THE FACULTY OF ENGINEERING, UNIVERSITY OF PERADENIYA
The Faculty of Engineering, University of Peradeniya is the first engineering faculty in Sri Lanka. It was
founded in 1950 andshifted to the present location at Peradeniya in 1964. The Faculty of Engineering is one of the eight
Faculties of the University of Peradeniya, the most prestigious university in Sri Lanka located in a salubrious
environment on the banks of the MahaweliRiver and at the foothills of the Hantana mountain range.
The Faculty maintains its long-standing reputation for excellence in engineering education. The nationally and
internationally accredited curriculum of four-year full-time undergraduate degree programme of the Faculty leads to the
THE FACULTY OF ENGINEERING
degree of Bachelor of the Science of Engineering (BScEng). The curriculum has been planned to offer the students a rich
engineering education through technical courses, non-technical courses of cross-disciplinary breadth, laboratory and
design experience, project works, field works and industrial training. The first year is the General Programme common
to all students and the following three years are devoted to Specialization Programme in one of the six specialization
fields of engineering; Chemical & Process, Computer, Civil, Electrical & Electronic, Mechanical and Production
Engineering.
The Faculty also has several full-time and part-time postgraduate programmes leading to Diploma and MSc, MScEng,
MPhil and PhD degrees. Postgraduate programmes are greatly supported by our collaborations with industry and several
foreign universities. The Faculty keeps abreast with advancing technologies through research and development activities,
staff training, hosting international conferences and meetings. Students and staff closely work with the industry through
consultancy services, research projects, testing services and offering short courses and training programmes in various
topics relevant to the industry.
There are seven established Departments of Study at the Faculty; Department of Chemical & Process Engineering, Civil
Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical & Electronic Engineering, Engineering Mathematics, Mechanical
Engineering, Production Engineering. The academic programmes and services are conducted by these Departments and
are supported by the Computing Centre, Engineering Library, Engineering Workshop, Electrical and Electronic
Engineering Workshop, Engineering Education Unit, Industrial Training and Career Guidance Unit, English Language
Teaching Unit and the Centre for Engineering Research and Postgraduate Studies.
In this residential university, students are blessed with a conducive environment to nurture rich human qualities, to
broaden their horizon by interacting with fellow students of all the communities and all the faculties while enjoying
student life. There are students from all parts of the country representing a wide cross section of society within this
university. Moreover, engineering students have a proud tradition of active involvement in sports, societies and
community services. Needless to say, all these provide an invaluable experience for the students in their future
endeavours. Also, this welcoming experience from the diverse cultural and intellectual climate undoubtedly moulds them
to live in harmony in our pluralistic society respecting social and cultural values, and to be ethical citizens of Sri Lanka.
