Dean’s Message
As the Dean of the Faculty of Technology, it gives me great pleasure to welcome you to
the faculty. The critical role of the technological sciences in the development of any
economy or society is universally recognized.

Our responsibility as educators is to
equip the minds and mould the talents
of young men and women to produce
highly competent technological
professionals who could readily adapt to
the demands of work environment and society in general. The
Faculty’s technology curricula – Engineering Technology,
Biosystems Technology and Information and Communication
Technology – places heavy emphasis on the world of work and our
students require much sacrifice to achieve success.
The Faculty has a core of highly qualified, experienced,
hardworking and committed academic staff, supplemented by
similarly qualified and experienced lecturers from the industry. In
accordance with the government’s national planning, the Faculty
will be established in the proposed Techno City at Pitipana,
Homagama. The proposed environment friendly ultra-modern
facility will house 40 state of the art laboratories for teaching and
research purposes. As such we expect many of our graduates to
hold key positions in public and private sectors both nationally and
internationally.

The education of a technologist must encompass a broad
spectrum of disciplines to meet the varied demands of economic
development, especially in a developing country such as Sri Lanka.
Our students must therefore show great discipline and application
in the pursuit of their academic goals.
We are highly optimistic that the Faculty will secure the benchmark
position in the technology university education in Sri Lanka with the
commitments of the staff and together with our students and
graduates. The task is enormous, yet I remain confident that we will
be able to achieve our mission successfully.

The Faculty has been established as a pioneering Faculty in Sri I wish you a bright future.
Lankan State University system for producing quality technology
graduates. The technology degree programmes have been Prof. Prashantha B. Mandawala
designed to cater the above needs while satisfying the relevant Dean
quality standards. The contribution from the team of consultants Faculty of Technology
played an immense role in this process.

 HISTORY OF THE
T hetheUniversity of Sri Jayewardenepura firstly established as
Vidyodaya University under the Act No 45 of 1958, which
was one of a two premier Buddhist Pirivenas at the turn of the
twentieth century; the Vidyodaya Pirivena, at Maligakanda,
Colombo. Ven. Welivitiye Soratha Maha Thero, the Principal of the
Vidyodaya Pirivena at the time, was appointed as the first
Vice-Chancellor of the Vidyodaya University. The university
ceremonially opened on 16th February 1959. The university was
shifted to the present location in Gangodawila, affected on 22
November 1961.
The Vidyodaya University commenced its academic activities with
the five faculties: Buddhist Studies, Philosophy, Languages, Arts,
and Ayurveda and Science. However the initial academic staff and
students were only males and the major population of these two
parties were composed predominately of Buddhist Monks. The
enactment of the Higher Education 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 administrative appointees had
to satisfy criteria determined by the National Council of Higher
Education.

UNIVERSITY OF
SRI JAYEWARDENEPURA
During the insurgency period in 1971 to 1972, an Army detention
camp for suspected insurgents was implemented in the university
premises. Thus the university functioned from several locations in
Colombo, maintaining the basic academic and administrative
services. Under the University of Ceylon Act No.1 of 1972,
Vidyodaya University became Vidyodaya Campus, accompanied
with other universities to become 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 as University of Sri
Jayewardenepura, while assigning some of the coordinating
functions to a new University Grants Commission (UGC).
After 1978, with the rapid development in Higher Education, the
University of Sri Jayewardenepura has increased to number of
faculties; Faculty of Medical Sciences, Faculty of Graduate Studies,
Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Applied Science, and 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.

THE FACULTY OF TECHNOLOGY
The 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 education which embraces
competencies to satisfy the needs of the nation.
The GCE Advanced Level examination although a certification
examination, the results of it also serves for the selection of
students for Sri Lankan universities and other higher education
institutes. The examinations under this newly introduced
technology stream were held for the first time in the year 2015.
Hence the introduction of new undergraduate programs into the
Sri Lankan university system will provide an avenue for those who
are ambitious to work in the industry and/or pursue higher
studies under technology stream.
University of Sri Jayewardenepura had come forward accepting to
establish the first ever Faculty of Technology in a Sri Lankan
university to support this government initiation. Thus the project
of Establishment of Faculty of Engineering and Technology at the
University of Sri Jayewardenepura was initiated in July 2013 by
the former Vice Chancellor Dr. N. L. A. Karunaratne by appointing
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
