tive both in industry and research.
In our Department, we provide a support-
ive and stimulating academic environment
to help our undergraduates to excel. This
is not limited to the academic activities.
The undergraduates of the Department
organize the Expose exhibition annually to
showcase their projects/products to the in-
dustry. They foster a strong sense of social
responsibility, which is realized through
activities such as the E-Care program.
This and many other activities are orga-
nized by the E-Club, the agship student
organization in the Department. This way,
we are able to produce graduates who are
excellent in their engineering discipline
and interpersonal skills.
Developments in the electronics, and
telecommunication eld worldwide make it

Engi neer i ng?
T
he competitive environment
prevailing in the electronics,
telecommunications and computer
industries has resulted in the rapid de-
ployment of advanced technologies in Sri
Lanka. Consequently, challenging and lu-
crative career opportunities have become
available to electronic & telecommunica-
tion engineers.
Over the last decade, large networks of
cellular, satellite and data communica-
tion have been introduced to the country,
providing state-of-the-art services. Orga-
nizations providing traditional communica-
tion services are expanding, incorporating
modern technologies into their systems.
Telecommunications engineers have the
opportunity of building their future careers
within these organizations.
The manufacturing and process industries
are becoming increasingly sophisticated
with the adoption of advanced automation,
providing challenging opportunities for
more electronics-oriented careers.
The software industry, which is rapidly ex-
panding in Sri Lanka, has in recent times
also provided employment to a signicant
number of the Departments graduates.
Continuing developments in the eld of
electronic and telecommunication engi-
neering worldwide, specially in biomedical
engineering, robotics and computer vision,
make it one of the most fast-changing and
challenging specializations of engineering.

is the specialization that has the
largest selectivity, and hence the
largest number of career opportunities,
out of all the specializations. An electronic
and telecommunication engineer can nd
a wide spectrum of career opportunities
in the industry with a variety of selections.
These include opportunities in the elds
of electronics, telecommunication, indus-
trial automation, IT and in rapidly growing

areas such as biomedical engineering and
robotics.
Electronic industry is a developing eld in
Sri Lanka and therefore our engineers can
make marked contributions. Availability of
carrier opportunities in the telecommunica-
tion eld, especially in mobile communica-
tion area, is vastly increasing. In the mean
time, the availability of opportunities for
our students in the automation and IT eld
is also increasing day by day.
Getting a strong education from
a good University is the rst step
in building a career. Yet this alone
does not ensure success. While
one can be taught about innova-
tion, innovating in the vacuum
or closed environment will not
take you anywhere. We look at
individuals who are innovative
and are able to express their new
ideas and see through fruition.
It is extremely important to get
the practical exposure to under-
stand customer environments
in various domains thereby gain
more insight and uplift the indus-
try through innovation.

Telecommunica-
tions, dened
traditionally as the
transmission of sig-
nals over a distance
for a purpose of
communication, is a
cornerstone in the
evolution of human
society. Today, it is
inextricably woven
into the fabric of
our lives, making the entire world a global
village.
Telecommunications has a long and
creative history behind it, built on a strong
mathematical foundation. The concepts
put forward by visionaries such as Claude
Shannon and Sir Arthur C. Clarke have
guided engineers and researchers to
expand the frontiers of telecommunica-
tions through advances in semiconductors,
digital electronics and signal processing.
The biggest consequence has been con-
vergence, the representation of all types of
media voice, text, images, video - in the
same basic form, as a stream of bits, and
therefore handle them uniformly within
a common network infrastructure imple-
mented on a mix of wired and wireless
transport technologies.
Convergence has enabled the telecom-
munications industry to keep up with in-
creased competition by rapidly introducing
innovative revenue generating services,
while moving to lower cost infrastructures.

Intelligent Machines Laboratory
Throughout the past, man has always
been curious about building intelligent
machines. Dreams of intelligent machines
rst emerged in science ctions and
guided researchers and engineers to actu-
ally design and build similar machines. A
variety of sensors, coded intelligence and
fast data processing capability is needed
to build an intelligent machine. The current
state of technology in these areas can only
help to build proto-intelligent machines,
and the reality of intelligent machines
mostly hinges on advancements in arti-
cial intelligence and machine vision. With
a sufcient level of capability, a well
designed intelligent machine could actu-
ally help humans in performing various
activities and could even be a trustwor-
thy companion. The intelligent machine

