Message from the Pro Vice Chancellor
A university has two principal functions: providing instruction on matters of intellectual importance
and knowledge creation on those same matters. These two functions, to the extent reasonably
possible, should support one another. University teaching, therefore, is distinguished from other
modes of education not only by seeking the highest levels of sophistication, but also by deriving its
vitality from the atmosphere of on-going discovery fostered at the institution. The Islamic University of
Technology (IUT) has been established to provide such an environment to the youths of the member
states.
It is an undeniable fact that the Islamic world is lagging behind in the STEM fields although many of
them are blessed with considerable natural resources. Therefore human resources development
remains as one of the cherished objectives of the OIC. We have to understand also that if STEM
research is not facilitated, we shall be facing a disastrous consequence in the development of our
nations.
The University uses student-centered methods of instruction to promote students’ own knowledge
search and discovery with assistance. State of the art laboratory equipment, library and
communication facilities are being provided to create an environment that will facilitate and promote
quality education, research and continuing academic development of staff as well. Dynamic course
curriculum and standard examination system are also vital in determining the status of a university. At
IUT we are trying to ensure the above to the best of our abilities.
Initiatives have been taken for a strategic development plan to improve the MPE department for the
next generation of engineers. Students get to work on industry relevant research projects during their
courses and have a clear idea about the outcome of each course. The university is generous in sharing
student’s home cultures with their classmates that will help intellectually and is culturally rewarding.
The university is encouraging students to participate in technical competitions apart from their regular
classes, for the sake of invention and building leadership. There are many ways to become a global
citizen and there is no better time to start than now.

General Information: Islamic University of Technology
1.1 Origin
Islamic University of Technology at Dhaka, Bangladesh commonly known as IUT is a
subsidiary organ of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC), representing
fifty seven member countries from Asia, Africa, Europe and South America. It was
initially established as the Islamic Centre for Technical and Vocational Training and
Research, ICTVTR in pursuance of the Resolution No. 5/9-E of the Ninth Islamic
Conference of Foreign Ministers (ICFM) held in Dakar, Senegal in 1978. The foundation
stone of ICTVTR was laid on 27 March 1981 on the 30-acre land donated by the
Government of the People’s Republic of Bangladesh to the OIC.
The first batch of students was admitted in the academic year 1986-87 and its first
graduation ceremony was held on 21 October 1987. ICTVTR was renamed as the
Islamic Institute of Technology (IIT), by the Seventh Islamic Summit and the 22nd
ICFM held in Casablanca, Morocco on 10-15 December 1994. It is mandated to help
develop human resources in the Member Countries of the OIC in the fields of
engineering and technology as well as technical education. In appreciation of the
activities of IIT, the 28th session of the ICFM held in Bamako, Republic of Mali on 25-27
June 2001, renamed IIT as Islamic University of Technology (IUT). The renaming of IIT
as IUT is an important milestone in the annals of this unique educational institution,

4.3 Assessment and Grading Systems
Distribution of Marks
The performance of a student in a course is evaluated based on a scheme of
continuous assessment, mid-term and semester final examinations. For theory
courses, this continuous assessment is made through a set of quizzes, class
participation, and assignment. The assessment in laboratory/sessional courses is
made through observation of the students and viva-voce during laboratory hours, and
quizzes. The distribution of marks in the continuous assessment, mid-term and
semester-final examinations are followed as per approved rules mentioned in
chapter 2.
Letter Grades
Letter grades and corresponding grade points are awarded in accordance with the
approved provisions.
Assignment of Credits
Each theory or lab course is assigned a weekly contact hours. The credit hours a
course is directly related to the weekly contact hours of the course. The credit hours of
a theory course is equal to the weekly contact hour of the course, the credit hours of a
lab course is half of the weekly contact hours of the course. One contact hour refers to
a 50 minute class in each week of a semester.
Grade Point Average
The overall academic progress of a student in a semester is assessed by calculating
grade point average (GPA). The grade points obtained by a student in a course is the
product of the credit hours of the course and the equivalent grade point
corresponding to the letter grade obtained by the student in that course. Grade Point
Average (GPA) is the weighted average of the grade points obtained in all the courses
passed/completed by a student.
Where,
n = Number of courses offered in a semester
Ci = Credit hours of the ith course
GPi = Grade Point obtained in the ith course
Page 40
4.4 Course Code Details
