On account of the interplay of different factors, such as financial constraints, scarcity of qualified and experienced human resources and infrastructural bottlenecks, some of the lacunae noticed in the present Engineering Education scenario in Ethiopia can be stated as follows. Curricula with inadequate emphasis vis--vis relevance in the Ethiopian Context Learning in bits and pieces, without integration, affecting the comprehensive vision required for new and innovative product development in the local context Unabridged gap between concepts and implementation technicalities that tend to bring in some sort of diffidence amongst students Little or no familiarity with industry norms/current practices due to the lack of exposure on a continuous basis during the learning phase Limited avenues for the student to carry forward his creative ideas to fruition, in a real sense, affecting the blossoming of talent to a great extent No attempts pertaining to assembling/disassembling of prototypes with many components that can bring in consciousness related to meticulous attention to minute detail in practice such as fits/tolerances/sequencing/alignments etc. Practical instruction/demonstration being limited to laboratory practice (with whatever equipment that is available) No or very little efforts aimed at imparting equipment maintenance/repair skills Differences in perceptions that continue to prevail concerning the laboratory and real world work environment (Lab. Equipment being tailor made and extensively instrumented, that too for the most part hidden, fail to portray the resemblance with actual prototypes that one would actually employ) Application skills, mostly limited to design (as such parameterization) of components/systems with very little or no effort aimed at performance Xxx University | Xxxx Technology 12
Harmonized BSc Curricula | Department of Mechanical Engineering | Mar 2013 prediction of the designed component under part load or widely varying operating conditions Missing links with regard to the access for latest information related to design data, material criteria and lack of differentiation between what is suitable vis--vis what is available. Very little exposure to scientific magazines/professional journals affecting the future vision and strategic career planning Minimal use of teaching aids like wall mounted displays, audio-visuals and their integration with ICT (for greater effectiveness and impact)
As of recent years, stakeholders and employers have expressed concerns pertaining to Deficiency of the curricula in relation to the actual world of work and practical/communication/managerial skills Deficiency of the curricula with respect to the new technological developments and trends vis--vis local/regional needs Inappropriate methodology of education and training that mainly focuses on theory and class room work Absence or inadequate link with industry, work places and stake holders Lack of periodic and continuous evaluation/updating of the teachinglearning process 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. 5.2. Rationale for Curriculum Mechanical Engineering, with a diverse range of specializations, plays a leading role in the technological development of a country. The objective of Mechanical
Harmonized BSc Curricula | Department of Mechanical Engineering | Mar 2013 Engineering Education up to now has been to educate trainable, broad based mechanical engineers that can fit in to the different application areas of mechanical engineering after on the job training for about an year. 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
Harmonized BSc Curricula | Department of Mechanical Engineering | Mar 2013 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. The major changes of the curriculum are including the following. a) Courses are arranged in modules. One of the advantages of such an approach is that a Professor can be made responsible for the management of a module and decide on the matters pertaining to it. b) More practiced oriented courses are added along with electives c) The practical education aspect of each course, such as laboratory or workshop exercises, project work and industrial visits, are enhanced and made explicit in the program. d) A six-month industrial internship was introduced in the 8th semester. e) A new course on Mechatronics is included in the curriculum to introduce to students PLC and computer based automation of machinery. f) A course on Total 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. g) A new course in Entrepreneurship that has the objective of training engineers for self-employment is introduced. h) Courses that deal with appropriate technology for rural development are added in the relevant focus areas in order to promote agricultural led industrial development policy of the country. i) 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; Convenient class size facilitates project and laboratory intensive education..
j)
In order to accredit the program by European accreditation institution, the introduction of European Credit Transfer System (ECTS) was necessary. Xxx University | Xxxx Technology 15
Harmonized BSc Curricula | Department of Mechanical Engineering | Mar 2013 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. 5.3. Structure of Curriculum 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.

5.10.4. Addressing learning needs of all students 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), Kolbs Learning Style Model (KLSM), Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument (HBDI) and Felder-Silverman Xxx University | Xxxx Technology 89
Harmonized BSc Curricula | Department of Mechanical Engineering | Mar 2013 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.
i. Different Learning Styles The MBTI model classifies students either as extraverts or introverts, sensors or intuitors, thinkers or feelers and judgers or perceivers. These MBTI preferences can be combined to form 16 different learning style types. The KLSM categorizes students as having a preference for concrete experience or abstract conceptualization and active experimentation or reflective observation. The HBDI method classifies students in terms of their relative preferences for thinking in four different modes based on the task-specialized functioning of the physical brain. For example, left brain, cerebral denoting logical, analytical, quantitative, factual and critical; left brain, limbic relating to sequential, organized, planned, detailed and structured; right brain, limbic pointing to emotional, interpersonal, sensory, kinesthetic and symbolic; right brain, cerebral identifying with visual, holistic and innovative. The FSLM demarcates the students either as sensing or intuitive learners, visual or verbal learners, inductive or deductive learners, active learners or reflective learners, sequential learners or global learners.
ii. Paradigm Shift 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
Harmonized BSc Curricula | Department of Mechanical Engineering | Mar 2013 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 students questions, comments and answers in the context of their th inking 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 Instructors could greatly improve engineering instruction by increasing the use of methods oriented toward active learners (participatory activities, field related assignment works, team projects), sensing learners (guided practice, real-world applications of fundamental material), and global learners (providing the big picture, showing connections to related material in other courses and to the students experience). It is noted that presenting facts and familiar phenomena first and then to theories and mathematical models rather than always using the fundamentals, then applications approach makes it much more effective. Greater emphasis on active learning experiences in class, replacing formula substitution problems with open-ended questions and problem formulation exercises, usage of extensive cooperative learning and to get the students to teach one another rather than rely exclusively on the instructor can lead to improved student learning, satisfaction with their instruction as well as self confidence that can do wonders to their morale.
iv. Interactive based Blended e-learning
Harmonized BSc Curricula | Department of Mechanical Engineering | Mar 2013 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 Universitys 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
v. Development of learners initiatives through project studies Through these project study courses, the learners 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. Xxx University | Xxxx Technology 92
vi. Community as a setting for participatory based learning 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
vii. Assessment and review of teaching-learning process To achieve quality assurance and to make the system self-correcting type in nature, a series of checks and counter checks would be in-built. Periodic assessment and updating of the teaching-learning methodologies for their impact and effectiveness would be undertaken through independent evaluation schemes involving all of the stakeholders. This also includes assessment of course outlines and the standard of their content in view of the rapid technological advances, the evolving trends of the labor market and a demand driven industrial environment. Achieving close relevance in the Ethiopian context and cost effectiveness of the methodologies/tools being employed, while fulfilling the requirements for international accreditation would be used as the guiding principles in this regard.
Harmonized BSc Curricula | Department of Mechanical Engineering | Mar 2013 5.12. Quality Assurance The quality of the programme offered by the Department is assessed by the performance of its graduates and the impact they bear on the industrial sector of the country.
