Design - Unit - Module Doc.2

1.
Undergraduate Bachelor program (Industrial Design Unit)

Presently the department has regular four years Design under graduate program,
two years advanced standing undergraduate program.
The unit in its programs awards a Degree of Bachelor of Fine Arts in Industrial
Design.
2. Background of Industrial Design Unit
The design education is intended including industrial design and visual communication which
used to be given as supplementary courses starting from 1957/58 while Addis Ababa school
of Fine Arts and Design founded. The assimilation of industrial design department to the fine
art school of Addis Ababa goes to the first years of the foundation of the school in 1993
academic year. Despite some interrupted years, the basic and general outline of the design
course had been implemented and exercised by all department students of the school from
year II-IV and lately from year I-III.
Having the vision that the department would expand and include industrial design, fashion
design, visual communication and other design departments; it is believed to make it have a
wider department title.
This fact shows that the program is designed from the outset to achieve an intertwined
relationship with the other departments of the school. Since the integration of the Fine Arts
School in the Addis Ababa University, the department upgrades its status to the degree
program and an increment of a new department resulted.
The attribute of design for promoting and producing product designs in the country in
industrial, printing and other sectors has been well comprehended and its essentiality was
recognized by all the staff of the school and the Addis Ababa University representatives,
Based on the recorded teaching experience of the school, it organized one more department,
Industrial Design. Since then a number of new programs have been included. The advanced
standing program enrollment was conducted since 1998 academic year of Ethiopian calendar.

3. Rational of the program
-The fact that the urgent need of designers in governmental and private industries,
factories, printing presses, advertising agencies, etc.
-The need of professional designers those who engaged themselves in day to day
creative process, to create a standardized mode of design in the country.
-The need of professional industrial and commercial designers in cultural sectors

theaters and vocational colleges of future art schools.
-The resolution of the special committee appointed by the Prime Minister? Office
after a long session concerning the need of fine arts in Ethiopia (0.80-+0-7/01/11) has
made the affiliation of the school to the AAU.
The review process is determined to enhance the development of the students’ capability to
the profession of design.The department of design look forward to modularize its curriculum
based on the need of making change in the higher educations instruction and an outcome
based learning paradigm shift. Recognizing the urgent need in the shift of the traditional
method of instruction and modularizing of the curriculum to enable and maximize students
learning and performance are the rational behind modularizing the curriculum
4. Program objectives

The ad-hoc committee proposed the following supportive English language courses to be
offered in 10 EtCTS to other faculties/colleges/schools.
Module Title: General English
Module Code: EnLa 2021
EtCTS: 10
Syllabus: This module consists of selected contents of the former English courses
entitled Communicative English I and Communicative English II as one
component and Writing for Academic Purposes as a second component. As can
be seen, three courses have been clustered into one with just 10 EtCTS,
considering the possible shortage of space for major courses of other
colleges/faculties/schools. But we strongly recommend that all
colleges/faculties/schools across the University take the new module suggested
here. Earlier, we noted that certain colleges/faculties took certain English courses
but not others. This meant there was no uniformity with regard to what English
courses university students took.
The details of the contents will be determined once this proposal has been
accepted across the nation or University. Earlier, instructors came with syllabi for
each course, suggesting separate EtCTS numbers. However, this had to change
when the four universities came together and agreed on a common list of clustered
courses, which we have sent to you through our Associate Dean for
Undergraduate Programs.
1. English for Specific Purposes (ESP) Courses