Outline Syllabus
1.
Investigation Stage: The student should be capable of independently referring to
books, papers, academic literature and electronic resources to justify their choice of
project. Conduct a literature survey in order to academically support any claims, tech-
nologies and methods used in your project. This phase should also be used to determine
if there are other methods that have been used to address the same or similar imple-
mentation aspects of your project. As a consequence of this activity, the student should
now have a number of sources of information upon which to base the work that is to
follow. Identifying or estimating the hardware and software components required for the
successful implementation of the proposed project is also carried out within the scope of
this phase.
2.
Implementation Stage: Once the preliminary investigation is carried out and a project
of appropriate complexity is chosen, the next stage is to design and implement the pro-
totype. Identifying the proper approach of implementation is also key to completing the
project successfully. Use design software, simulations to support your design strategies.
The implementation phase includes construction and testing of the prototype. A major
portion of the time should be spent with this phase. At the implementation stage, the
student is allowed to alter or modify the methodologies proposed in the previous phase
depending on any new information available at this stage.
3.
Presentation Phase: Placing the work in context and presenting it effectively is also
an important part of the project. Effective presentation of the project material and a well
structured report is expected for the satisfactory completion of the nal year project. The
documentation and knowledge preservation includes a presentation, report, DVD with
structured information as well as a viva.

to strength over the years. Its vision is
serving humanity through electronics.
Objectives of the E-Club
Acting as a platform, where interac-
tion between undergraduates and
the industry is highly enabled, while
exposing innovative and creative
thinking capacity of undergraduates to
the industry.
Identifying current trends, techno-
logical development in the electronic
and telecommunication industry and
facilitating undergraduates to acquire
necessary skills, and shaping their
attitudes to become successful profes-
sional engineers.
Contributing to the enhancement of
the living standards of the unprivileged
segments in the society.
Activities of E-Club
A variety of activities are carried out by the
E-Club, with the above objectives in mind
while providing a platform for the under-
graduates to develop their careers.
Expose : Annual Technical Festival
E-Club organizes an annual technical fes-
tival EXPOSE. Expose is an event where
undergraduates showcase their knowl-
edge, skills and projects to the industry
and the public. The scope gets widened
every year with competitions and work-
shops.
Undergraduate-Industry Interaction
Activities
Specialists in the elds of technology and
management are invited to share their
knowledge and experience with the un-
dergraduates and to provide their advice.
Through these sessions the undergradu-
ates are motivated to be aware of the
industry expectations, so that the under-
graduates can get prepared to t in to the
world of work.
Community Service Projects

Mentoring Program
The Mentoring Program of the Depart-
ment of Electronic and Telecommunication
Engineering is an important part of the
level 2. The mentoring program assists
the second year undergraduates, who are
expected to undergo industrial training in a
few months, to prepare themselves for the
requirements of the corporate world. Our
past experience shows that the mentoring
program has enabled students to realize
their full potential as trainees during in-
dustrial training and as professionals after
graduation.
In the current program, the ratio of men-
tors to students was reduced to 3.2 and
therefore there are 31 high prole profes-
sionals mentoring the 100 students in the
level 2. The variety of the in-house training
sessions was also increased this year by
including interesting topics such as speed
reading (by Mr. Sanjiv Jayaratnam) and
meditation (by Dr. Ravindra Koggalage)
among the usual themes such as leader-
ship (by Mr. Dian Gomes) and project
management (by Dr. Madhu Fernando).
The mentoring program entails an evalu-
ation scheme which acts as a catalyst to
encourage students to take part in the pro-
gramme more enthusiastically and receive
more benets. The students engagement
with the program is gauged based on
Special Events
three assessments, namely feedback from
the mentor, feedback from the internal staff
member assigned to groups of mentees
and marks obtained for the group assign-
ment. The students who have performed
well are expected to receive a certicate of
merit.
Are you ready?
Organized by the Career Guidance Unit
and the Rotaract Club of University of
Moratuwa, Are You Ready? is the most
sought after professional development
program in the university calendar year.
2009 marks the 15th consecutive Are
You Ready? program, where its prede-
cessors have all emerged as tremendous
successes, which was acknowledged by
being awarded the Rotaract District Award
for Best Professional Development Project
for ten successive years.
Pre dominantly, Are You Ready? paves
the way for employer companies to distin-
guish students of outstanding merit from
the university, while contributing to en-
hance the employability and professional
development of the undergraduates. Apart
from interview sessions, various sessions
are organized focusing various groups of
students to cater to their distinct needs.
