Many people in the developed, developing and under developed countries have been given emphasis for the broader application of Computer . Computer Engineering has been contributing the world for the overall development and creating job or employment opportunities in both public and private sectors.

3 This curriculum is designed to foster knowledge and skills to the technician required by the Computer Engineering and information technology related industries and organizations in Nepal. The DIPLOMA in Computer Engineering program extends over three years. Each year is divided into two semesters. There are six semesters in total within the period of three years. The first year courses includes the basic science subjects like physics, chemistry, and mathematics applicable in the field of Computer Engineering . It also includes language subjects like Nepali and English applicable for the communication in the field of Computer Engineering and information technology. The second year courses focuses on the basic disciplinary subjects of Computer Engineering . Similarly, third year courses comprises of the disciplinary subjects and the application of learned skills and knowledge by making the provision of major and minor projects as well as elective subjects in the specific areas of Computer Engineering .

4 The course structure and the subject-wise contents that follow reflect the details of this curriculum. In short, this curriculum guides its implementers to produce competent and highly employable middle level technical human resources in the field of Computer Engineering . The contents of each subjects prescribed in the curriculum are incorporated in the light of "must to know and must to do" principle. The contents of the curriculum are minutely describes in micro level. Curriculum Title: DIPLOMA in Computer Engineering Aim The program aims to produce middle level technical personnel in the field of Computer with sound academic knowledge equipped with perfect technical skills that can be faced in real life situation. Objectives After the completion of this program, the graduates will be enabled to: - Prepare competent Computer workforce/human resources that could provide services in public and private organizations as required - Handle Web Technology & Programming, Management Information System, System Analysis and Design, Visual Programming, Multimedia Technology, Internet Technology, Data Mining, Computer Graphics etc.

5 - Management of Database - Repair and Maintenance of Computer - Applied Telecommunication skills - Prepare such technical workforce who will demonstrate positive attitude and respect to the profession and socio-cultural values. - Reduce the dependence on foreign technicians. - Create self employment/enterprise. Group Size The group size will be maximum of 48 (forty eight) students in a batch. Entry Criteria SLC Pass or SEE with minimum C grade in Compulsory Mathematics & Science and D+ in English. TSLC in Computer Engineering with minimum Should pass entrance examination as administered by CTEVT . Duration The total duration of this curricular program is three academic years (six semester). The program is based on semester system. Moreover, one semester year consists of academic weeks including evaluation period. Actual teaching learning hours will be not less than 15 weeks in each semester. Medium of Instruction The medium of instruction will be in English and/or Nepali.

6 Pattern of Attendance Minimum of 90% attendance in each subject is required to appear in the respective final examination. Teachers and Students Ratio The ratio between teachers and students must be: Overall ratio of teacher and student must be 1:12 (at the institution level) 1:48 for theory and tutorial classes 1:12 for practical/demonstration 1:6 for bench work 75 % of the technical teachers must be full timer Qualification of Teachers and Instructors The program coordinator should be a master's degree holder in the related area. The disciplinary subject related teacher and demonstrators should be a bachelor s degree holder in the related area. The foundational subject related teacher should be master degree holder in the related area. Instructional Media and Materials The following instructional media and materials are suggested for the effective instruction and demonstration. Printed Media Materials (Assignment sheets, Hand-outs, Information sheets, Individual training packets, Procedure sheets, Performance check lists, Textbooks etc.)

7 Non-projected Media Materials (Display, Flip chart, Poster, Writing board etc.). Projected Media Materials (Opaque projections, multimedia, Slides etc.). Computer -Based Instructional Materials ( Computer -based training, Interactive video etc.) Teaching Learning Methodologies The methods of teachings for this curricular program will be a combination of several approaches such as; lecture, illustrated talk, tutorial, group discussion, demonstration, simulation, guided practice, self-practice, fieldwork, block study, industrial practice, report writing, term paper presentation, heuristic and other independent learning exercises. Theory: Lecture, discussion, assignment, interaction, seminar, group work. Practical: Demonstration, observation, simulation, guided practice, self-practice, industrial practice and project work. Mode of Education There will be inductive and deductive mode of education.

8 Examination and Marking Scheme a. Internal assessment There will be a transparent/fair evaluation system for each subject both in theory and practical exposure. Each subject will have internal assessment at regular intervals and students will get the feedback about it. Weightage of theory and practical marks are mentioned in course structure. Continuous assessment format will be developed and applied by the evaluators for evaluating student's performance in the subjects related to the practical experience. b. Final examination Weightage of theory and practical marks are mentioned in course structure. Students must pass in all subjects both in theory and practical for certification. If a student becomes unable to succeed in any subject, s/he will appear in the re-examination administered by CTEVT . Students will be allowed to appear in the final examination only after completing the internal assessment requirements.

9 C. Requirement for final practical examination Professional of relevant subject instructor must evaluate final practical examinations. One evaluator in one setting can evaluate not more than 24 students. Practical examination should be administered in actual situation on relevant subject with the provision of at least one internal evaluator from the concerned or affiliating institute led by external evaluator nominated by CTEVT . Provision of re-examination will be as per CTEVT policy. d. Final practicum evaluation will be based on: Institutional practicum attendance - 10% Logbook/Practicum book maintenance - 10% Spot performance (assigned task/practicum performance/identification/arrangement preparation/measurement) - 40% Viva voce : Internal examiner - 20% External examiner - 20% e. Pass marks: The students must secure minimum 40% marks in both theory and practical. Moreover, the students must secure minimum pass marks in the internal assessment and in the semester final examination of each subject to pass the subject.

10 Provision of Back Paper There will be the provision of back paper but a student must pass all the subjects of all semester within six years from the enrollment date; however there should be provision of chance exam for final semester students as per CTEVT rules.
