HNDE Electrical Syllabus problems





According to the FINAL REPORT PHASE 2 – SYLLABUS SEMESTER SYSTEM ELECTRICAL 2010 and FINAL REPORT PHASE 2 – SYLLABUS MECHANICAL ENGINEERING MARCH 2010\

1)   No place in the syllabus where  microcontrollers are covered in ELECTRICAL engineering. ( But syllabus for mechanical engineering has 8051 Microcontroller as a part of their Mechatronics II ME 3124 subject for third year which is the same microcontroller used in Open University of Sri Lanka for ECX4236[microprocessors and interfacing] subject. Plus ECX4236 is a common subject for all deciplines of except civil engineering at OUSL  )

2)   PLC designing and programming, and Numerical controls theories are taught for Industrial electronics subject which is an optional subject for Telecommunication electrical engineering.(PID is also taught in ME 2114 Control Systems and Introduction to Mechatronics for mechanical engineering in mechanical engineering)
3)  Engineering Mathematics with Mat lab MA2101 subject is common for Electrical and Mechanical engineering but its applications for engineering is not discussed at any subject of Electrical engineering. (ME 2114 Control Systems and Introduction to Mechatronics Mechanical engineering uses matlab to analysis and compensators design problems )

4)   No practicals sessions for Matlab.
5)   P, PI, PID controllers is not covered at any phase for Power electrical engineering.

6)   Numerical controls for telecommunication electrical engineering contains the following topics for EE 3113 Industrial Electronics

But the syllabus for mechanical engineering covers the following topics for numerical controls for ME2215 CAD/CAM subject.

according to the lecture hours spent the EE 3113 Industrial Electronics takes 2 hours more to cover 1/3 of what is taught for ME2215 CAD/CAM.
