Introduction

1. Introduction:
Electrical Engineering is one of the prominent and popular disciplines within engineering. Many people in the developed countries, developing countries and under developed countries have given emphasis for the broader application of electricity. This field has been helping the world for the technological development and it has been creating wage and self-employment opportunities both in public and private sectors. This curriculum is designed with the purpose of producing the middle level
technical workforce equipped with knowledge and skills related to the field of electrical engineering
so as to meet the demand of such workforce in the country to contribute in the national economic development of Nepal. The knowledge and skills incorporated in this curriculum will be helpful to deliver the individual needs as well national needs in the field of electrical engineering.
2. Curriculum title:
Diploma in Electrical Engineering (DEE)
3. Objectives:
This curriculum has the following objectives:

3.1 To produce the middle level competent technical workforce (Technical and Supervisory staff) in electrical engineering.

3.2. To prepare such technicians who are able to work in the industrial settings of the country.

3.3. To prepare such technical workforce who will demonstrate positive attitude and respect for the profession and socio-cultural values.

3.4. To help meet the demand of such technical workforce for the industries of Nepal.

3.5. To reduce the dependence on employing such technicians from foreign countries.

4. Program description:
This course is based on the job required to perform by anelectrical technician at different related industries and organizations in Nepal. The diploma in electrical engineering program extends over three years. Each year is divided into two semesters. There are six semesters within the period of three
years. This curriculum includes the core subjects like physics, chemistry, and mathematics applicable
in the field of engineering. It also includes Nepali and Englishsubjects for the communication. The course structure and the subject wise contents reflect the details of the curriculum. In short, the aim of
this curriculum is to produce competent and highly employable middle level technical workforce in the field of electrical engineering. The contents of individual subjects prescribed in the curriculum are incorporated in the light of "must know and must do" principle. 5

Tutorial, Group Discussion, Demonstration, Simulation, Guided practice, Practical experiences, Fieldwork, Report writing, Term paper presentation, Case analysis, Tutoring, Role-playing, Heuristic,
Project work and Other Independent learning.
Theory: Lecture, Discussion, Seminar, Interaction, Assignment, Group work.
Practical: Demonstration, Observation, Guided practice, Self-practice, Project work, Industries practice
17. Examination and marking scheme:
• The subject teacher internally assesses the students’ achievement in each subject during the course followed by a final examination at the end of each semester.
• A weightage of 20% for the internal assessment and 80% for the semester final examination will be allocated for theoretical components of a subject.
• The final semester examinations of all theory components will be conducted through written tests.
• Generally the method of continuous assessment will be adopted for practical components.
• In some cases semester final examinations are also conducted for practical components as per the needs.
• The student who fails in the internal assessment will not be allowed to sit in the semester final examination and will also not be allowed continuing the following semester study. 7
18. Provision of back paper:
There is a provision of back paper; however, students must pass all the subjects of all six semesters within six years from the date of enrolment.
19. Disciplinary and ethical requirements:
• Intoxication, insubordination or rudeness to peers will result in immediate suspension followed by review by the disciplinary review committee of the institute.
• Dishonesty in academic or practice activities will result in immediate suspension followed by administrative review, with possible expulsion.
• Illicit drug use, bearing arms at institute, threats or assaults to peers, faculty or staff will result
