Introduction and Background
The Higher National Diploma in Information Technology (HND‐IT) program at the Sri Lanka
Institute of Advance Technical Education (SLIATE) was developed and commenced in the year
2000 with the objective of producing the middle level IT professionals required for the new
millennium. The initial curriculum designed for the course was revised two times, first in year
2005 followed by the second in year 2007. However, both the revisions were of minor nature
and did not affect the status core of the program. A major revision was done with the University
of Moratuwa through the IRQUE project in year 2011.
The course is aimed at school leavers with GCE (A/L) qualifications in Mathematics, Science,
Accountancyand Arts streams. Candidates are selected through the order of merit in their
GCE (A/L) examination and through an aptitude / IQ test. According to the existing curriculum
documentation, the aims and objectives of the initial course are stated as follows.
Course Aims:
 Provide Information Technology personal to cater to the demands in the next
millennium.
 Provide a conceptual basis for more advanced studies in Information Technology field.
CourseObjectives:
At the end of the diploma the student should be able to;
 Function as a software developer.

 Train personals in IT skills.
 Use IT skills in the area of automation.
 Make use of IT skills in decision making in an organization.
The course duration was of five semesters namely Semester I, Semester II, Semester IV and
Semester V covered over a period of two and half calendar years. Academic activities were
held during the first four semesters and during the fifth semester students were required to
complete a full‐time industrial placement. The duration of each semester was 15weeks.

From 2007 the program was planned to be offered through nine different institutes throughout
the country under SLIATE. The program had a significant demand during the initial years but
has started to face increased competition since there cent past from other parallel programs
offered by the state and private sector institutions as well as from the external IT related degree
programs offered by state universities.
In a response to this situation in 2011 SLIATE has decided to go ahead with a major revamp
of the program inclusive of a major curriculum revision through funding available under the
World Bank supported “Improving Relevance and Quality of Undergraduate Education
(IRQUE)” project. In a parallel effort to this a second initiate was also taken to start another
Higher Diploma program specializing in the area of Software Engineering through funding
available from the Asian Development Bank supported “Education for the Knowledge Society
(EKSP)” project. These two initiatives, even though supported by two different projects had
the same common objectives of improving the relevance, quality and demand of the Higher
National Diploma in Information Technology program offered by the Sri Lanka Institute of
Advanced Technological Studies.

S- 1 Digit for the Semester (1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
CU- 2 Digits for the Course Units
3. All the subjects in the curriculum has been organized as Fundamentals, Intermediate and
Advanced. Further to that special care has been taken to improve not only Knowledge and Skills
but Attitudes also of the students from each and every subject.
4. Reorganized the 1stSemester subjects in order to reduce the work load. This has done by
removing subjects such as IT A001 Office Productivity Applications and merging subject
contents from subjects Personal Computer Hardware and System Operations (IT 1001),
Mathematics for Computing (IT 1002) and Data Representation and Organization (IT 1004).
5. Reorganized the 2nd Semester subjects by moving Probability and Statistics (IT3001) in order
to make Mathematics related subjects to continue from the Semester 1 up to Semester 3.
6. Language related subjects have been introduced from the Semester 1 up to Semester 4.
7. Identified and implemented the 3rdSemester of the new curriculum with subjects in such a way
that Core modules subjects and supporting module subjects in a ratio such as 6 or 7 Core
Subjects to 3 Supporting subjects.
8. Identified and implemented the 4thSemester of the new curriculum with subjects in such a way
that Core modules subjects and supporting module subjects in a ratio such as 4 Core Subjects
to 2 Supporting subjects.
9. Language and Mathematics have been considered as Supporting Subjects.
10. To develop contents in each subjects used 3 Text Books relevant to the subjects which were
published in year 2013.
11. Referred National and International curriculums and organize the new curriculum structure
accordingly.

12. Obtained supervision and guidance from the Head of the IT department and a Senior Professor
in IT from a University to develop the new curriculum.
13. Student academic progression and lateral entry /exit points- 3 Exit Points.
a. First after completing 1st year- Advanced Certificate
b. Second after completing 1 ½ years (3 Semesters) – Diploma
c. Third and Final after completing 2 ½ years – Higher National Diploma
Guidelines for Evaluations (Full time/Part time):

14. For the completion of In-plant training credits should be allocated as 6 with GPA.
15. Common evaluation criteria should be implemented for all Core and Support subjects as
a. Final Paper Mark / Assignment as 50/ 50 and
b. Minimum Final Paper Mark should be according to examination by-laws.
16. Assignment Structure for Core Subjects should be

a. Two Assignments
i. Group assignment with a presentation (Common and individual marks) and
ii. Individual assignment
17. Assignment Structure for Supportive Subjects should be(English, Mathematics, Statistics,
Management and Economics)
a. One Assignment
i. Group assignment with a presentation (Common and individual marks) or
ii. Individual assignment
Program Aims

