1.0 TITLE OF PROGRAMME
The programme title shall be Bachelor of Engineering in Mechatronics and
Biomedical Engineering (BEng TEMB) in short BEBI.
2.0 PREAMBLE
The production and health service industry need personnel equipped with knowledge
and skills in mechanical and electrical engineering, who can design, build, control,
and maintain a wide range of engineering processes, products and medical systems.
Mechatronics reflects the integration of mechanical, electrical, electronics and
automation. The inclusion of biomedical engineering brings about a unique
integration of mechanical, electrical, electronics, physical sciences and Information
and Communication Technology (ICT), biological and life sciences with a wide
employment opportunity for the graduates.
As the industries and services became more specialized, and the role of the engineer
expanded, the need for specialized personnel in the areas of electrical, mechanical,
and electronics superseded the generality for mechatronics and biomedical
engineering. Many Universities in various countries all over the world offer these
programmes independently. In modern industry and the health sector there is a high
demand for human resource to manage multi-disciplinary automated systems. As a
result, programmes in mechatronics and biomedical engineering will go a long way
in addressing some of the challenges encountered in the production industry and
medical field.
Currently in Uganda and within the East African Region, there are no graduates with
multi-disciplinary skills in mechatronics with knowledge in biomedical engineering.
The programme is strategically designed to output two calibers of graduates. This
are graduates with specialties in electro-mechanics and biomedical systems in
towards the third and fourth year. The study of mechatronics and biomedical
engineering is crucial and the engineers will be required to manage modern
industries and healthcare systems interfaced modern ICT systems to improve
industrial production, services and healthcare outcomes.
Mechatronics and biomedical engineering students have a variety of career goals.

Some students with mechatronics options can work in the in the production and
service industry as engineers immediately following graduation in areas such as:
automotive manufacturing, tunneling and drilling, consumer packaging, food and
beverage production, urban transit, power generation, and industrial equipment
production, and maintenance service provision. For students considering biomedical
engineering option, the curriculum is designed to train engineers for work in a variety
of biomedical environments such as: research hospitals, biomedical industries, and
regulatory agencies, biomedical device and sensor design and development, medical
imaging, bioinformatics, and maintenance services. Others can chose to utilize their
quantitative and problem solving skills in areas such as consulting,
entrepreneurship or finance. Some students will continue their studies to post
graduate level in separate fields of mechatronics and biomedical engineering.
1
On the whole students choose this field in order to:
 Be of service to people
 Work with living systems and
 Apply advance technology to solve complex engineering problems in industry
and medical field.
These areas are in line with Kyambogo University’s (KyU) vision to be a centre of
academic and professional excellence and a mission to advance and promote
knowledge and development of skills in science, Technology and Education. In
addition BTEMB programme has been reviewed by members of the African
Biomedical Engineering Consortium (ABEC) and is beefed with contents from the
generic curriculum developed by ABEC members. Hence the bachelors programme
in mechatronics and biomedical engineering may indeed gear towards equity,
improved health outcomes and progress of the society. This is in line with the
Uganda’s national development goals and vision 2040 of transiting to an
industrialized state by embracing a science and technology driven economy.
2.1 Justification
The Uganda government over the past ten years has been expanding its industrial
sector and the health infrastructure in order to enhance economic growth and make
the health sector responsive to the needs of the Ugandan society. In this regard the
government strategic national development plan is towards an industrialized and
healthy society. To improve the healthcare government and the private sector is
investing heavily in medical and diagnostics equipment to major hospitals
countrywide. However, the human resource capacity to design, manage, operate
industrial systems and medical equipment remains rather weak and inadequate in
Uganda. This has resulted in misuse or underutilization of some medical equipment,
wastage of resources in industries, poor quality industrial products and poor health
service delivery. Therefore, some innovative initiatives are required to develop long-
term solutions to these challenges.
In response to these needs, KyU in collaboration with Ministry of Health (MoH) is

jointly running a Diploma programme in biomedical engineering. The diploma
programme cannot address all the high level needs in industry and healthcare
systems in Uganda; however, the Beng TEMB programme offers the opportunity for
the diploma graduates and training of more target groups to build the requisite
capacity. Hence in order to build more capacities to manage and maintain existing
industrial systems and medical equipment, the BTEMB programme will enhance the
existing initiatives to address the persistent challenges in the Ugandan industry and
healthy sector.
In addition, traditionally, mechanical engineers have managed mechanical systems

and equipment. However, the integration of electrical and electronic systems with
mechanical systems, life sciences has called for the employment of both electrical
and mechanical engineers working on the same system which is costly. Further
more, with advent of ICTs in modern industry, coupled with need to reduce costs; it
is important to have an engineer trained with multiple skills. Therefore, this
programme shall address these needs by training engineers who have multiple skills.
The strategic focus in this multi-disciplinary field is for the graduates to have a wide
choice of career options that also allow a number of departments in the university to
collaborate in teaching and research.
2
KyU is mandated, by the university act of 2003, to conduct research, teach and
provide service to society. In pursuit and fulfilling these functions, the University is
proposing the establishment of the Bachelor of Engineering Programme in BTEMB
at the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering. Going forward, the
university will position its self to be part of the long-term solution of Uganda’s
industry and medical equipment and management by training Engineers with
Mechatronics and Biomedical skills in design, production of industrial and medical
systems as well as their operations and maintenance.

The grade point average (CGPA) shall be calculated using the following formula:
CGPA = ∑n (PGi x CUi)

i=1
∑n CUi
i=1
Where GP, is the Grade Point Score in the Module; i CU i is the number of the Credit
Units of course units i, and n the number of course units taken in that semester or
semester recess. CGPA is calculated using a formula similar to the above, but n is
the number of course units taken from the beginning of the program up to the time
when the CGPA is being calculated less course units that do not count towards the
CGPA.
Thus the CGPA shall be obtained by:-

(a) Multiplying the grade point (GP) obtained by the credit units assigned to the
course to give weighted score for the course
(b) Adding together weighted scores for all courses up to the end of the
programme.
(c) Dividing the total weighted score by total number of credit units taken up to
the end of the programme.
