CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Significance of Program Self-Assessment
Self-Assessment reporting, which can be defined as a systematic process to assess organizational or
institutional quality by monitoring and evaluating various aspects of the programs offered by the
particular entity- is one of the core activities of institutional quality assurance system as well as one of
the most powerful means for any organization to understand and improve its’ performance.
Throughout the world, it is apparent that the subject of assessment is becoming more and more central
to the whole process of higher education, as we seek to find ways to assure and enhance the quality of
educational provision, with a changed focus on outcomes rather than on input. With the changes in
higher education landscape, it is obligatory for University graduates to have a positive mindset
besides academic as well as technical skills and competence in order to find a good fit into the social
system.
The general objective of the University Self-Assessment Program is to identify the strengths and
weaknesses of the particular institution by gathering information on activities related to quality
assurance through discussions with major stakeholders and analyzing those to identify the extent to
which each quality standard is met. The specific objectives are to:
1. Understand the current state of students’ learning and identify their learning needs in order to
develop the required skills

1.2 Process of Assessment

The complete self-assessment process is comprised of several smaller sub-processes accomplished by
the Program Self-Assessment Committee (PSAC). Upon receiving the request from IQAC director,
the Head of CSE, UAP set a meeting with a small group of faculty members forming the core PSAC.
Participants of this meeting as well as members of the core PSAC committee were: Dr. Md. Rashedul
1
Islam (Associate Professor and Head), Dr. Nasima Begum (Assistant Professor), and Abdul Kawsar
Tushar (Lecturer). At this very first meeting the complete Program Self-Assessment Committee was
formed by selecting other faculty members of PSAC and a general writing guideline was developed.
Two days later the second PSAC meeting was set by the PSAC head Dr. Md. Rashedul Islam with all
the members of PSAC committee. In this meeting three sub committees (namely- Survey committee,
Writing Committee, and Review Committee) were formed in order to conduct the whole self-
assessment process in a scheduled, organized manner. The formation of the committees along with
the names and designations of the members was as follows:
Name Designation PSAC designation

Thus two different but mutually dependent subcommittees were formed and rest of the journey is
nothing but the story of them working together under the supervision of the core PSAC. Members of
survey committee took necessary initiatives as per plan to survey the students, non-academic staffs,
and alumni. Alumni were given responsibilities to carry out a survey on their respective employer.
Five sets of questionnaires were administered by the survey committee to conduct the survey on five
primary stakeholders. A total number of 365 respondents comprising of 245 students, 24 faculty
members, 78 alumni, 19 employers and 8 non-academic staff provided feedback in the survey process.

1.3 Overview of the University

University of Asia Pacific (UAP) was established in 1996 with a vision to enhance the opportunities
for higher education in Bangladesh. The University, under the Private University Act 1992, started its
operation in 1996 by offering a four-year Bachelor Degree Programs in Computer Science and
Technology and Business Administration only. Now UAP offers undergraduate programs in nine
disciplines and post-graduate programs in eight disciplines. Its curriculum has been approved by the
University Grants Commission of the Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh.
To accommodate its rapidly increasing students, UAP foundation has undertaken activities to hasten
the construction of its own permanent “CITY CAMPUS” on a previously bought 99 decimals piece of
land in the center of the capital at Green Road to shift there as many of the Departments as possible.
Migration started in September 2015 by shifting the Administrative office to permanent campus and
by April 2016 all Departments of UAP were shifted to the permanent campus in Green road except
Civil Engineering Department which was migrated just one semester later. City campus is located at
House 74/A, Green Road, Dhaka and includes 2449.25 square meters (i.e. 3,88,800 sq.ft ) of space in
a 10 storied building with 3 basements (with the possible scope of extension of 2 more stories). The
campus is designed to meet all academic, professional and social requirements of the university to
provide a 3-stimulating environment for education having standard classrooms, labs, a large
auditorium, library, reading rooms etc. with enriched facilities. However, as the “city campus” was
4
not enough to accommodate the growing size of UAP, two floors were rented at a giant building
adjacent to the permanent campus for BBA and Law Department.

2.4 Academic Leadership and Autonomy

The university has well defined organizational structure. In UAP each of the part of the governance
structure enjoys a reasonable autonomy. The Vice Chancellor is the principle academic as well as
administrative officer of the University of Asia Pacific who provides all the academic as well as
administrative leadership. He also plays an integral part in developing and evolving the institutions’
strategy as well as vision along with playing a leading part in shaping the academic development of
UAP.
The VC is also a member of the Syndicate, the highest executive body of the organization that acts
with great autonomy. The syndicate of UAP has complete jurisdiction over all of the academic issues
which are placed in front of the Board of Trustees as per necessity.
Similarly, the highest body regarding academic decisions; the Academic Council also exercises a
great deal of academic freedom. The council employs regulations prescribing the courses of studies
and curricula, proper standards of instructions, research and examination. The committee of courses
and studies at each department recommends the curricula and syllabus of courses prepared by each
program and advances to the Academic Council for its approval to forward it to UGC for granting
permission to engage in offering the course(s). Each of the department of UAP is leading by the Head
of the Department and organization structure of it and allows them to act with great deal of autonomy
in both academic and management issues of the respective departments.
2.5 Peer observation and Feedback Process

Standard 1-11: Decision making procedure in the entity is participatory.
The Syndicate is the supreme authority in major policy-making matters and in approving
recommendations. The Finance Committee, the Planning and Development Committee, as well as
other committees assist the Syndicate in matters important for proper functioning of the University.
The Academic Council is the supreme body for formulating academic rules and regulations to which
the CASR, Boards of Undergraduate and Graduate Studies and the Faculties recommended.

CHAPTER III
CURRICULUM DESIGN AND REVIEW
A well-defined up-to-date curriculum is essential for a program in any academic institution. Typically,
a curriculum refers to the knowledge and skills students are expected to learn in a program, which
includes the learning objectives they are expected to meet, the lessons that teachers teach, the
assignments and projects given to students, the books, materials, videos, presentations, and readings
used in a course, and the tests, assessments, and other methods used to evaluate student's learning.
Thus designing useful curriculum is the key to an effective teaching-learning process. This chapter
covers the curriculum of dept. of Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) program, its review
process, and alignment with the generic skills to be obtained by the graduates of the program. The
overview on these issues is combined with the discussion of various standards as prescribed in the
self-assessment manual.
Standard 2-1: Curriculum is reviewed and updated at regular intervals in compliance with the
rules of the universities.
Standard 2-2: Opinions from the relevant stakeholders (students, teachers, employers and alumni)
are duly considered during review of the curriculum.
Standard 2-3: Courses in the curriculum from lower to higher levels are consistently arranged.
Standard 2-3: Teaching strategies are clearly stated in the curriculum.
Standard 2-3: Assessment strategies are explicit in the curriculum.
Standard 2-4: Curriculum load is optimum and exerts no pressure.
Standard 2-4: Curriculum addresses the program objectives and program learning outcomes.
Standard 2-5: The curriculum is effective in achieving day-one skill (which happens right at the
beginning in the first day at job place)
3.1 Need Assessment

To meet the growing technological challenges confronting the nation and the world as a whole, the
dept. of CSE has designed the curriculum and syllabus of the subjects offered in the undergraduate
and graduate courses accordingly. The curricula and syllabi are relevant to the current needs, and are
26
responsive to the emerging challenges. The rules and regulations for undergraduate curricula through
course system are applicable for all students.
The dept. of CSE, University of Asia Pacific (UAP) strives for a pioneer role in Information,
Communication and Technology (ICT) through excellence in education, research and development
towards preparing graduates as a global leader with quality innovative ideas, extra-curricular
activities and collaboration between industry and academia. The CSE dept. believes in the pursuit of
excellence by developing students in creating, applying and imparting knowledge of ICT. Educational
curriculum, research and collaboration between academia and industry are given the highest priority.
The department aspires to produce graduates capable of taking leadership in the field of their best
interest both in academic and professional life.
3.2 Curriculum Design

The dept. of CSE offers a well-timed curriculum approved by the University Grants Commission
(UGC) for both the undergraduate and graduate program that aims to cover all the major
specializations for the overall development of a student in computer science and engineering
education. The curriculum of 4-years undergraduate program consists of 162 credit hours spread in 71
courses including laboratory courses and thesis/project work. The courses are divided into eight
semesters for 4-years. The first year focuses on the foundation and general education courses to
provide the necessary background for more specialized study in the future within this field. From
second year onward, students get familiarized with the knowledge and skills concerning to the entire
spectrum of computer science and engineering discipline core courses. In the final year of the
program, curriculum offers options to select courses based on their desired field of specification.
Additionally, in the final year, students are engaged by a thesis/project work whereby they remain
attached and worked on the desired area for about one year in order to have a strong understanding of
real life problem for which they can make a modern solution with the perfect use of ICT. The students
are then required to write a report on their experiments and findings, and finally make a presentation
before a thesis/project defense committee. The courses in the curriculum are structured into 6 area(s):
general education, foundation, core, optional courses and thesis/project work. Except the four, namely,
Bangladesh Studies: Society and Culture, Bangladesh Studies: Bangladesh History, English II :
English for Communications and ICT Law, Policy & Ethics (each of them is of 2 credit hours), all the
other courses are of 3 credits. Some laboratory courses are of 1.5 credit hours and some are of 0.75
credit hours. The course structure along with the number of courses in each area is presented in Table
3.1.

