5. CURRICULUM
It is believed that this new revised curriculum developed has incorporated the
necessary changes that will address the issues raised by stakeholders and
employers as well as the specific objectives of the Department. The curriculum is
expected to give the student a strong broad based background in Mechanical
Engineering with focus areas in the local context and limited specialization in some
of the specific areas.
The curriculum has been revised once, 4 years ago, after an internal SWOT
analysis and taking into consideration the laboratory facility and local recourses
available. 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, mostly due to financial and human resource constraints. Electives were
introduced in the previous curriculum at the final year stage to sharpen the skills
in limited areas of specialization. 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 was 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. In recognition of this fact, the
range and scope of electives in this new curriculum have been enlarged while
retaining the broad based nature of educational training in Mechanical
Engineering. 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 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. Engineering Education reform/overhaul which is being carried out in the
College of Engineering and Technology is among the four tasks of this program.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering, College of Engineering and
Technology, Jimma University, working with the expert supplied by ECBP has
developed this new curriculum. In general the curriculum was drafted with the
objective of meeting knowledge and skill requirement of Mechanical Engineers
stated in the professional profile. The draft curriculum was exhaustively discussed
in a workshop convened with stakeholders encompassing a wide spectrum and the
issues raised, feedback received and suggestions forwarded were deliberated and
incorporated in this final draft of the curriculum.
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, i.e, lectures,
practical work, seminars, private work- in the library or at home- and
examinations or other assessment activities. Credits thus express a relative
value.
Taking into account the present Ethiopian industrial scenario, this new curriculum
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 Industrial & Manufacturing Engineering and Sugar
Engineering might serve as focus areas for specialization or streamlining in the
broad area of mechanical engineering.
All the courses in the curriculum have been grouped under the following 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 curriculum, all students will take similar
courses in the first six 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 seventh 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
Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering Module
The description of each of the above mentioned modules is as follows
The B.Sc thesis is the final element of the study program. Each student will work
on an individual thesis topic under the supervision of faculty advisor or/and
professional advisor from the industry. The B.Sc. thesis will help the student to
integrate what he has learned in five years to solve a real world problem while
bringing in his creative abilities and problem solving skills. Besides solving a
particular problem, the student will acquire skills in general problem solving
methodology using data collection and protocol development via literature survey,
research tools and interpretation techniques. The experience will also enhance the
skill of graduates in report writing, and documentation and presentation.
a) Regular students who fulfill the following criteria are eligible for admission to
the Department:
- Preparatory complete with a pass in the national examination
- Above average grades in Technical Drawing, Physics and Mathematics
- Good performance in the assessment semester.
b) Students who complete 10+3 TVET programs related to mechanical
engineering with very good performance and who have attended a bridging
programme in physical sciences can be also be considered for admission,
although their acceptance will depend on availability of space.
A student is required to take courses that will bring the total credit hours to 173
3 (Total ECTS 300 3). 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 Jimma University graduation requirements.
The duration of the program to successfully complete the study is five years for
generic students.
5.10.2. Methodology
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.
Tools
o Black boards
o White Pen boards
o Over head Projectors
o LCD Projectors
o Audio-visual equipment
o ICT related peripherals and softwares
Due emphasis would be given in the teaching-learning process, not only towards
the building of technical and professional core competencies but also for imparting
and developing the following:
Practical problem solving skills,
Analytical and modeling skills,
Computer-related skills
Reasoning skills,
Fault diagnosis-repair and maintenance skills,
Innovative product design and development skills,
Drafting skills
Reporting /Communicative English
Managerial/Organizational skills
Behavioral and interpersonal skills
An objective of education should be to help students build their skills in both their
preferred and less preferred modes of learning. Learning style models that
categorize these modes provide good frame works for designing instruction in
engineering education with the desired breadth. Four different learning style
models like; The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), Kolb‘s Learning Style Model
(KLSM), Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) and Felder-Silverman
Learning Style Model (FSLM) have been used effectively in engineering education
in this regard. A learning style model is useful if balancing instruction on each of
the model dimensions meets the learning needs of essentially all students in a
class.
When one takes a closer look at some of the lacunae noticed in the present
practice of engineering instruction, the need for a paradigm shift to remedy the
situation becomes essential. For the past few decades, most engineering
instruction has been heavily biased toward intuitive, verbal, deductive, reflective
and sequential learners. However, relatively few engineering students fall into all
five of the abovementioned categories. Thus most engineering students receive an
education that is mismatched to their learning styles. This could hurt their
performance in tapping their creative potential and their attitudes toward their
courses as well their career. Teaching students about learning styles helps them
learn the course material because they become aware of their thinking processes.
A variety of teaching methods such as group problem solving, brainstorming
activities, creative and innovative design projects and writing exercises in addition
to formal lecturing would greatly help in this regard. HBDI also can serve several
important functions that include: helping students gain insight into their learning
styles and formulate successful learning strategies, helping instructors understand
student‘s questions, comments and answers in the context of their thinking
preferences, helping instructors and students form whole-brain teams for optimum
problem solving and assessing the influence of curriculum changes on individual
and collective student thinking skills.
iii. Strategies
The more the learner gets involved in the learning process, the better he will be
able to absorb, process and retain the information and make use of it in concrete
situations. In the active mode of knowledge and competence construction, the
learner is supported by the teacher- and also by means of targeted and structured
technical impulses The knowledge has a generally higher relevance as regards the
implementation in practice- the transfer turns out to be easier and the learner
experiences learning as a process that he himself can control and steer in steps.
In this context, the potential of blended e-learning (integration of traditional and
e-learning) can be exploited and hence is to be practiced, to the extent possible,
by the use of media and a Learning Management System (LMS). This can be done
by supporting the students to acquire learning contents themselves and by
assisting them as a mentor -not only in situations of physical presence in the class
room, but also outside the class room in the computer lab using the University‘s
own intranet or may be in the internet or even in a field setting. A teacher can
develop new and more interactive learning methods through the use of LMS and
e-learning platforms, depending on the scope and content of his own specific
subjects. Concerted efforts would be made by one and all concerned for its
implementation
Through these project study courses, the learner‘s initiatives are expected to be
developed for use in the world of work. Students would be required to identify the
actual problems during the course of their industrial internship, analyze them
exhaustively for proposing and developing viable solutions for their ultimate
implementation. This exercise is meant give the much needed boost to augment
their real life problem solving skills desperately needed in the present local
context. The scope of these project studies would be so formulated as to create
avenues for the learner to realize his innate creative potential through self learning
and testing, either in physical or virtual reality as may be applicable. In the end,
learners would acquire the confidence of practicing what they have learnt. This
can act as stepping stone for him to attempt and launch developmental endeavors
in the long run.
The learning activities would be extended in to the local communities for making
the education not only learner-centered but also participatory in nature. Teachers,
students, community, governmental and non-governmental /developmental
organizations would all be involved as stakeholders to empower people and affect
development in real terms. Students would be required to identify problems
affecting assigned communities, prioritize them for development of action plans
and for implementation and evaluation, adopting all the while an interdisciplinary
approach. Apart from honing their application and problem solving skills, this
would also enable the students to imbibe a sense of professional commitment to
mitigate the suffering of their fellow citizens, while using technology as a driving
force for development. The whole exercise is meant to integrate educational
training, research and service, both for achieving professional relevance as well as
to carry forward the task of development in the local context

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.
