Higher National Diploma in Engineering (HNDE) is a public institute in Sri Lanka mainly focused on higher education. Since 1986 the Higher National Diploma in Engineering (HNDE) program has been the pioneer in producing incorporated engineers for the local and international industry.
History
[edit]In 1985 the National Technical Teachers Training College (NTTTC) and Technical education unit of the Ministry of Education conducted a survey on the workforce. It was found that the ratio of chartered engineers to middle level engineers should be 1:3. However, according to the statistics it was 1:5:20. As a proposal the UK-based HNDE was introduced to Sri Lanka and which It was modified with Advanced Engineering Theoretical concept and Communication skills to suit modern-day industry and the course was extended for three and one-half years duration, including its six-month in-plant training period, with the approval of the Bolton University and funded by the ADB.[citation needed]
On 30 October 1990, the HNDE was gazetted as a parallel course to other Engineering diplomas in Sri Lanka. After a year, on 11 December 1991, the HNDE course which was at Rathmalana NTTTC, was affiliated to BTEC under registration number 78/981. On 17 August 1994 , HNDE was transferred to the ministry of labour and vocational training from the ministry of education and higher education. However, on 1 May 1996 HNDE was connected with the Sri Lanka Institute of Advanced Technological Education, which was mainly under the ministry of education & higher education. On 12 December 1996 the institute celebrated its 10th anniversary. [citation needed]