The department of CSE also offers a 1-year MSc. program, ‘Master in Computer Science &
Engineering (MCSE)’ that aims to provide for a modern demand of high-tech professionals in
computer science and its related fields. The curriculum of this program consists of total 36 credit
hours spread in 6 courses (out of 25) and a thesis/project work. The curriculum also offers two other
Masters Programs: Master in Computer Applications (MCA) and Master in Computer Science (MCS).
All the 25 courses are of 3 credit hours and the thesis work is of 12 credit hours. The students have to
complete at least 12 credits of core courses and 6 credits of elective courses. The course structure
along with the number of courses in each area is presented in Table 3.2.

Stakeholders' View
During survey conduction, specific questions were asked to stakeholders regarding curriculum design
and review. In the survey, three stakeholders, namely, alumni, students and academics staff/faculties
have participated, as there was no question directed to the employers and non-academic staff on this
particular aspect. From table 3.3, it is found that the stakeholders did not quite agree with the above
statement with the grand mean falling short of 4.0 (‘Agree’). The reason behind is one entity of this
survey is alumni who didn't get the updated revised curriculum.

3.3 Review Process

UAP has a very well-defined and dynamic procedure to facilitate a periodic review of different
academic programs. It includes making decisions about how to effectively address the particular
needs, interests and circumstances of the students and community.
Review Process
UAP has eight different departments, and in each of the department, there is a course and curriculum
committee. The course and curriculum committee comprise the departmental Head and full-time
teachers, an expert from industry and two subject-matter external experts from other universities, as
nominated by the Dean of the school or Head of the department. The course curriculum and the
syllabus are subject to periodic updates. Feedback from each course teacher is collected by the
respective coordinators which is consolidated and forwarded to the committee to be considered at the
31
time of revision. Faculty members are asked to maintain a separate file regarding the changes needs to
be made in the next curriculum revision based on their experience about the course content and
current issues [Standard 2-2].
Periodic feedback from employers and alumni gives direction on the required modifications to be
made in the syllabus. Subject experts from both academia and concerned faculties are consulted
before revision of syllabus. After the detailed discussion among the committee members, the board of
committee re-form the curriculum and the detailed syllabi of each program. Once the departmental
committee reviews and proposes any changes to the curriculum, the suggestions are then taken up by
the Academic Monitoring and Coordination Committee (AMCC). In general, the AMCC meets every
month and discusses any issues relating to academic. If the proposed suggestions regarding the
changes are concurred by the members of AMCC, it is then subjected to the further decision from the
Academic Council (AC). After it is approved by AC, it is placed before the University Syndicate for
further verification. Upon approval of the Syndicate, the proposed revised curriculum is sent to UGC
for its further review and final ratification. Through such a rigorous review process, a new and
improved version of the syllabus comes into effect [Standard 2-1].
The department needs to consider the impact of the proposed changes in the curriculum and consult
with those who may be affected. New programs and new courses often have implications for the use
of resources within academic affairs or the availability of support services across the university.
Moreover, programs are often interdependent, thus courses from one program may be requirements or
electives in other majors, minors and changes to them have impact beyond the originating
departments.
Under the IQAC guidelines, the department has concentrated its attention to design the entire CSE
course curriculum to organize and prepare the course contents of all the courses using the Outcome
Based Education (OBE) model under the Washington Accord. In concern to that the SA committee
arranged several training sessions and a number of seminars for the faculty members during last few
months to train up and provide directions how to implement these strategies in designing as well as
modifying the course contents under OBE model. In each session, the proposed changes made by the
faculty members from CSE were reviewed by the SA committee again. It is mentionable that within
the very short time of starting of self-assessment program, the dept. of CSE has already demonstrated
a significant contribution to update and recast the course contents and course structure to maximize
the effectiveness of a course for the students to ensure that it has got utmost relevance to the
constantly growing modern community needs.

Regarding the statement as to whether the stakeholders’ opinions are considered during the review
process, the value derived from the faculties’ opinions stands at 3.79, which falls below 4.0. This
means that the faculties do not concur with this above statement, which also is in line with the
practice pursued until recently. However, this has not been the case in the recent implementation of

3.4 Curriculum and Skill Mapping

Program Outcomes (POs) are defined in terms of knowledge, skills and attitude that students are
expected to attain by their time of graduation. Each course outline consists of a certain number of POs.
To define and implement these POs, a number of workshops and seminars has taken place in the
department, where the faculty members received training from the experts on their respective field.
After having consecutive training, workshops, seminars and intensive discussions, all the faculties
agreed upon the 12 POs for the CSE program. These POs are stated in each course outline provided to
the students by the respective course instructor at the beginning of the semester. The 12 POs along
with their definitions/explanations are presented in Table 3.7 [Standard 2-4]. More information
regarding POs can be found in Appendix A.
Table 3-7. Program Outcomes (POs) with their Definitions/Explanations

3.5 Gaps in Curriculum

Changing the curriculum is a continuous process. Identifying the gaps and addressing those
effectively, will always bring improvements. Technological advancement and explosion of
knowledge is the basic reason of changing course curriculum.
In the existing curriculum, there are a number of gaps that had been identified during the review
process of course outline of individual courses of CSE curriculum. Those limitations had been
addressed by proposing and implementing the revised curriculum at the dept. of CSE. Several
recommendations have come out from the current students, alumni, faculty members and employers.
A brief enumeration on this issue is highlighted below:
1. Even though there are number of programming languages included in the course curriculum,
including some more advanced and latest programming languages like Ruby on Rails, MLA,
BPN, Python in the course curriculum will improve the programming language diversity of
the students.
2. Including some most promising and demandable research based courses like User Privacy
and Cyber Security may help the students for further research and higher study fund during
and after the graduation.
3. Guest speaker from top level industry with different expertise may be invited to conduct
certain topics which may include in the revised curriculum and can share their real-life
industry experience with the students.
4. Internship program can be included in the curriculum so that the students can get on-hand
experience before completion of their graduation.
5. Effective training program for the students on different programming language will increase
the programming capability and increase the confidence to take challenge on competitive
development.
6. Some courses or projects can be included where students will be able to implement real life
related problem through the use of ICT.
7. Industrial courses can be included in the curriculum to provide the students prior knowledge
on practical job environment.
8. Collaboration with foreign universities will help the students to take part in exchange
program which will increase the students' skill diversity.
9. Frequent presentation practice during the semester will increase the communication and
presentation skills of the students.

CHAPTER IV
STUDENT ADMISSION, PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
4.1 Entry Qualification
Standard 3-1: Entry Requirements must be well defined, measurable and communicable to the
potential candidates for admission.
Entry requirements of UAP are well defined. Before beginning of each semester, Registrar office of
UAP circulates notice for undergraduate admission test and prescribed application form which is
available on the website of UAP (http://www.uap-bd.edu) from where candidates can get the
application form for admission into various undergraduate programs.
Registrar office also gives advertisements in the leading Bengali & English newspapers to inform
prospective candidates. After that, the role of admission office begins, which is very crucial because it
is the first point of contact for prospective students. The office of admission at UAP is dedicated to
assisting students and communicating with prospective students and their parents/guardians.
Department of CSE, UAP has some criteria that ensure applicants possess the skills and knowledge to
successfully complete the program. These requirements are as follows:
B.Sc. Engineering
Candidates scoring total GPA of 7.50 in SSC and HSC (with Min GPA 3.00 in HSC) or scoring total
GPA of 7.00 in SSC and Diploma can sit for the admission test in B.Sc. Engineering in CSE program.
Candidates with minimum GPA of 2.5 in O level in five subjects and A level in two subjects and total
GPA of 6.0 according to UAP scale are eligible to apply for admission.
Candidates must have Physics, Mathematics in HSC (or equivalent) and Chemistry in either SSC or
HSC (or equivalent).
GED candidates would be eligible to get admission if they have a cumulative score of 2250 and not
less than 410 in individual modules.
Candidates having a break of study of not more than two years may apply for admission.
45
Candidates transferring credits from any other university with a system similar to UAP are allowed to
apply with the required documents and the matter will be decided by the Equivalence Committee of
Department of CSE.
Candidates successfully completing school abroad are required to submit their applications and
verified/attested copies of previous academic documents/transcripts from their institute/Foreign
Ministry & Equivalence Certificate from Secondary & Higher Secondary Education Board, Dhaka.
Candidates who pass through the admission test are then called for a viva voce examination. However,
candidates scoring total GPA of 10.00 in SSC and HSC are directly called for the viva voce
examination.
M. Sc.
Candidates must have one 1st class/ 1st Division in any public examination. 50% Marks or CGPA
2.50 out of 4.00 in B.Sc. Engineering is required. Candidates must not have 3rd Division/ class in any
public examination. Candidates meeting all the above requirements are selected for admission with
the approval of Head of the Department.

