In
1985, the National Technical Teachers Training College (NTTTC) and the
Technical education unit of the Ministry of Education conducted a
manpower survey in Sri Lanka, which revealed that the ratio of chartered engineers to incorporated
engineers was 1:3. The survey established that a developing country’s
ratio requirement of chartered engineers to incorporated engineers to
technicians should be 1:5:20.
The authorities realized that although adequate numbers of chartered
engineers and technicians were being produced, there was a void between
these two levels in the profession. Therefore steps were taken to bridge
this gap by introducing a program to produce professionals who were
competent in both technical and vocational skills. The Higher National Diploma in Engineering (HNDE)
course, conducted under the Business and Technological Education
Council (BTEC), UK, was altered according to Sri Lanka’s requirement by
professors at Bolton University, UK, and introduced as a pilot program
in Sri Lanka in 1986. This was the birth of HNDE here in Sri Lanka.
The HNDE
is currently administered by the Engineering division of the Sri Lanka
Institute of Advanced Technological Education (SLIATE), which is under
the Ministry of Higher Education. The course duration is 3.5 years,
including six months in-plant training.