Teaching and Learning Environment
Resource Requirements
Teaching, referencing, laboratory and other required resources to teach the modules in the curriculum
have been identified for each module in the detailed syllabus. In general these resources will include the
following.
a. Computer laboratory facilities with Internet access for software, design and other related
modules.
b. Test platform laboratory for conducting practical work related to installation and
configuration of systems and communication services.
c. Access to e‐learning and Computer Based Training (CBT) facilities as described in relevant
syllabuses.
d. Reference text books listed in the detailed syllabus for each module
Use of e‐Learning Platforms
The new curriculum introduces several significant changes to the way that Higher National Diploma
program is delivered and administered. These changes range from introduction of new specialization
options to modernization of the curriculum content with some of the modern and emerging subject areas.
It is imperative that significant efforts are needed to upgrade the course delivery and administration
mechanisms to obtain the true benefits of these changes in terms of improving the quality and relevance
of the program and in achieving the expected outcomes.
10 | P a g e
It is important to note that the curriculum introduces new subjects from diverse areas of information
technology and hence would require resources and expertise from the same areas of specializations.
Most of these subjects are related to emerging technologies where finding qualified resource personal
would be difficult and time consuming. However on the other hand, the quality of the program would
depend on the availability of such resources not only in one ATI but across the entire network where the
program is offered. Therefore the training of e xisting staff has already been started for these subjects
with the guidance and support from the leading technological providers of the country.
SLIATE has already moved into an e‐ Learning based platform (SLIATE LMS) to support the delivery
and administration of the new curriculum. Thee‐learning platform has been used to facilitate sharing
of resources, centralized implementation of course delivery and assessment tools, centralized
administration and learner management and to facilitate the use and assessment in using modern
computer based learning material.

It is essential that students put into practice what they learn. Business analysis is a very hands-
on field and is still evolving as business analysts learn from interactions with stakeholders.
It is essential for the business analyst to have a firm grasp of the theory but even more
important to be able to be flexible with that knowledge and adapt it to the task at hand. Hence
more time will be spent in weekly tutorials and doing assignments than in lectures. It will be
necessary for lecturers to construct appropriate case studies that will lead to learning.

Students should be assigned reading from relevant book chapters and or websites; some of this
work may be required to complete their assignments. Assignments should not be designed to
allow direct copying from text, notes or other sources; rather they can be open-ended
hypothetical cases where students can argue from different views and justify their conclusions.
The group assignment can be a more involved one in which substantially more effort is
required than other assignments; other than covering the subject matter, team work and
82 | P a g e
communication skills will also needed to complete this assignment. As additional material,
multimedia resources (news, documentary/movie clips) that are freely available as well as
relevant creative work (fiction, films etc) can be recommended to students. The idea is to make
the subject matter interesting to them and show relevant examples.
Students must have access to the Internet. Relevant Sri Lankan Acts of Parliament should be
made available to students (soft copies are acceptable), not expecting them to read fully but
with key points emphasized. Some web resources are listed below.

HNDIT2304: Project (Group)

Formats of the key milestones of the Project
Project Proposals
This is the initial document of a project. The purpose of the proposal is to identify a client with whom we
can build up a proposal.
This is the preliminary step of the feasibility study. Student should start with introducing the problem
through the proposal. This project proposal should contain:
Brief introduction about the client
• Business process
184 | P a g e
• Existing system
• Problems and weaknesses
• Aims and objectives of the project
• Scope of the project
• Project feasibility
• Project plan/schedule
• Client’s contact details
The document should include a brief chapter for each of the above headings. Number of pages should not
exceed 12 pages excluding the cover page of the document.
Project Report – Interim/ Progress/ Final
The reports in general should have the following content.
 Introduction
 Problem definition and System Analysis
 System Design
 Development, Testing and Implementation
 Evaluation and Conclusions
185 | P a g e
Problem Definition and System Analysis
In this phase, there should be a description of the problem that is to be solved, the requirements of the users
and how they were obtained. There should be a clear statement of the need.
 Define the problem and indicate end users