Aspect of Evaluation Students Alumni Teachers Staff Grand
Mean
Admission policy ensures entry of 3.72 3.55 3.71 N/A 3.66
quality students
From the survey data, it is evident that admission policy reasonably ensures entry of capable and
quality students. It can be interpreted from the findings that while faculty members and students
concurred with the statement, the alumni were also in favor of the claim. The response could be
attributed to the fact that if all private universities complied with the policy of UGC in following
‘Semester System’, then admission time for all universities will be uniformed which would accelerate
competition and ensure the process of acquiring quality students.
Standard 3-2: Entry requirements must reflect the level of qualifications required to afford the
academic load of a particular program and match with the nature of the discipline.
1. Engineering students need to know the basics of Math, Physics and Chemistry very well to
carry out the program successfully. For this, the eligibility criteria of the department
mentioned that candidates must have these subjects in SSC, HSC (or equivalent).
46
2. GPA 7.50 is the prerequisite for appearing in the admission test. However, meeting this
requirement does not guarantee an entry to the program. It will merely ensure the eligibility
to sit for written test.
3. The eligible candidates sit for a 1.5 hour admission test on Mathematics, Physics, English and

The survey results manifest that the alumni fairly agreed with their response while the other two
stakeholders responded positively. It can be assumed that the alumni are not acquainted with the
inclusion of the rigorous selective process of admission. However, grand mean score is 3.57,
indicating that current admission procedure facilitates to get commitment from the students to ensure
desire progress and achievement but scope for improvement is still there.
33% faculty members and 32% alumni gave neutral response to the question. This can be explained
because of the fairly high acceptance rate in the admission test. The department is concerned of this
matter and trying to reduce the number of student intake each semester to improve the overall quality
of admission procedure.

4.2 Admission Procedure

Standard 3-3: The admission process ensures fair treatment to all applicants with transparent and
good practices and do not discriminate applicants in any way.
UAP pays close attention to standard approach in terms of admission procedure. In compliance with
UAP rules, Department of CSE conducts two admission tests before each of Spring and Fall Semester.
Dates of the tests are published in newspapers and on the university website. Prospective candidates
taking admission to B.Sc. Engineering in CSE program have to collect admission materials from the
admission office and return the application forms with necessary documents to the admission office.
The entire process of admission goes through a rigorous selection process where applicants are asked
to follow the given instructions. To get admitted into B.Sc. Engineering program all candidates must
sit for a written admission test and a viva voce. At the time of taking admission, selected candidates
must submit attested copy of original certificates, transcripts/mark sheets, testimonials etc.
Results of SSC, HSC examinations and marks obtained in admission test are assessed for selecting
prospective candidates. For admission into B.Sc. Engineering program, candidates are given a score
out of Total 300. The distribution is as follows:
 GPA of both SSC and HSC exam (or equivalent) are converted to 100 separately
(Earned GPA x 20)
 Admission Test Score out of 100
The Admission Test of B.Sc. Engineering in CSE program has two phases:
 Written Test
 Viva Voce
For conducting the written test, an examination committee is formed with the Head of the department
as the Chair. A group of teachers from the department act as question setters, invigilators, script
examiners and scrutinizers. The Admission Committee also sets the minimum score out of 300 for
eligibility of admission and prepares result which is published by the admission office. Admission
office then informs selected candidates the date and venue of viva voce.
49
For M.Sc. in CSE program, only 10 candidates are selected each semester after viva voce and direct
approval from Head of the department.

Figure 4-3. Responses of stakeholders for the question “Admission procedure is quite
fair”
In the survey, 3 groups namely alumni, students, and teachers have been asked the question
“Admission procedure is quite fair”. The stakeholders mostly either agreed or remained neutral on the
topic. A large number of faculty members (46%) remained neutral too indicating that revision on the
50
admission procedure can bring further improvement. The department of CSE is actively taking
measures to ensure the quality of admission test procedure.
Standard 3-4: Everyone has confidence in the integrity of the admission process.
The department ensures that it maintains integrity in completing the admission process. As mentioned
earlier, a separate committee is formed to handle the admission process. The committee consists of
three members who are responsible to carry out all the activities regarding admission test. Members
of the committee are responsible for preparing the admission test questions, photocopying the
questions, seat planning, checking the scripts and preparing the written test results. The committee
assigns teachers of the department for any of the above tasks as required. Admission committee also
announces the viva voce date for the selected students. Except the members of the admission
committee, no other faculty member is involved with the process. Confidentiality is strictly
maintained in every phase from preparing the question to scrutinizing the script by each of the
members of admission committee.
Standard 3-5: The admission process is competent enough to differentiate between apparently
equally qualified and non-qualified candidates for courses with competitive entry.
The eligibility to apply for admission in the B.Sc. Engineering program is determined by the students’
academic credentials of last 4 years.
Standardized questions are designed for ensuring competitive entry which in turn helps to
successfully screen out deserving candidates. In the most recent admission test of Fall 2017, 175
candidates participated in written test. Among them, 120 were finally selected for admission.
If more than one student gets same marks in written examination then deserving candidate is selected
through the final viva voce.
Standard 3-6: The admission procedure enables the institution to select students who have
potentials and are able to complete the academic program successfully.
Students admit into the program after qualifying the admission examination by the department. This
examination is quite standardized which ensures selection of capable students. The potentials of the
prospective candidates are tested by questions focused on creative and fundamental problems.
The syllabus of admission test includes Mathematics, Physics, English and Aptitude. Each of these
topics is required to successfully complete the engineering program. Students’ knowledge on these
51
topics is checked through the examination. This procedure enables to select potential students who
can complete the degree requirements.
3% of total seats are reserved for the children of Freedom Fighters and another 3% for meritorious but
poor students from remote areas of Bangladesh. They are offered full free education opportunity.

4.3 Progress and Achievement

Standard 3-7: The quality assurance system of universities should be in place to assure that levels
of students’ achievements and progress are monitored and recorded duly for the use of reference
points, evaluation of achievement and meaningful academic guidance and counseling.
The Quality Assurance Cell of UAP has started their activity recently.
1. The Controller of Exam office stores the records of Students’ progress and achievements.
Teachers, Administrative Offices and respective students can access these records through
UAP Automation Software (https://uap.orbund.com).
2. Monitoring of student is done by the advisor of each student. Advisors track a student’s
academic progress and give academic guidance and mentoring accordingly.
52
3. The department of CSE has been practicing a rigorous individual and group counseling by the
concerned course teachers. This counseling offers students the opportunity to sit down one-
on-one with a course teacher apart from his/her regular class schedule. During the counseling
period, course teacher discusses specific academic concerns that the student might have,
offers suggestions on strategies to improve academic performance, and addresses other issues
hindering academic performance.
Student Advisor
Department of Computer Science & Engineering has a strong student advisory system. One advisor is
appointed for a group of students by the concerned department. The advisors usually perform the
following responsibilities:
 Maintain regularly scheduled office hours for academic advising as needed throughout the
semester.
 Assist the students in selection of courses on a short-term and long-term basis.
 Monitor academic progress of advisees as well as their behavior, manner in the campus and
initiate contact with advisees those are failing to progress satisfactorily.
 Inform students the changes in academic policy, rules and curriculum in the university.
 For students with excellent academic background and for needy students, advisor
recommends to the higher authority for financial assistance.
10.
UAP has a waiver policy which is given on the basis of Semester GPA. Tuition fee waiver (only for
merit-based) is awarded based on GPA.

Aspect of Evaluation Students Alumni Grand
Mean
Students’ progress are regularly recorded and monitored 3.67 3.55 3.61

progress
It is seen from the survey that, the 26% alumni remained neutral regarding the process of recording
and monitoring the students’ progress whereas the existing students were closed to becoming
affirmative. The response could be attributed to the fact that there lies significant room for
improvement in terms of regular monitoring and recording of students’ progress.
In response to the 2nd question, “Teachers provide regular feedback to the students about their
progress” the aforementioned 2 groups’ mean scores were 3.76 and 3.39 respectively. It can be
interpreted from the result that the current students receive regular feedback from their teachers which
guide their future improvement. Though, a large group of stakeholders remained neutral on the topic.
The grand mean signifies that the stakeholders were in favor of the statement.

