The Department of Civil Engineering, University of Moratuwa, successfully organized a Workshop on Curriculum Reforms and Accreditation Requirements for the BSc Civil Engineering Programme, followed by the annual Staff Retreat 2025/2026, as part of its continuous efforts to enhance academic quality and programme development. The workshop focused on key areas such as modernization of the curriculum, incorporation of modern tools into teaching, Programme Outcome (PO) mapping, and evaluation of Learning Outcome (LO) attainment. The sessions were interactive and practice-oriented, enabling staff members to actively engage in discussions and group activities aligned with accreditation requirements.
Building on these initiatives, the staff retreat provided a broader platform for re-imagining curriculum delivery and strengthening departmental strategies. The programme included group presentations on innovative teaching approaches, improvements to core modules, and strategies to attract high-calibre students to Civil Engineering, alongside discussions on ethics, quality, and future directions. The retreat fostered a strong sense of community, with staff members’ families in attendance and a range of activities organized to promote social harmony and team cohesion, thereby creating a well-balanced environment for both professional engagement and collaborative interaction.