 Investigate the problem: using questionnaires, observations, past data reviews,
 Interviews, and working with available systems. This section should specify what the final system
should do. Do not discuss implementation issues here.
 Record the findings
 Analyze the findings
 Identify problems/inefficiencies and strengths of current system
 Specify requirements: hardware, software and live ware
 Identify the current user activities and current data structures
 Identify scope with clear boundaries
 Analyze the data and tasks carried out by the user: using a suitable software process model
 Develop and document a clear, testable, verifiable Requirement Specification (use IEEE standards)
 Acceptance test criteria should be discussed here
 Intended benefits and alternatives e.g Business Systems Options (BSO)
System Design
This phase includes detailed system design including data structures, input-output formats and user
interfaces. In this section students should discuss how he/she is going to implement the computer based
solution. There should be clear design specifications:
 User interface design: design and document user interfaces for data capturing and data visualization
 Data structures/ system data model
 Specify any verification and validation required and interactive feedback required if there are any
errors in the input
 Design and document using appropriate techniques where possible:
Normalization, E-R (Entity Relationship) / EER (Enhanced Entity Relationship) models, data
structures necessary to solve inefficiencies indicated in the requirement specification
186 | P a g e
 Task model: Design and document user task models in the form of task hierarchies, state transition
diagrams or any other form of top down diagrams
Development, Testing, and Implementation
This phase will comprise of a software solution and comprehensive test plan that is developed from the
design, which should show that the system works with all valid, invalid and extreme data. The test plan
should be clearly cross-referenced to show that the system has been tested during development and
implementation. It is equally important to test the user interface (navigation and displays etc.) as well as
system functionality and accuracy of data.
 Software development: The solution may be implemented using one or more programming
languages, application software packages, authoring and publishing tools. Brief description of any
software used, together with reasons for their selection should be included in the report.
 Develop and document data structures of the design
 Produce detailed output from testing, cross referencing as appropriate to the test plan and select
suitable test data and test actions/responses for the design
 Test the software solution with the user, providing documented evidence that the solution works
and devise a strategy for its implementation
Structure of the Report
 Students are expected to introduce each chapter with its own mini-introduction. This will
summarize how the chapter fits in to the whole report and, it should summarize what the previous
chapter asserts and indicate how this chapter follows on.
 At the end of each chapter, students will summarize the contents of the chapter clearly. Again,
students are expected to indicate how the chapter that follows will relate to the current one in the
appropriate places.
 It is not enough in a project to do something and then report how it was done. In most cases students
will be expected to justify why it was done.. Depending on the nature of the project, this evaluation
may warrant a chapter on its own.
187 | P a g e
 The project report must have a conclusion chapter. In this final chapter, students are expected to
draw together the themes and arguments presented in the body of the text. The initial paragraph
should cover what the project was an outline its main objectives.
 In addition they are expected to emphasize the positive aspects of the work and show how one has
dealt with the problems that arose during the course of the project. Where problems have proved
insurmountable, the student should describe potential solutions to the problems and show how one

HNDIT2404: Project (Individual)

Formats of the key milestones of the Project
Project Proposals
This is the initial document of a project. The purpose of the proposal is to identify a client with whom we
can build up a proposal.
This is the preliminary step of the feasibility study. Student should start with introducing the problem
through the proposal. This project proposal should contain:
Brief introduction about the client
• Business process
• Existing system
• Problems and weaknesses
• Aims and objectives of the project
• Scope of the project
• Project feasibility
• Project plan/schedule
• Client’s contact details
231 | P a g e
The document should include a brief chapter for each of the above headings. Number of pages should not
exceed 12 pages excluding the cover page of the document.
Project Report – Interim/ Progress/ Final
The reports in general should have the following content.
 Introduction
 Problem definition and System Analysis
 System Design
 Development, Testing and Implementation
 Evaluation and Conclusions
Problem Definition and System Analysis
In this phase, there should be a description of the problem that is to be solved, the requirements of the
users and how they were obtained. There should be a clear statement of the need.
 Define the problem and indicate end users