Standard 3-9: Student progress and achievement monitoring system is comprehensive enough to
identify the students, who are showing poor progress, who are not achieving and who are at risk.
Progress Semester by Semester
A student’s performance in a running semester decides which courses he/she can take on the
upcoming ones. Most of the core courses require some pre-requisites to be completed before
enrollment. A student is not allowed to take a course unless he/she completes all pre-requisites.
A student is normally required to earn at least 15 credits (out of 17.5 to 20 credits) in a semester. At
the end of each semester, the students will be classified into one of the following three categories:
Category 1:
“Students who have passed all the courses prescribed for the semester and have no backlog of
courses”
A student of Category 1 is eligible for registration in all courses prescribed for the next or following
semesters.
Category 2:
“Students who have earned at least 15 credits in a semester but do not belong to Category 1”
These students are advised to take at least one course less in the following semester than those offered
for students of Category 1, subject to the condition that, they will register for such backlog courses as
prescribed by the respective advisor.
Category 3:
“Students, who have failed to earn 15 credits in a semester”
58
Students of this category are advised to take at least two courses less in the following semester than
those offered for students of Category 1 subject to the registration for a minimum of 15 credits and
maximum 24 credit hours. However, they are required to register for such backlog courses as
prescribed by the advisor.
Any course in any semester has to be repeated for the purpose of grade improvement. F grades are not
counted for GPA calculation but are mentioned on the grade sheet and transcript. A student can
improve the grade of a course by either participating in a repeat exam for that course (under special
conditions) or by retaking the course as ‘backlog’ on any of the subsequent semesters.
Performance Evaluation
The performance of a student is evaluated in terms of semester GPA and cumulative grade point
average (CGPA), which is the grade point average for the semesters under consideration. A candidate
is awarded a degree with honors if his/her CGPA is 3.75 or above. A student is considered to be
making normal progress towards a degree if his/her CGPA for all work attempted is 2.25 or better and
is in good standing with the university.
Students who fail to maintain this minimum rate of progress fail to be in good standing. Such
circumstances may prevail under one or more of the following conditions:
 Semester GPA falls below 2.25.

 Cumulative GPA falls below 2.25.
Earned credits fall below 15 times the number of semesters studied.
Repeat Examination Rules
A student is allowed to appear at the Repeat Examination in case s/he fails in three theory courses or
less but not exceeding 10 credit hours. The results of Repeat Examinations are published within three
weeks from the date of publication of the results of the Semester Final Examination concerned. The
department arranges such Repeat Examinations. Candidates willing to appear at such Repeat
Examinations must apply to the Heads of department through the respective advisors stating their
willingness to appear at the said examination. Repeat examinations are held before next semester
would start.
Repeat Examinations on theory courses are held on 50 percent of marks for each course and the
marks for Class Assessment and Mid Semester Examination are carried. There are no repeat
examinations for sessional courses. The maximum grade to be obtained by a student in a repeat
examination is B (equivalent to 60%).
59
Provisions for Improvement of Grades
Category A
The Provision for Improvement of grades applies to those only who obtained a grade C or lower in
any course. Such candidates are allowed to improve their grades by surrendering the earlier grade
obtained by him/her.
For grade improvement purpose, a student is allowed to repeat a maximum of four courses.
For availing such provision of grade improvement, a candidate needs apply to the Controller of
Examinations through the Head of the Department. A student can apply for such provision any time
during his/her study period in the university but not beyond two weeks after the publication of his/her
final semester results.
Category B
A Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of minimum 2.25 is required for graduation. A candidate
whose CGPA is below 2.25 has to increase his/her CGPA to the minimum requirement within two
consecutive semesters failing which s/he is placed under academic probation.

student records. Students responded positively about the feedback they get from teachers on their
progress and performance whether the alumni remained neutral. Although there is still room for
improvement on student monitoring. The department of CSE is taking initiatives to find an optimal
threshold to limit student intake each semester and improve the quality.

CHAPTER V
PHYSICAL FACILITIES
Physical facilities give educational institutions their complete shape and a good environment to learn
and teach which can have a profound impact on both student’s and faculty’s outcomes. Physical
facilities can affect a student’s health, behavior, engagement, learning, and growth in achievement as
well as the commitment and effort of the faculties and stuff. Physical facilities in any educational
institution include building, classroom, laboratory, library, cafeteria leisure room to other
infrastructural facilities that can motivate the students towards learning. The department of CSE of
the University of Asia pacific has an excellent physical facilities to provide the students the best

CHAPTER VI
TEACHING LEARNING AND ASSESSMENT
Standard 6.1: Teaching Learning Practice is interactive, motivating, promoting a sense of
responsibility and commitment.
Standard 6.2: Teaching Learning Practice involves practical evidence, initiates critical
thinking and inspires students to apply acquired knowledge in the real-life situations
focusing on higher order of learning.
Teaching is the process, by which a teacher assists their students to acquire knowledge. There are
numerous teaching methods depending on the requirement of a particular course and the teacher’s
innate style. Two of the most widely used teaching methods at Department of Computer Science and
Engineering are the direct lecture method and the demonstration method. In the direct lecture method
the teachers deliver regular lectures of 3 hours for 3.0 credits per week. The end goal of this method is
to examine and evaluate how successfully the students have received the instructions and information
delivered by their teachers on the subject matter. Demonstrating is mainly used in the
sessional/laboratory courses which are normally of 1.5 credit hours (3 hours duration per week). One
or in some case Two teachers are assigned for each sessional class with one lab assistant. Teachers
provide instructions on the theory and experimental procedure before the experiments. Then, the
teachers demonstrate the experiments to the students with the help from the lab assistants. In
computer based sessional courses, students are given hands-on-training on different open source
software and programming languages that are used in different software/computer engineering studies.
A thesis or project spanning one year and accounting for 6 credits is an essential part of the
curriculum. The program also includes a weekly session of active interaction between students and
supervisors. The students are assigned to work in different areas of computer science related problems
in accordance with their concentration such as Robotics, Image Processing, Machine Learning,
Artificial Intelligence etc. They are instructed by their supervisor to follow the guideline of
thesis/report writing manual and to prepare thesis/report accordingly. The students are required to
present the report in front of Defense Board, comprising all faculty members.
81
6.1 Quality Staff

Faculty members are highly qualified in their academic credentials and experience in industry
practices. The teachers are given training after their joining to improve teaching and learning
assessment. It motivates the teachers to develop skill to carry out the responsibilities. Senior and
experienced teachers share their experience with junior teachers to guide them for better performance.
As part of interactive session in classroom, the students are encouraged to ask questions. The students
are assigned different assignments by the teachers. This method helps the students to interact with the
teachers about assignment related problem that they may face and the ways of solving them.
Specified time is allotted by each and every faculty member to deal with any queries. A faculty
advisor assumes the responsibility of student counseling to guide them about their duties,
commitment, academic rules and regulations of the department.

Response of all the groups for the statement “Teaching learning is interactive and supportive” and
“Entity provides adequate opportunities for practical exercises to apply in real life situation” was
found above average. Survey showed that, students almost agree that teachers remain available during
the specified office hours and after class for consultations while all groups agree that class size is
optimum. Students responded that the standard of using diverse teaching methods and inspiring
82
students for own learning is below average although other groups responded to this as above average
condition. The teachers’ response was found as above average for all of the questions.
6.2 Use of Lesson Plan

Standard 6.3: Use of lesson plans should be formalized in teaching learning practice with proper
documentation and access
Teachers provide lesson plan in a form of detailed description of the course content. The format is
mostly chapter wise, where a chapter is divided among several lectures. The presentation and/or class
test schedule and number of test are also included in the plan. There is limited use of lesson plan as
learning trajectory for a lesson. In some cases, daily lesson plan is developed by a teacher to guide
class learning. Details normally vary depending on the preference of the teacher, subject being
covered, and the needs of the students.
There is no a mandatory template requirement by the department regarding the lesson plan. As a
result, lesson plans are formalized in teacher-level, in accordance within the template. The access of
the documents is also frequent among teachers in most cases. The department has a structured policy
to keep these for further use.

was found close to very good from current students while good from alumni and faculty members. So,
it can be stated that this practice is increasing with time.
6.3 Technology Integration

Standard 6.4: Teaching learning practice integrates the use of technology and also should provide
students with opportunities to use these skills in academic preparation, both within and outside of
the classroom
The department provides facilities to the students for effective academic preparation with the
integration of technology. The facilities include multimedia projectors and personal computer for
teachers, computer lab and library computers for all students. All computers are available with
internet facilities with Wi-Fi network as well. The presentation works of different courses also require
information from various online sources.
All teachers have the practice of using power point presentation to teach efficiently in the classroom
so that students get scope to learn more realistically with the actual figures, graphs, image and videos.
In some courses there is an option of online submission (such as, in courses CSE-102 and CSE-104)
of assignments via Google classroom.
Students are taught the use of different software and programming languages used in
software/industry projects like C, C++, PHP, JAVA, Python and MATLAB. Students apply these
tools in their thesis work and they have to submit the soft-copy of their report too. Students are
encouraged from the department to publish scientific paper in conferences and/or journals based on
their thesis work.

