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 aims at school leavers with GCE (A/L) qualifications in Mathematics, Science,
Accountancy and 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.
Course Objectives:
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 consisted of five semesters namely Semester I, Semester II, Semester III,
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
11 | P a g e
required to complete a full‐time industrial placement. The duration of each semester was 15
weeks.
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 Education.

Program Development Background
The restructuring of the Curriculum of the HND in IT (HNDIT) program 2011 to 2013 has
been done in order to implement the Outcome Based Education (OBE) with the Student
Centered Learning (SCL) in order to improve the quality of the HNDIT diploma holders.
In order to do this the following guidelines have been used.
12 | P a g e
Guidelines used for the Content Development:
1. Restructure and further develop the five recommendations which were identified in the
research study (Please refer the Appendix 1 - HNDIT Curriculum Revision Proposal
with Analysis Report on HNDIT Diploma Holders Employment Survey- 2011) under
the sub titles - Recommendations, Actions and Outcomes.
2. New code system for all the subjects has implemented according to the following format.
HNDIT Y S CU
HNDIT – 5 Digits for the Course Title
Y – 1 Digit for the Year (1, 2)
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 have been organized as Fundamentals, Intermediate and
Advanced. Further to that, special care has been taken to improve not only knowledge and
skills but also the attitudes of the students.
4. Reorganized the 1stSemester subjects in order to reduce the work load. This has done by
removing subjects such as Office Productivity Applications (IT A001) and merging
subject contents with 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 subject, 3 Text Books were used relevant to the subjects
which were published in year 2013.
13 | P a g e
11. Referred National and International curriculums and organized the new curriculum
structure accordingly.
12. Obtained supervision and guidance from the Heads 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 Supporting subjects
as
a. Final Paper Mark / Assignment as 50/ 50 and
b. Minimum Final Paper Mark should be according to the 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 (English, Mathematics, Statistics,
Management and Economics) should be
a. One Assignment
i. Group assignment with a presentation (Common and individual marks) or
ii. Individual assignment
Program Aims
 Provide Information Technology personnel to cater to the demands in the current

Information Technology field.
 Provide a conceptual basis for more advanced studies in Information Technology
field.
14 | P a g e

as awards at lateral exit points.
General Assessment Policy

Common examination by-laws approved by the Governing Council.
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.
16 | P a g e
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 syllabi.
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.
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 specialization. Most of these subjects are related to emerging technologies where searching
qualified resource personnel 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 existing 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) for
supporting the delivery and administration of the new curriculum. The e‐learning platform
has been used to facilitate sharing of resources, centralized implementation of course delivery
and assessment tools, centralized administration and learner management 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 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
189 | 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
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
190 | P a g e
• 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
• 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
191 | P a g e
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.
• 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
192 | P a g e
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.

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
• 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
245 | 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
246 | P a g e
• 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
• 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.
247 | P a g e
• 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

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.

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

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.
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).
324 | P a g e
Existing Curriculum
The following curriculum should be modified in order to implement student centered

competency based education system.