 Investigate the problem: using questionnaires, observations, past data reviews,
 Interviews, and working with available systems. This section should specify what the final system
should do. Do not discuss implementation issues here.
 Record the findings
 Analyze the findings
 Identify problems/inefficiencies and strengths of current system
 Specify requirements: hardware, software and live ware
 Identify the current user activities and current data structures
 Identify scope with clear boundaries
 Analyze the data and tasks carried out by the user: using a suitable software process model
 Develop and document a clear, testable, verifiable Requirement Specification (use IEEE standards)
 Acceptance test criteria should be discussed here
 Intended benefits and alternatives e.g Business Systems Options (BSO)
System Design
232 | P a g e
This phase includes detailed system design including data structures, input-output formats and user
interfaces. In this section students should discuss how he/she is going to implement the computer based
solution. There should be clear design specifications:
 User interface design: design and document user interfaces for data capturing and data
visualization
 Data structures/ system data model
 Specify any verification and validation required and interactive feedback required if there are any
errors in the input
 Design and document using appropriate techniques where possible:
Normalization, E-R (Entity Relationship) / EER (Enhanced Entity Relationship) models, data
structures necessary to solve inefficiencies indicated in the requirement specification
 Task model: Design and document user task models in the form of task hierarchies, state
transition diagrams or any other form of top down diagrams
Development, Testing, and Implementation
This phase will comprise of a software solution and comprehensive test plan that is developed from the
design, which should show that the system works with all valid, invalid and extreme data. The test plan
should be clearly cross-referenced to show that the system has been tested during development and
implementation. It is equally important to test the user interface (navigation and displays etc.) as well as
system functionality and accuracy of data.
 Software development: The solution may be implemented using one or more programming
languages, application software packages, authoring and publishing tools. Brief description of any
software used, together with reasons for their selection should be included in the report.
 Develop and document data structures of the design
 Produce detailed output from testing, cross referencing as appropriate to the test plan and select
suitable test data and test actions/responses for the design
 Test the software solution with the user, providing documented evidence that the solution works
and devise a strategy for its implementation
Structure of the Report
233 | P a g e
 Students are expected to introduce each chapter with its own mini-introduction. This will
summarize how the chapter fits in to the whole report and, it should summarize what the previous
chapter asserts and indicate how this chapter follows on.
 At the end of each chapter, students will summarize the contents of the chapter clearly. Again,
students are expected to indicate how the chapter that follows will relate to the current one in
the appropriate places.
 It is not enough in a project to do something and then report how it was done. In most cases
students will be expected to justify why it was done.. Depending on the nature of the project, this
evaluation may warrant a chapter on its own.
 The project report must have a conclusion chapter. In this final chapter, students are expected to
draw together the themes and arguments presented in the body of the text. The initial paragraph
should cover what the project was an outline its main objectives.
 In addition they are expected to emphasize the positive aspects of the work and show how one
has dealt with the problems that arose during the course of the project. Where problems have
proved insurmountable, the student should describe potential solutions to the problems and
show how one worked around them.
 Students should comment on how they generally handled the project and if they are to redo the
project, then how they would have approached it differently. They should comment on how the
other academic modules taken for the degree have contributed to the project and how the project
experience will help in one’s future career development.

HNDIT Curriculum Revision Proposal with Analysis Report on

HNDIT Diploma Holders Employment Survey- 2011
Introduction
This report and the proposal have been prepared based on the data collected from the survey done
at year 2011 convocation. Target group was HNDIT diploma holders who have just received their
Higher National Diploma Certificates at the convocation. The volume of data was 81 and the
selected students have completed 2 ½ years academic program including the 6 months industrial
training. These students completed their respective courses at 6 Advanced Technological Institutes
namely Ampara Hardy ATI, Badulla ATI, Jaffna ATI, Kandy ATI, Kurunegala ATI and Labuduwa
ATI.

Reference to the Chart1- a and Chart1-b it can be clearly identified that HNDIT diploma holders
were highly demanded for the Middle level IT jobs than Front line, Academic and Other jobs.
Further there is a clear variation between Front line, Academic and Other jobs at each ATI
locations. For example Kandy ATI and Jaffna ATI passed out students obtained Front line jobs as
well. Kurunegala ATI and Jafnna ATI students obtained Academic jobs also (Please refer Chart1-

Reference to the Chart2- a and Chart2-b it can be clearly identified that HNDIT diploma holders
were highly demanded for the Private Sector IT jobs than Government and Semi Government. It
is important to observe that few Diploma Holders were competent enough to become
Entrepreneurs.
Further there is a clear variation between Government, Semi Government, Private Sector and
Entrepreneurs at each ATI locations. For example Kandy ATI and Kurunegala ATI passed out
students were managed to become Entrepreneurs. All ATI students except Ampara ATI obtained
Government jobs (Please refer Char2-a).

As the above data set has been collected just after the convocation of year 2011 most of the diploma
holders were just completing their industrial training which indicates the reason of higher
unemployment rate among diploma holders (Please see Chart 3 above).
Therefore based on the above analysis the following recommendations are forwarding for
the new changes in the HNDIT Curriculum.
295 | P a g e
1. Students should be exposed into more skill development environment through competency
based education system.
2. Present industry demanding subjects should be included in the curriculum.
3. Subjects should be organized into the semesters in order to maintain student interest to the
field.
4. Academic specialization area should be included to cater academic field requirements.
5. To improve the quality of the intake for the HNDIT program device a mechanism with
Ministry of Higher Education (University Grant Commission).
Existing Curriculum
The following curriculum should be modified in order to implement student centered
competency based education system.