6.4 Skill Development Mechanism

Standard 6.5: The teaching learning methods and opportunities must ensure that the identified
skills are transferred to students
85
Standard 6.6: Teaching learning practice provides enough scope to integrate co-curricular and
extra-curricular activities for intended skill development.
The teaching practice is focused on technical skill development along with their communication skill,
oral and writing skill, management skill and networking skill. Objectively designed curriculum for
all courses ensures quality technical skill. Though there is a lack of hands-on training in the program
but the students are taught modeling software and other software for relevant design and analysis (in
courses CSE-305, CSE-405, CSE-437). The curriculum is updated regularly based on the opinions of
alumni, professionals, employers and other technical bodies.
Students have to communicate with class teachers and advisors verbally both within and outside of
the classroom. They have to present their work and/or their assignments (such as, in Courses CSE-
102, CSE-105, and CSE-438 etc.) in front of students and teachers. These help to develop students’
oral communication skill. Writing skill of students is mainly developed by report writing. Students
have to submit different reports such as lab reports, survey reports along with the thesis report. They
often write scientific reports with their respective supervisors. Most of the assignments require
extensive reading from different Sources from where they have to summarize the required findings.
Thus, they can improve their writing skill. Different group activities (such as, in Courses CSE-102,
CSE-300, CSE-438 etc.) helps to develop students’ management skill. Group works such as
surveying, group presentation etc. are part of the curriculum. The department also provides scopes to
students to arrange co-curricular and extra-curricular activities as well. Co-curricular activities
include field trips (such as, Bandarban and Cox’s Bazar Tour of 33rd batch, Annual Picnic arranged
by 33rd and 34th batch) etc. There are also extra-curricular activities like annual Sports and games
tournament, festival (Software Expo and Career Fair 2017). These activities can develop the
management skill among students.
6.5 Assessment of student Performance

Standard 6.7: Students are well informed about the criteria, processes, techniques. Tools and
metric will be used to assess performance.
Standard 6.8: In line with teaching learning student performance assessment approach must is
focused on higher learning.
Standard 6.9: Assessment procedure should be comprised of a set of multiple activities to measure
attainment of learning outcomes and skills
86
The performance of a student is assessed by the university based on some set rules. In summary, the
total mark of assessment of theory courses is divided into attendance (10%), continuous assessment
(class performance, class test, assignment, presentation) (20%) midterm examination (30%) and final
examination (70%). Students are informed at the semester beginning about this contribution.
Assessment of sessional courses has been practiced with almost similar divisions and additional viva
test and lab final test. The assessment of thesis is based on quality of mark, report and presentation.
This assessment is done by the supervisor and members of defense board.
The Grading System
Letter grades and corresponding grade-points will be awarded in accordance with provisions shown

Standard 6.10: Assessment procedure must be designed to test abilities and skills of student
for integration and application of knowledge and analytical approaches
Different analysis and design problems along with theoretical questions are there in the final
examination question. The open-ended assignments are given in some courses (CSE-300) to assess
individual student which also develop students’ problem solving and Software Development
capability. Students Work/study on specific topic for preparation that develops their own learning
capability. For the thesis study, each student works in detail individually but with the assigned group
with respective supervisor on a unique and unsolved problem. So, the assessment is directly towards

8.2 Academic Staff Development

Department of Computer Science and Engineering holds training programs, organizing/participating
seminars/workshops a, provisioning research support for continuous improvement of the academic
staffs. Also, the department sends faculties to other universities for training purposes to modernize
teaching methods and improve professional skills.
Improving Learning and Teaching Skills (ILTS):
The ILTS program is a praiseworthy initiative taken by UAP in order to train the teachers to learn and
teach, so that they can be better learners and teachers in the future. Knowledge is an asset that can
never diminish, but it needs to be taken care of in order to spread effectively to the students/ the
future generation.
With a view to improve the overall quality of the teachers, UAP authority launched the Improving
Learning and Teaching Skills (ILTS) program on May 2017. The course was planned by Prof. Dr. M.
R. Kabir, the honorable Pro Vice Chancellor of UAP. It was a 30 hours course with duration of 1.5
months. Total 20 faculties from all the department of UAP were nominated to attend this program.
The program was led by Prof. Dr. M. R. Kabir and he was associated by 3 others faculty members.
The whole course was divided into several segments including lectures, presentation by participating
teachers, lectures on Outcome Based Education (OBE), a special workshop, appearance of two
experienced faculty members as guest lecturers and finally a closing and certificate awarding
ceremony.
The lectures were given on role of teachers of today, qualities of an effective and creative teacher,
how to prepare for an upcoming lecture, how to grab students’ attention in the class i.e. how to make
a class interactive etc.
Research Support
University of Asia Pacific provides research support for publications of faculty members for
international journals and conferences. The following table shows various aspects of research and
extension services that have been evaluated by the faculty members. It demonstrates that UAP has a
good policy regarding this matter.

Figure 8-11. Aspects of Evaluation related to Research.
Organizing Workshops/Seminars
Faculty members are involved in organizing seminars or workshops inside the university related to
Computer Science and Engineering fields.
8.3 Peer Observation

Peer observation means a process in which colleague or other nominated individual is invited to
observe one’s class or way of doing a particular job and give feedback. It’s an effective approach to
get useful insights to improve teaching capacity and quality. In some cases, it is very difficult to
identify one’s own mistakes and limitations. In that case, peer observation provides an opportunity to
learn from each other and to improve. It also helps experienced staffs to share good practices with the
new and relatively less experienced staff members. Such provision of mentoring is very effective to
develop the professional skills of young and newly recruited staff.
131
Though UAP does not have formal peer observation, but informal peer reviews through comments
and feedbacks on faculty and student research are received in abundance in different meetings,
seminars, workshops etc. and is very common practice in the university.
8.4 Career Development

Career development provides staffs with opportunities to build productive and satisfying careers
while contributing to the achievement of the university’s mission. Research publications
requirements, conducting workshops and seminars, attending national and international conferences
both home and abroad are ways of self-improvement and they encourage lifelong learning. It results
in increased job satisfaction, enhance capabilities and higher performance. UAP has a nice policy in
this regard. University always motivates it academic staffs for arranging workshops, seminars and
provides financial support for attending National and International Conferences.
8.5 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

Well-defined KPIs may act as a source of motivation and means to endure accountability of staff.
UAP believes that institution should not be confined to producing graduates in terms of quantity only,
rather, it should emphasize on producing graduates who will embrace national and international
recognition and provide significant contribution to socio-economic development. Similarly, academic
staffs should not limit their activities within self-development by research and publications only.
Rather, teaching efficiency should be measured based on student evaluation and peer observation,
contribution to skill development of the students, quality teaching learning.
University may use Teaching Performance Indicators (TPIs) and Research Performance Indicators
(RPIs) of the teachers as KPIs. UAP has the provisions of KPIs as follows.
Teaching Performance Indicators (TPIs)
The teacher evaluation for given below has been designed by University of Asia Pacific to seek a
feedback to strengthen the quality of teaching-learning environment and to look for opportunities to
improve teacher’s performance in classroom engagement with students to bring excellence in
teaching and learning. It also includes non-teaching performance.

RESEARCH AND EXTENSION
9.1 Research Policy and Program
University is not just a destination of knowledge dissemination; it is the center of knowledge creation.
The ultimate purpose of higher education is to equip with the knowledge and attitude that are
necessary to contribute towards the sustainable development and improvement of society as a whole.
Research lays the foundation of creativity and innovation. Through research, we can come up with
new ideas and solutions. These research findings widen our knowledge base and make the education
more practice-oriented and effective. Research forms a bridge between theoretical knowledge and its
real-world implications. Every country’s progress depends on the sustainability of its socioeconomic
growth and development. Creativity and innovation through research are critical in this respect.
Standard 8-1: University must develop capacity with appropriate facilities and provisions to
undertake research with national relevance and give due motivation and recognition to
researchers.
Department of Computer Science and Engineering (Department of CSE), University of Asia Pacific
(UAP) aims to contribute to society through the pursuit of education, learning, and research. CSE has
mandates, adequate resources, and opportunities for research. The department always encourages and
facilitates research among its faculties and students. Such research work includes:
Faculty Research
Research works carried out by the faculty members of Department of CSE focuses on addressing
and/or resolving the contemporary economic and management problems faced by the corporate world
or the society. In addition to performing teaching responsibilities, faculty members of Department of
CSE also involve themselves in doing cutting-edge research. To enhance the research expertise of the
faculty members, the department has a unit named “The Research & Publication Unit”.
The Research & Publication Unit arranges Seminar at least once in every month on various important
topics on Science & Technology. Also, Research & Publication unit publishes International Journal of
Computer and Information Technology (IJCIT). The first issue was published in August, 2010.
Research and Publication Club publishes a national Journal each semester named International
Journal of Computer and Information Technology (IJCIT), ISSN 2078-5828. The IJCIT only
publishes articles of the highest quality. It is scholarly, peer-reviewed journal that provides a forum to
143
the academics, scholars and advanced level students for exchanging significant information and
productive ideas associated with all Computer Science disciplines. It helps the students and faculty
members to improve their research capability producing quality computer professionals who can
make positive contribution in the development of this country. Most of the faculty members and
students of UAP are engaged to publish their researches at IJCIT.
IEERD (Institute of Energy, Environment, Research and Development)

