Appendix 1 Appendix 2 Appendix 3 Page No. 2 of 24 1. A WORD OF WELCOME Welcome to the Physics Unit of Department of Applied Sciences (APS) at Higher
College of Technology (HCT). As a new faculty/staff member, in a new work
place or in a new environment one generally needs relevant information about
the work place, organizational structure and work environment to it. One may
encounter a different working environment, a new system, and oftentimes a
different work culture, philosophy and ethics.
This orientation manual is prepared to provide basic information about the
Physics Unit and the Department, it will help the new staff to adapt to the work
environment. However, the head of Physics Unit will appreciate any queries
whenever one need further information. The staff members of the Physics Unit
believe in teamwork and very willing to help each other. In addition the
department has academic coordinators and a registrar who would be ready to
assist you whenever you need any information and details regarding academic
affairs in the department.
Physics unit fully supports the endeavor of the College to give priority to
students. The staff is expected to impart to the students a quality education that
is commendable to apply professionally and personally. This is to prepare
students to face the upcoming challenges both in workplace and daily life and to
groom them as valuable and productive citizens. Therefore, it is essential for the
staff members to manifest this endeavor through their words and actions when
they teach and deal with the students inside and outside the College.
Page No. 3 of 24 2. INTRODUCTION Physics unit has more than twenty five teaching faculty members and technical support
staff, and four well equipped labs to serve the needs of more than 1500 students of HCT
taking physics course at different levels each semester. The courses offered by the
physics unit reflect the aim, goals and objectives of the Department of Applied Sciences
which is translated in the operational level through the use of various learning activities
and laboratory experiments. The curriculum reflects a clear goal for individual and
national development, and for attaining high level practical skills directly related to the
professional roles for which the students are being prepared.
Physics-1 (PHYS1100) and Physics-2(PHYS1211) are the courses designed for
engineering students while Physics (PHYS1201), Instrumentation (INST2200), Materials
Technology (MATT2200) and Introduction to Renewable Sources of Energy (IRSE2105)
are the courses intended for science students. In addition we also teach couple of
departmental common courses like Safety, Laboratory Organization and Management
(SLOM1301) and Quality Assurance and Quality Management (QAQC3200).
Page No. 4 of 24 a. ACADEMIC STAFF IN THE PHYSICS UNIT.
There are 18 Physics Unit academic staff members. Regular section meetings
are held in which all staff are free to verbalize their opinions and collective
decisions are taken. All Departmental Committee (DC) decisions that the staff
members must know are presented and discussed during section meetings if not
circulated via e-mail. A lecturer may also be assigned as academic adviser
and/or course coordinator.
Page No. 5 of 24 b. TECHNICAL STAFF.
There are 9 laboratory technical staffs under the unit. They are assigned to be
incharge of the Physics Teaching Labs. There are four teaching Labs. Room
(M204) with an adjacent room as Preparation Room-1 (M203) functioning also as
the office of the Physics Coordinator (M203), Physics Teaching Lab-2 Room
(M206), Physics Storage Room (M205), Physics Teaching Lab-3 (M209) and
Preparation Room-2 (M208). New additional teaching laboratory and preparation

Page No. 14 of 24 3. THE COURSE DELIVERY PLAN Every course taught in the department is associated with a course delivery plan.
This is announced via e-learning to all students registered in each course. This
document contains the following:
 The course name, course code and pre-requisites (if any).

The timing & venues of the class.

The lecturer name, contact information & office hours.

A brief description of the course.

The objectives & outcomes of the course

A detailed delivery plan indicating the weekly coverage of outcomes and
relevant materials.

Assessment plan.

Passing grades.

Rules & regulations regarding attendance and examinations polieices.
A sample delivery plan is given in Appendix-1.
4. LECTURER’S FILE As a lecturer, one has to maintain an electronic lecturer course file for all courses
one is teaching. The contents of the lecturer file are given in Appendix‐2. 5. ACADEMIC ADVISING Another important aspect of academic life in the Higher College of Technology is
Academic Advising. Each staff member is assigned around 20 -25 students to be
advised and guided in their academic matters. As an academic advisor one is
responsible for advising the courses to be registered by his/her advisees. The
academic advisors also provide mentoring for their advisees and maintain
records of the advisees academic progress. The content of the adviser’s file is
given Appendix-3.
Generally a new staff member is not given this responsibility in the first
semester after his/her joining. Once a new staff member is assigned with
advising responsibilities he/she is provided with appropriate orientation about
advising responsibilities. Student Handbook, containing the rules and regulations
of the college, is a good reference for academic advisors.
Page No. 15 of 24 6. THE COURSE COORDINATOR When a course is shared among a team (two or more) lecturers, one of them is
designated as course coordinator. The course coordinator deals with day-to-day
problems and coordinates with all the lecturers teaching that course.
Responsibilities of the Course Coordinator

The course coordinator calls for a meeting of all lecturers involved in teaching
the course in the beginning of the semester where the overall delivery of the a
course is discussed.

All tasks related to the course are assigned in this meeting. This includes
identifying staff responsible for setting tests, mid-terms, assignments and the
final exam. Further the moderators should also be assigned.

The Course Coordinator’s File is maintained by the coordinator. The
contents are given in Appendix-3. Also e-file is to be maintained on
departmental network drive (L:).

The course coordinator consolidates the results at the end of the semester as
per the instructions of the examination committee.

The course coordinator ensures that all Quality Assurance related documents
are duly completed and submitted as required by the QA coordinator. This
includes course evaluation by staff and students.
