Automotive Department in Brief

The department offers Ordinary Diploma in Automotive Engineering and Auto Electric and Electronics Engineering under the National Technical Award (NTA) framework covering levels 4-6. These awards are competence based and designed to testify that the holders possess the requisite skills and knowledge necessary to flexibly apply competences in the automotive service, maintenance, repairs and other relevant occupational sectors.It is anticipated that the department shall bring in a new program – Heavy Duty Equipment Technology (HDET) engineering in the academic year 2015/16 and thereafter contribute in preparing highly qualified and skilled technical human resource at the category of technicians to serve the growing mining and construction sectors in the country and region at large.The Automotive department has established Automotive Advisory Committee which shall put together potential stakeholders from the Automotive industry working with the ATC and provide them a platform to advise the department on how to fill prevailing gaps between what is delivered by the programs and the emerging technologies in the industry and which are relevant to the markets where the graduates we are preparing are going to work.The Automotive department supported by the College Management and external partners is in the process of establishing e-learning for automotive technology modules on the condition that the students will be ready to pay some agreed fees and during pilot period shall remain optional to students. This is an opportunity for us to teach and learn the latest developments in automotive technology by using interactive animations and simulations to enable students learn faster, retain more and come up and meet latest technologies.Academic year 2014_2015 is the second year of implementation of the ATC reviewed curricula in the department; this means that levels 4 and 5 shall be in this implementation of the curricula.The department is wishing all the best to our students and let them remember that today’s life in auto industry maintenance and repairs is full of things and to stay ahead we need to achieve on many fronts by practicing multi-tasking using the departmental motto that “Deeds and Not Words” in all of the activities they are going to undertake.