The ad-hoc committee from the four Universities also suggested that the English Language
Departments in the respective Universities may design ESP course modules upon request
which may be received from facilities/colleges/schools within the universities. For example, a
business college could ask for English for Business or a medical college could ask for
English for Medicine, etc. In such cases, the English Department can design specific courses
that could cater for the specific demands.
144
Module Title: Introduction to Logic
Module Code: Phil2011
Module Credit: 3 hrs
EtCTS: 5
Module Facilitators*: Abdul Shakil (Dr.), Abiy Tsegaye (Dr.), Belete Molla (Ato), Ekram Mohammed (W/t),
Getahun Dana (Ato), Girma Taye (Ato), Hannibal Bekele (Ato), Haregewoin Assefa (W/t), Markos Gizaw
(Ato), Pelle Darota (Dr.), Shikur Seid (Ato) and Tenna Dewo (Dr.) Two other senior faculty members can also
be assigned to handle the course.
Duration: One semester, four months, sixteen weeks.
Number of students taking the module: Maximum 50 students per Section.
Module Description:- The objective of this course is to acquaint students with the methods, skills and theories
of constructing and evaluating argument. It focuses on the nature of argument and its types, meaning and
definitions of terms, formal and informal fallacies, syllogistic and sentential logic.
Prerequisites: Not required.
Learning Out comes: At the end of the course students appreciate the study of logic, gain the knowledge,
method and the habit of making correct reasoning. They can construct valid arguments of their own, evaluate
whether arguments that others construct are valid or invalid, strong or weak and develop the habit of using
correct reasoning, accurate language and acquire the passion of reading works of relevant nature.
Module content:- This modular course is composed of five themes grouped into five chapters. It begins with a
chapter of introduction to what logic is. In this chapter students will learn that logic is a science, what an
argument is, types of arguments are, evaluation of arguments. The second chapter teaches them what language
is, the meanings of terms, definitions and their classifications, rules of lexical definitions. Chapter three will
attempt to familiarize students with informal fallacies. They are grouped into fallacies of relevance, weak
induction, presumption, ambiguity and grammatical analogy. In chapter four students will get acquainted with
syllogistic logic. The chapter is composed of two major parts. The first part is concerned with categorical
propositions, attributes of propositions and terms, Venn Diagram and square of oppositions, operations, testing
immediate inferences and translations of ordinary language statements into standard categorical form. The
second major part explores what a categorical syllogism is. It consists of the concept of standard form
categorical syllogism, factors of standard form, methods for evaluating syllogistic arguments, rules and fallacies
of syllogisms, enthymemes and sorites. Chapter five is Propositional Logic. It includes simple and compound
propositions, symbolization and translations of statements, truth functions, definitions of logical operators, truth
tables for propositions and arguments (direct and indirect), argument forms and fallacies, rules of inference
(natural deduction).
Learning Activities and Teaching Methods:- Lectures, oral presentations, class and group
discussions, independent readings and works etc. These involve primarily the module
facilitator (coordinator) and students. The module facilitator takes regularly classes as per the
schedule she/he is assigned to. She/he facilitates the teaching-learning process and the class
activities of students by delivering lecture, giving and correcting assignments, quizzes, papers
or exams, monitoring the attendance of students, encouraging students to actively participate
in class.
Students are required to regularly attend classes, to do the assignments, home-take exams, write papers and
submit them as per the dead line given to each. They should raise and answer questions in class, give comments
and suggestions that favorably help the academic environment. Students are required to keep academic honesty.
In all the papers they write and presentations they make, they should avoid plagiarism, cheating or copying the
145
works of others, and using smuggled papers. Any student found using one of these unethical practices will end
up in failure in the course.
Learning Resources:- Text books, reference materials, papers, markers, photocopy machine, printers, LCD,
scanners and stationary are all required.
Assessment Criteria and Grading System: The system of continuous assessment through written term papers,
presentations, take-home examinations, assignments and quizzes; is mandatory provided that the number of
students does not exceed 40 – 50.
• 10% home take exam

• 10% quiz
• 10% assignments
• 20% mid-exam
• 10% attendance
• 40% final examination
Module Requirement:- Regular attendance of class for both the facilitator and Students is
mandatory. Active participation of students makes the teaching-learning process lively. The
performance of duties as per the given timeline and the completion of assignments in due
time is important for the success of students in the course. Students are required to complete
their reading assignments before class lecture, so that they can understand the lectures and
participate actively in the discussions of the class.