Student Research
Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)
146
The Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) program consists of 162 credit hours spread in 69 courses and
project/thesis. These courses are compounded by major, minor courses and also a project and thesis
during the students’ final two semesters. Fourth year first semester and fourth year second semester,
these are the two semesters in which the students have 3.0 credits allotted in each for their
thesis/project work. Therefore, a total of 6.0 credits are allotted for their thesis/project in their
undergraduate curriculum. As a weight of six credit hours is allotted for the thesis/project, the grade
obtained in internship significantly affects the CGPA. During this period, the student works under the
direct supervision of a full-time faculty of the department. Students will work in groups or
individually to produce high quality software in deferent languages. Students will write structured
programs and use proper documentation. Every student submitting their project report has to appear
before a board consisting of at least three faculty members (including the supervisor). In the board,
the student has to present his/her internship project and face an oral examination by the board
members.
A list of selected thesis of students for the last three semesters (Spring 2016, Fall 2016 and Spring
2017) has been included in Appendix B.
Master of Science in Computer Science and Engineering (MCSE)
MCSE program is strictly applicable for Department of CSE bachelors or EEE bachelors with proven
efficiency in computer related subjects. This section describes common activities such as program
and semester duration, enrollment, class schedule, registration and evaluation policy applicable for
the program. Eligibility, program requirement, degree requirement and course list has been elaborated
for the program in subsequent sections.
A student enrolled as a full time may take a minimum of 6 credit hours and a maximum of 12 credit
hours in Fall or Spring semesters. For part time enrollment, the minimum 3 credit hours and
maximum 6 credit hours in the mentioned semesters will be allowed. In Summer semester both full
time and part time students may take minimum 3 credit hours and maximum 6 credit hours. Thesis
registration can only be done after completion of two semesters with completion of minimum 12
credit theoretical courses.
Although the thesis need not necessarily represent a contribution to fundamental knowledge, it must
demonstrate the student’s ability to identify and solve an acceptable problem in the area of computer
applications and to reflect the work in a document of acceptable literary quality. The appropriateness
147
of the topic is determined by the Board of Graduate Studies. At the conclusion of the thesis work and
report preparation, the student must prepare for the presentation of the thesis.
Fund and Facilities
Conducting a qualitative research requires time, sweat & blood, and money. Although there is a huge
scarcity of fund for research purposes all over the world, the problem is more acute in Bangladesh.
Some research requires survey on hundreds or even thousands of respondents. Collecting data from a
large sample often turns out to be a costly matter. Faculties also require training for conducting
innovative research. For training purposes, they have to participate in different workshops or training
programs organized by institutions from both home and abroad. Moreover, funding is necessary to
publish research papers in journals with good impact factor or to present the research work at
conferences organized by national as well as international institutions.

9.2 Research Fund

Central Research Fund
To promote research, the Institute for Energy, Environment, Research and Development (IEERD)
provides funding. IEERD is a central research and academic institute responsible for disbursement of
funding to academicians of various departments of UAP. IEERD has provision for funding of the
following research expenditures:
1. Publication charge for publishing research article in reputed journals.

2. Registration fee, transportation and accommodation cost for presenting research
outcomes in national and international conference / symposium / workshop / seminar /
meeting.
3. Expenses for conducting Research works at UAP.
In every fiscal year, each faculty is allotted a maximum budget of taka forty thousand, which can be
used for paying the aforementioned expenses.
It is the responsibility of IEERD to cater to the fund requirements of UAP for carrying out research
works. In the last fiscal year (2016-17), IEERD had a total budget of taka fifty lac. For funding
research projects, which involves significant cost, a faculty or a group of faculties with a valid
research proposal can apply to IEERD. For funding these projects, there is no stated floor or ceiling
on how much to allocate for each faculty or each department.
Paper publication Charge/ Conference Registration Fee Funding Process
Applications received from the Faculty members of the University in prescribed format with a copy
of the research Article, acceptance letter and payment receipt.
The scrutinizing committee of IEERD check the following information given by the Faculty.
1. Standard/Impact Factor of the Journal.

2. Whether the Journal has (digital object identifier) DOI
3. ISSN (online), ISSN (print).
4. Standard of the Journal Standard of the Conference.
The scrutinizing committee forwards the applications with necessary recommendations to the
Advisory Council of IEERD for approving the fund.
Evaluation Criteria/Process for Research Project Proposal
151
Project proposal received from the Faculty members in prescribed format will be initially evaluated
on the basis of the following criteria:
1. Project topic: Based on Real-world problems
2. Goals and objectives of the project: Applicant must clearly describe the goals and
objectives
3. Content: Applicant must include the problem analysis, methodology, practical
applications Outcome: Applicant must mention the expected results.
4. The applicant must demonstrate experience for implementing the proposed activities
5. The applicant must be capable in managing projects with funding from the University.
6. Previous experience in implementing projects with funding from NGO/ Government/ any
other sources.
7. Budget: Applicant must ensure that budget be relevant, appropriate with the specific
objectives of the project. The budget must be prepared in BDT. The scrutinizing
committee forwards the applications with necessary recommendations to the Advisory
Council of IEERD for approving the fund for the projects.
Research Facilities
Research cell of our department, The Research & Publication Unit, also facilitates research by
organizing meetings and sharing the knowledge gained by the faculties from their research or training
experiences. The unit blends the knowledge and opinion from faculties of different orientations (i.e.
machine learning, networking, image processing). A number of research papers came into existence
because of the knowledge-sharing cell. The research unit has been most instrumental for the newly
appointed faculties for starting their endeavor into the world of research.
Research Lab and Software Facilities
Department of CSE is equipped with a computer lab and circuit labs for catering research needs of
undergraduate or postgraduate students. The computers are equipped with the recent configuration to
run any research related software on them. The curricula of different programs incorporate courses,
which are designed to develop the analytical skills to work with the software packages.
Fund Hunting/Collection
Financial assistance is an intrinsic part of a research. IEERD, constituent research and academic
institute of UAP, is responsible for providing funds to carry out the research activities. To avail funds
from IEERD, a faculty has to apply towards the Director of the institute. Upon receiving the
application, a scrutinizing committee reviews the proposal carefully. If the application fulfills the
expectation, the scrutinizing committee recommends for approval and forwards the application to the
advisory committee. Advisory committee makes a final review of the research proposal. If the head
and the members of the committee are satisfied, they grant the financial assistance.
152
To secure financial assistance for training, seminar or workshop from the departmental facility, the
researcher has to apply to the head of the department. Upon receiving the application, the head
reviews the research proposal and recommends for approval to the Office of the Registrar. Whenever
applicable, the Office of the Registrar makes an evaluation of the proposal and grants the application
for funding.
Dissemination of Research Findings
Conducting a research will serve no purpose if its outcomes do not reach to the proper audience.
Dissemination of research findings is a critical factor for every researcher. Department of CSE has
always been taking initiatives to transfer the findings of the research to the relevant audiences. CSE
in its effort to reach out to the audiences has taken an initiative to publish an international standard
journal.

3.79 where near about 65% students agreed on the availability of well-defined research and
development policy. Alumni weighted response is 3.46 having around 50% positive feedback about
the point of interest.
Standard 8-3: University should have a system and policy to disseminate and transfer the
research findings to the industry and community through extension services.
While conducting the research, the faculty members of Department of CSE regularly interact with
each other regarding their work. While doing this, the faculty members share and learn from one
another, which helps them to get suggestions from a diverse group of researchers.
Department of CSE also organizes various seminars and workshops to disseminate the research
findings. Several veteran researchers from other institutions also join those programs. We also
invite people from the business world to participate in those programs. Business leaders and/or
representatives provide a pragmatic insight of the real- w o r l d situation. The research outcomes
also help the people from the industry to solve their problems or develop their organizations.
Knowledge is one of the few things that increase by sharing. Dissemination of the knowledge,
created through research, is also required to ensure the greater good of a country. Department
of CSE thrives for excellence and ingenuity in terms of research activities which can be significantly
noticed from the department’s research facilities and funding facilities.

