship program gives an opportunity for the students to stay in the industrial
environment, trained while working for the whole semester. This is practical industrial training
where the student will have the opportunity to see industrial set ups (or layouts) used to add
value to raw materials, and the opportunity to link the theoretical concepts learnt in classes and
the practice. The student will improve his technical skill, communication skill, confidence,
discipline and ethics etc. The student will learn various production processes, machineries,
material handling equipment and systems, time scheduling, maintenance scheduling, utilization
of manpower, Energy utilization, product/process costing, etc.
Objectives
After completion of the Industrial Internship, the student will acquire:
•
Practical knowledge on how machines and equipment, together with the necessary
manpower and energy inputs, are organized and managed for adding value to raw
materials and produce products useful for the society practical knowledge on internal
components of machines and on how they function
•
Knowledge and understanding on the roles played by, and the importance of other
engineering professions (e.g., electrical, chemical) needed in the industry in parallel
with her/his future profession of mechanical engineering
•
Practice/experience in her/his future profession
•
An understanding on the importance of team work in industries
•
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
At the end, the student is required to produce a comprehensive report on the observations,
findings, problems identified during the stay, proposed solutions to the problems identified etc.
Industrial Internship 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
Contents (chapters)

The nature of industrial internship is somewhat different from the standard courses and, hence,
has no specific course description. This is because transfer of knowledge from the industry to
the student takes place through the activities like:
•
Day-to-day follow-up and participation in industrial activities (operation, production,
maintenance, repair, and, if opportunity exists, installation and commissioning of
machines and equipment)
•
Day-to-day follow-up and critical analysis on how the machineries, human resource,
infrastructure and other inputs (e.g., energy, raw material, products) are managed to
meet the objectives of the industry,
•
Through attending trainings, lectures and seminars delivered by senior technical
personnel from the industry
•
Through interaction, discussions and interviews of technical people working in the
industry, and from the advice and guidance of her/his personal/group internship advisor
assigned by the department.
Teaching and learning methods
Observations, critical evaluation of the observations, exposure to industry technical documents,
Participation in the industrial activities, Interaction (discussion, interview) with the technical
personnel in the industry, Lecture/training from the host industry.
Assessment and evaluation methods
At the end of the internship, the student submits to the mentor assigned by the Department a
comprehensive report and project, duly endorsed by the student’s host company. The report
and project 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).

and skill development includes
 Classroom
Lectures
backed
up
by
Course-Work
Projects,
Tutorials
and
Assignments
 Lectures by Industry professionals and resource persons on a periodic basis
 Interactive based “Blended E-Learning” and other such self-learning modules
 Workshop Practice and Laboratory Exercises
 Practical Demonstrations
 Audio-Visual teaching materials
 Cut-Sectional Model Studies
 Wall mounted display charts
 Field visits related to community development/intervention
341
A Harmonized Curriculum of BSc. Degree in Mechanical Engineering
Jun-22
 Industrial visits
 Practical and development oriented design projects
 Individual and group seminars/Presentations
 Group tasks/discussions/Case studies
 Brain storming sessions
 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.
Materials
Materials used in the teaching-learning methods include:
 Black boards
 White Pen boards
 Over head Projectors
 LCD Projectors
 Audio-visual equipment
 ICT related peripherals and softwares
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. Textbooks 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 more than 40 computers
and the requisite software shall be established during implementation.
8.2 Assessment and Evaluation Strategies
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
342

courses may not have Mid-term Exams; instead students will be evaluated based on project
work.
In the final year, students should be required to present and defend their B.Sc. thesis work in
front of examining professors, lecturers, 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 ‘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
Department Academic Commission (DAC). The DAC can make exceptions to this rule,
taking into consideration individual circumstances and merits of the student. The decision
of the DAC 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.

9.2.2 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.
9.3 Graduation Requirements
A student is required to take courses that will bring the total credit hours total ECTS of 311. A
minimum cumulative grade point average of 2.00 is required in all courses taken. In addition,
a minimum grade point average of 2.00 is required in the core courses of the Department. Other
requirements are same as those of Debre Tabor University (DTU) graduation requirements.
