However, department
faced challenges to produce the desired result due to the rigidity of its
approach, its weakness to reconcile the world of education and the world of
work. Lack of adequate resources and skilled man power (one who can entertain
the discipline with the practical world) are also challenges of the Department.
To overcome such actual and potential challenges, it is imperative to take some
proactive and corrective measures. The rationale for revising this new
curriculum and adopting the modularization approach is to address the
constraints of the old one and providing quality education for our graduates.
For this end, the modularization approach is considered as an immense tool to
produce graduates who can solve problems, perform procedures, communicate
effectively and be able to make rational decisions for the interest of the
public at large. In addition, a maximum effort is made to incorporate the desires
of stakeholders and customers and pursuing a much more transparent and
accountable curriculum to learners and stakeholders.
The
department is preparing itself to adopt a competence based education. Hence,
generic competencies and subject specific competencies are integral parts of
this curriculum. Courses are arranged, modified or adopted to increase the
theoretical, practical, and subject related knowledge, skill and attitude of
learners as well as to rise the capacity for analysis, synthesis, general knowledge,
awareness of the national and international dimensions, capacity for independent
learning, cooperation and communication and capacity for leadership. The
department believes that this curriculum is not the final one, but it can be
improved, developed and enriched through the feedbacks that come from students,
customers, stakeholders, peer departments.