CHAPTER X
PROCESS MANAGEMENT AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
10.1 Existing System for Quality Assurance
Continuous quality assurance is an intrinsic component of academic teaching. The diversity of social
demands, enhancement of higher education across the globe and demographic changes pose
challenges to the academics to come up with continuously innovative systems to impart knowledge.
For ensuring quality education, defining, developing, and improving processes of education systems
are imperative. This chapter describes the process management and continuous improvement
strategies applied and further incorporation needed at the Department of Computer Science and
Engineering (CSE), University of Asia Pacific (UAP).
Standard 9-1: University or the entity must have internal quality assurance system with set policies
and procedures for quality assurance.
The academic calendar is followed by the entity and the University in order to progress systematically.
Due to this systematic approach, faculty members, students, and administration can execute their
respective functions effectively and efficiently.
10.1.1 Admission Policy
CSE follows well-defined admission criteria for BSc program which include performance in
admission test, HSC & SSC and equivalent academic records. The rigorous admission procedure is
comprised of 1) Written test, 2) VIVA-VOCE conducted by a board consisting of faculty members
from different disciplines. The newly admitted students and parents/guardians are welcomed and
UAP introduced by the central authority through a grandeur orientation session. Following central
orientation, students participate in another orientation session in their respective department
organized and presented by the faculty members. Students are provided with a clear understanding of
their responsibilities as students and policies & rules regarding all necessary issues presented by
faculties.
10.1.2 Question Moderation Policy
An internal Question Moderation Committee comprising seven members from different disciplines
headed by a Convener follows stringent guidelines for moderation of question papers. The guidelines
are based on Bloom’s taxonomy is applied in assessing each question paper. The Convener of the
155
Moderation Committee holds the responsibility to expedite the moderation process and ensure that
guidelines and standards are met. All the faculty members are notified through emails to send a soft
or hard copy of the question paper by a stipulated date. Question papers are distributed by the
Convener among the moderators according to their specialty and requested to return by a designated
deadline after moderation. The moderated question papers are then returned to respective course
teachers to make necessary corrections if any. After receiving the corrected question papers
moderators once again check and return to the course teachers or to the Convener of Examinations.
The examiners and moderators are also required to submit separate templates to the Convener,
Moderation Committee, along with the finalized question papers.
The following factors are ensured by the moderators which lead to the consistency of fair assessment
of students.
1. Linkages between Learning Outcomes (LO) and questions

2. Coverage of materials included in the course curriculum
3. Appropriateness of question according to the standard of the course level
4. Application of theories in real life situation
5. Adherence to prescribed question format by the examiner.
6. Identification of grammatical errors or spelling mistakes
7. Appropriateness of marks distribution
8. Total marks add up to the percentage required for Mid-term or Final examination.
This uniformity leads to consistency of final assessment of students from level to level and promotes
bloom’s taxonomy among teachers for fair judgments of the course.
10.1.3 Examination Policy
UAP strives to maintain strict discipline in the examinations. The offenses and punishments are
clearly stated on the front and back of each answer script so that students are aware of the
consequences of any offense or misconduct. CSE has taken some additional measures, to further
facilitate smooth conduct of examinations (Appendix IV). The Examination Committee arranges seat
plan for all the exams in such a way that students from the same batch or any particular course do not
sit adjacent to each other. Further, the committee circulates roster amongst the faculty members of
invigilation well ahead of the examination date. The Examinations Committee devised a set of
guidelines for invigilation which is practiced regularly and also monitored by the Convener of
Examinations. (Appendix I)
156
10.1.4 Evaluation Policy
Towards the end of every semester, students evaluate each and every course instructor on-line by
filling up a structured questionnaire; providing information on teaching methods and evaluation
process of a particular course and respective faculty member. The advisors of each and every batch
along with the course instructors remind the students to participate in the evaluation process. Admit
cards for the final examination are not issued unless and until the evaluation forms are completed
online.
Guidelines for checking answer scripts have been developed by the Examination Committee, which is
followed by the examiner. Scrutiny is done by following the standard of the templates developed
(keeping the UGC standard in mind) by the department. The results submission administered by
automation procedure adheres to the strict deadline set by the central authority.
10.1.5 Internship Policy
With the view to expose students to the corporate scenario, the department has developed well
defined and clear internship guidelines. Every student is assigned an advisor according to his/her
specialization. The supervisor guides the internet all the way up to the defense of the report. All the
internship records/papers are well documented at CSE, UAP. There is a prescribed format for
Internship report writing which is available on the website. The report submission and defense dates
are notified in clear terms by the advisors. Different boards are formed consisting of 3 members
including the supervisor. Upon agreement by all the members of the defense, the final grade is
submitted to the CSE office for submission to the Controller of Examinations.
The conducted survey targeted the responses of the faculty members on the questions based on
Standard 9-1: "The entity always acts in compliance with the decision of the university regarding
continuous quality improvement". The survey result for faculty members stood at a point of 4.16,
where a point of 4 denotes "Agreed" and a point of 1 denotes "Strongly Disagreed". The survey
results confer the compliance of continuous quality improvement of the department.

Aspect of Evaluation Academics
The entity always acts in compliance with the decision of the university regarding 4.16
continuous quality improvement
Standard 9-2: The University or the entity conducts self-assessment following a cycle, develops a
strategic plan, identifies the limitations to implement the plan and adopts corrective measures for
attainment of desired quality.
Standard 9-3: The University or the entity continually and systematically reviews the effectiveness
of the procedures to meet the objectives.
Self-assessment works as a foundation for any university or entity to develop a strategic plan, identify
loopholes, take corrective measures and implement plans. In the process of quality improvement Self-
Assessment has the most crucial role to play as a guideline and to pave the way to overall
enhancement in the continuous improvement endeavor. Self-Assessment has been a preeminent
general issue for the university and for the department in particular. As a step towards continuous
assessment, the University has formed a body named Strategic Planning Committee (SPC) consisting
of …. members from the pool of Board of Trustees. The committee holds meeting every month to
assess, explore, and expedite strategies to keep up with the challenges of the industry. All the
departments of the university are bound to submit any developed strategies, ideas and thoughts to this
158
committee for approval. Upon approval of SPC, respective department acquires the authority to
implement the developed strategy (s) for improvement of the department.
CSE has come up with a short-term strategic plan from time to time. Followings are accomplishments
of some of the strategies that have led to continuous assessment and improvement of the department
to some extent. Access to Emerald and Pro Quest database are a click away for the use of CSE.
Faculties have participated in Training & Workshop programs in Singapore and India. A continuation
of the knowledge application from such programs, faculties are in the process of coming up with a
research paper in the near future. All the lectures are being delivered in English as per the decision
was taken in the short-term action plan. The revised curriculum after approval of the higher authority
was sent to UGC. The curriculum was sent back to CSE for minor changes and at present is being
evaluated by UGC for final approval. CSE website has been upgraded as planned. However, further
up gradation is in the process and will be an ongoing operation.
Filing of different papers, templates, documents is underway. From the beginning of the formation of
SAC, till-date the CSE has been arranging workshops, seminars, and discussion sessions on Outcome
Based Education (O.B.E), Self-Assessment (SA) and quality assurance improvement issues. To
ensure the quality of teaching and learning environment, the IQAC and CSE organize workshops for
academicians, non-academic staff, and messengers.
After approval of SAR by the Peer Review Panel, the path to improvement and concrete direction
towards the enhancement of the program will be underway. CSE will share the findings and feedback
of the Peer Review Panel with faculty members and explain the justifications for different steps that
will be imminent for the continuous improvement of the program. A systematic review approach at a
regular interval will be implemented to evaluate the success of the program.
To motivate and establish the need for continuous quality improvement Team Building Workshops
and Seminars will be administered for academic and non-academic staff. The Curriculum Committee
will play a vital role in changing and upgrading the curricula to meet the challenges and demand of
the business world today and education industry.
10.2 Improvement Plan

Upon review by the Peer Review Panel, CSE will prepare improvement plan and incorporate future
strategies based on SAR and suggestions offered by the panel. The findings based on secondary
information, experiences, observation and survey results will pave the way to meet continuous
159
improvement process. The stakeholder’s feedback will also help to pinpoint the areas where much
attention is needed.
The description of improvement areas, initiatives needed to ensure and enhance quality education will
be part of the Improvement Plan. The entity must acknowledge and understand that improvement plan
is developed for one-time use only, the rather quality assurance cycle is a continuous process and all
parties involved must engage, contribute and appreciate the outcome of this valuable venture.

CHAPTER XI
SWOT ANALYSIS
A SWOT analysis is a structured assessment of an institution’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities,
and threats. SWOT is an acronym that stands for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.
Strengths and weaknesses are internal to the company and can be changed over time with proper
strategies. Opportunities and threats are external dimensions and organizations have little control over
these factors; however, businesses must adapt and adjust to different situations by administering
applicable strategies.
Any organization can perform SWOT analysis at any time to assess a changing environment and
develop strategies accordingly. Thus, CSE decided to go through brainstorming sessions to identify
the factors affecting Department of Computer Science and Engineering in each of the four
categories mentioned above. After completion of brainstorming sessions, the entity finalized the
SWOT analysis by listing the factors in each category in order of importance as identified by the team
members.

167
11.4 Threats
Governance
 Satisfaction of students and faculties could be a threat if other institution provides better
governance.
 If the industry demand will not be fulfilled by the students’ competence level it will make a
huge threat for the department to have students.
Student
 Promotional strategies of other private universities are threat to get students.

 There is an overall decline in the education standard of prospective candidates hailing from
national curriculum based education.
 Uniqueness of other private universities will attract more students to them.
 Experienced senior faculty members are required to improve the quality of department
otherwise it is difficult to maintain with respect to the demand.
Staff and facilities
 Lucrative facilities should be offered because other private universities are having a very high
scale payment.
Physical Facilities
 Some of the private universities have already started their operation in a permanent
campus with full-fledged facilities.
 Other private universities are maintaining a very highly profiled alumni association which
enough strong to stay by the side of any hazardous situation.
Research and Extensive
 Other IT schools are emphasizing on industry exploration, CSE, UAP is lagging behind with
respect to them.
 Absence of funding from other organizations means other universities are getting more
benefits than UAP.
 Some of the private universities are already in the process of quality improvement system
which may gain them first mover advantage.

CHAPTER XII
CONCLUSION AND IMPROVEMENT PLAN
12.1 Improvement Plan
In any educational institution Self-assessment is one of the vital perimeter in order to understand the
effectiveness of any particular program. The current self-assessment is conducted for the Computer
Science (CSE) and Engineering program of University of Asia Pacific (UAP). This self-assessment
report (SAR) first presents an overview of UAP and CSE with a particular focus on the CSE program
– its vision and mission, program educational objectives (PEO), and program outcomes (PO), etc.
This is followed by a detailed enumeration and in-depth analysis of the nine dimensions that
encompass a holistic view of the entire teaching-learning process relating to this program. These
dimensions comprise governance, curriculum content design and review, student admission, progress
and achievement, teaching and learning, physical facilities, student support services, staff and
facilities, research and extension, and process improvement. The report is culminated by highlighting
the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) under each of these nine dimensions. In
order to elicit their opinions regarding these nine aspects and other relevant issues, five stakeholders,
namely, students, academics, non-academic staff, alumni and employers, were surveyed. A total of
three hundred and Fifty-five respondents participated in this study.
Moreover, regarding this SAR, a series of team building workshops and meetings were organized by
the department for conducting stakeholder surveys. In addition, to gather first-hand information on
pertinent topics and in preparing this SAR against the standard criteria as prescribed in the self-
assessment manual. All the faculty members extended their fullest support in this regard. The salient
features of the findings are highlighted below:
1. A major revision of the existing curriculum has been proposed taking into consideration of
the alumni and the employers. The updated curriculum is expected to be effective starting
from the semester of spring 2018.
2. A number of templates have been developed and used in setting exam questions mapping the
LOs and the six levels of cognitive domains of Bloom’s taxonomy, moderation of question
papers and the scrutiny of the answer scripts. Besides, individual course files are being
maintained in the department.
3. In order to facilitate faculty research and development, several steps has been taken by the
authority. Faculty members regularly conduct studies, publish articles in journals, and present
their papers in conference proceedings.
169
Strategic outline for the further improvement of the department:
A tentative sketch for the further improvement has been prepared but the deployment of this plan will
execute after the final peer review. The amelioration outline has been developed regarding the
analysis of standard criteria placed in chapter 1 to 10 and in the following chapter the SWOT exercise
is presented. Here it is need to mention that based on the priority the immediate improvement will be
undertaken. However, many important improvements will follow only after certain changes are made
within the University framework and have not been drawn here.
Improvement Plan (next five years):
1. Develop course objectives for courses of each semester and improve assessment
procedures as per Academic Council (AC) decision.
2. Plan to improve library and laboratory facility including support staff.
3. Link curriculum/syllabus where necessary and set up an update plan.
4. Approval of several new courses related to interdisciplinary studies.
Long Term (beyond10 years):
1. Add class room and common room facility.

2. Recruit multi – disciplinary and highly qualified faculty.
3. Improve library and laboratory facilities including support staff.
4. Some activities have already been initiated to meet short term plans. The means that can
be deployed to achieve various intended learning or program outcomes have also been
identified in consultation with the faculty.
Dissemination of Vision & Mission of the Department
The department has set forth its vision and mission statements in the curriculum. However, various
stakeholders, i.e., students, staff and all the faculty members must embrace and own these well-
articulated vision and mission statements.
Periodic Review of Curriculum
Although a major revision of the existing CSE curriculum has been underway, and the updated
curriculum is expected to be effective from Spring-2018, the department would need to pay attention
to the periodic review of the curriculum. This is mainly due to the constantly shifting industry
demands and the emerging societal needs.
170
Faculty Research & Training
Conducting research and publications by the faculty members is a key ingredient. Not only should
they perform their teaching responsibilities, faculty members must also involve themselves in cutting-
edge research. In this regard, it is of utmost importance that they continuously hone their research
skills so that they can publish in journals with high impact factor. Besides, the department needs to
arrange faculty training, both local and oversea, in areas of research methodologies and/or other
pedagogical issues on a continuous basis.
Placement Cell
A well designed and functional placement cell can work as the bridge between the university and the
industry to usher a long term beneficial relationship. To this end, the entity intends to establish an
active placement cell with enthusiastic and efficient personnel to facilitate the students’ internship
placements leading to their permanent jobs.
Alumni Database
The entity plans to develop and maintain an alumni database containing updated and sufficient
information. This database will be instrumental in building an immense network of the former
students who could be great resources for professional contacts, industry expectations, changing
trends and so on.
Suggestions Box
The entity looks forward to opening a suggestion box for the students to gather their insights, issues,
concerns and suggestions to improve them.

COLLABORATIVE PROGRAMS
I. With National Research Laboratories Membership of National and
International Bodies
Several Departments of UAP have been accredited by relevant professional bodies of the
country and International Institutions; e.g.
 Institute of Architects (IAB)
 Board of Accreditation for Engineering and Technical Education (BAETE), Bangladesh
 Institute of Engineers Bangladesh (IEB)
 Pharmacy Council of Bangladesh
II. International Organizations/Laboratories/ Institutions
UAP enjoys collaborative ties with a number of reputed foreign and national Universities,
institutions of higher education and research in foreign countries, such as
 USA: The University of Baltimore, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, South
Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Purdue University, De Vry University, etc. UAP is
currently running 3+1 degree programs i.e. students can complete their first three years at
UAP and the final year in one of these universities. They can be awarded the degree from
either of these institutions, which indicate the quality of teaching and research at this
University.
 Canada: The University of Windsor
 Australia: The University of Western Sydney, University of Canberra
 Ireland: Griffith College of Dublin
 Japan: Port and Airport Research Institute (PARI), Japan Concrete Institute (JCI). Under
these collaborations, the first batch of BBA students completed graduation at The University
of Baltimore and a large number of CE students completed research programs at Port and
Airport Research Institute (PARI).
III. Industry-Institution Interaction
We have got the Spectrum Engineers Consortium and Plasma Plus involved with us. Similar
articulation with some other organizations is still underway. This collaborative effort will include
training students, guiding students' projects and industry-related suggestions to be incorporated while
developing programs and curricula. The above organizations have come up with their suggestions and
training programs. To enhance the quality of education even further, Department of CSE of UAP has
established an Industry-Academia Collaboration with QUBEE, Augere Wireless Broadband
Bangladesh Ltd (AWBBL). As part of the collaboration, following activities are performed by the
two parties on a regular basis:
1. UAP-CSE visits selected Hub Sites, Aggregation Sites and Access Sites with the
final year students as part of a one-day long Industrial Tour (twice in a year). A
representative from QUBEE demonstrates the practical side of the theoretical aspects.
2. UAP-CSE invites QUBEE delegates in some of the Networking and Security related
seminars, workshops and conferences organized by UAP.
3. Network and Communication Research Group (NCRG) of CSE Department is
conducting research on real-life, industry-oriented problems. QUBEE will share
necessary relevant information, if any. The outcome of the research can be accessed
by both parties.
4. BdOSN and University of Asia Pacific has arranged Data Science related Workshop
and Seminer concentrated on Big Data Porcssing and Distributive Computing.
205
5. Leveraging ICT for Growth, Employment and Governance is a Project of Bangladesh

Computer Council (BCC) under the Ministry of Posts, Telecommunication and
Information Technology. The Project has been launched in January 2013 aiming to
develop a Vibrant and Healthy Information Technology (IT) and Information
Tecnology-Enabled Services industry in five years by identifying the strategies,
programs and investment needed for the county to leverage ICT for economic groth
and competitiveness. In UAP LICT course program started in 2014 and still running.
To enhance the professional training Department of CSE of UAP has signed MoU with EATL (ICT
organization) on 20th January 2014. Purpose of the MoU is to render support, services and solutions
in the field of Mobile applications training, development and R&D support with the participation of
students of the university under guidance of the faculty members and management of the university.
EATL will carry out the following activities:
1. Provide professional training on various topics necessary for a successful mobile
application development in Android and IOS platform.
2. Coordinate with the faculty and team members (students) to track the progress of the
project and provide support where necessary.
3. Provide support for improving user interface (UI) and user experience (UX), so that
the quality of the application is assured.
4. Provide feedback from users and expert to further upgrade the quality and acceptance
in the market.
SOME IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT UAP
 UAP is the first Bangladeshi private university to have the membership of the Association of
Commonwealth Universities, UK.
 In fact, the Pharmacy and Civil Engineering Departments of UAP were the first among
private universities to earn such accreditations. UAP graduates are therefore eligible to be
members of professional bodies like Institute of Engineers Bangladesh (IEB), Institute of
Architects Bangladesh (IAB), Pharmacy Council, and several of them have already earned
their memberships in these prestigious bodies.
 Moreover, UAP is a Member of American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham), University
of Asia Pacific Region, The Association of Universities of Asia and the Pacific and
International Association of University Presidents (IAUP).
