LOCATION OF THE NELSON MANDELA AFRICAN INSTITUTION OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

MAP OF THE TENGERU CAMPUS

1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Overview The Nelson Mandela African Institution of Science and Technology in Arusha (NM-AIST) is one in a network of Pan-African Institutions of Science and Technology located across the continent. These institutions, which are the proud brainchild of Nelson Mandela, envision training and developing the next generation of African scientists and engineers with a view to impacting profoundly on the continent’s development through the application of science, engineering and technology (SET). The NM-AIST, which is accredited by the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU) is being developed into a world class research intensive institution for postgraduate and postdocs studies and research in SETI. The training in SETI, however, incorporates appreciable doses of relevant business studies and humanities ingredients. Thus the training curricular also incorporate strong innovation and entrepreneurship features, and hence strong academiaindustry relations are part of the NM-AIST’s development agenda. NM-AIST’s curricular also seek to accommodate, enable, stimulate and catalyze the innovation and entrepreneurship qualities inherent in the Y-generation for the benefit of SSA’s sustainable development. 1.2 Rationale of establishing NM-AIST Over the past two decades or so, one of the important lessons learned by the global community from the successes of the newly developed countries, particularly in East Asia, is that significant investment in science, engineering and technology (SET) capacity building through educational excellence is a critical prerequisite for sustainable economic and technological development in any nation. It is increasingly being recognized that the weakness in the technological capability of African countries is one of the factors affecting their ability to harness their abundant natural resources for socio-economic development. In the 5th African Ministerial Conference on Science organized by NEPAD held from 12th – 16th December 2012, the Ministers recognized that “Science and Technology will play an important role in Africa’s efforts to eradicate poverty, achieve food security, and fight diseases”. There is keen awareness that human resources are required to operate and maintain industries, build infrastructures, increase agricultural productivity and provide other valuable services. The contribution of SET in general, and research and training institutions in particular, is now widely recognized as being of critical importance in efforts to attain SDGs and transform Africa’s economies. Neglect of SET has created a critical gap between each country’s needs and its ability to meet them since few public resources have been allocated for the same and, as a result, the research base has declined or failed to grow. Production of published papers is minimal in science and engineering. Within Africa graduate education for sciences and engineering has not developed, and talented researchers have looked outside the country for work resulting in a considerable brain drain of talents. This self-reinforcing process drains researchers and technical personnel from firms and the public sector, further weakening the position of SET in the continent. It is a fact that currently, there exist deficiencies in highly qualified human resource in the SET sectors in Africa. The launching of the Master’s and PhD degree programmes at NMAIST will contribute to address the deficiencies through advanced SET components to provide solutions to needs and problems of the society and industry. 10

1.3 Vision and Mission The vision of NM-AIST is to become a world-class institution dedicated to the pursuit and promotion of excellence in Science, Engineering and Technology, and their applications for economic growth and sustainable development. NM-AIST is to deliver and promote high quality and internationally competitive teaching and learning, research and innovation, and public service in Science, Engineering and Technology leveraging on entrepreneurship for enhanced value addition to people and natural resources, with a view to stimulating, catalyzing and promoting economic growth and sustainable development in Tanzania and Sub-Saharan Africa.

3.4 Transfer of Credits 3.4.1 Overview A student is permitted to transfer to the NM-AIST, credits equivalent of not more than 50% of all the credits for Master’s or PhD programme of the respective University Qualification Framework (UQF) level coursework taken at another recognized academic institution or NMAIST. The transfer must include a verifiable recommendation from Programme Coordinator of the originating university and an official transcript indicating completion of the coursework and must be endorsed by the Dean of the relevant School at NM-AIST for transmission to Senate approval. The number of credits and grades earned for a transferred course will be included in calculating Grade Point Average (GPA) and Cumulative Grade point Average (CGPA) of the student. Credits to be transferred shall have been earned within a period not exceeding five years from the time of application. 3.4.2 Guidelines for Transfer of Credits The guidelines on credit transfer including the operational definitions and scenarios of credit transfer are detailed below:

23

3.4.2.1 Operational definitions The following are the definitions of key terminologies regarding credit transfer adopted in these guidelines: (a) Credit is a measurement unit for ‘notional’ or ‘average learning time. The notional learning time includes all the activities which the learner is expected to undertake in order to achieve the learning outcomes. A credit in the University Qualifications Framework (UQF) equates to learning outcomes achievable in 10 hours of learning time determined on the basis of a learner with an average learning speed. That is, a credit equals 10 notional hours. (b) Credit transfer refers to the process by which learners may transfer credit value(s) from one programme to another, both programmes belonging to the same institution or from one learning environment to another i.e. involving programme of two different institutions having received recognition for knowledge, skill or competence acquired. This may occur within a programme of study, across programmes in an institution, between institutions within a single country or on an international basis. (c) Credit accumulation is the process of achieving credits over time in relation to a planned programme of study. 3.4.2.2 Scenarios of Credit Transfer There are two possible scenarios to be considered in the transfer of credits as outlined below: (a) Transfer of course credits in a programme of the same University Qualification Framework (UQF) level within NM-AIST. (b) Transfer of course credits in a programme of the same UQF level from another Institution to NM-AIST. 3.4.2.3 Guidelines on Credit Transfer The following guidelines which are organized under different themes shall provide guidance on credit transfer at NM-AIST: (I)

Role of NM-AIST as the receiving institution shall be:

(a) To ensure that course content of the transferred course is at least 75% similar to that of the NM-AIST course. (b) To scrutinize the course to assess whether the mode that was used to deliver it has significantly contributed to skills, knowledge and competences required to be achieved by NM-AIST graduate. (c) To confirm that the Higher Education Institution from which a student wants to transfer credit is a University with full accreditation by a recognized body in the country assigned to deal with such. (d) Matters and the accreditation status of the Institution shall be independently verified by NM-AIST and the Tanzania Commission for Universities (TCU). If in doubt, NM-AIST reserves the right to give any applicant a performance verification test or reject the application. 24

(e) To confirm that courses with credits for transfer have been accredited by the Commission and/or another national accreditation body. (f) To ensure that all applications are scrutinized by relevant School/Department before transmitting to DVC-ARI for approval. (g) To ensure that, once a course has been accepted as being equivalent to the NM-AIST course as per these guidelines, the course shall be given the same name and number of credits as that of the course on delivery at NM-AIST regardless of the credits in the other University, School/Faculty/Department. (h) To ensure that the conversion of grades is done by anchoring the pass mark of the other University to that of NM-AIST and accordingly determining the range of marks in the other University for the NM-AIST grades. In cases where only grades and not scored marks are available, the lower equivalent grade shall be assumed. (II) Role of releasing institution shall be: (a) To facilitate transfer of credits of a student and providing necessary information on the student and the course/programme. (b) To provide the amount of time that the student spent on supervised and unsupervised workload which aimed at achieving learning outcomes. (c) To provide detailed transcripts recording the credits and grades awarded to the student. (III) Role of the student shall be: (a) To understand that a core subject, course or module in the releasing Institution/School/Faculty/Department may not necessarily be a core subject, course or module in the receiving Institution/School/Faculty/Department and vice versa. Credits for programme and specialty core courses are not transferable. (b) To ensure that he/she possesses an active degree programme registration at his/her current institution/School/ Department. (c) To ensure that credits for which transfer is requested have been obtained within a period of not more than five years. (d) To undertake at least 50% of degree programme credits at NM-AIST. The maximum credit allowable for transfer, therefore, is 50% of the required credit of NM-AIST degree programme. (e) To apply in writing, for credit transfer to the Deputy Vice Chancellor for Academic, Research and Innovation through the Dean of respective school and attaching copies of all required supporting documents which include: official transcript, letter of introduction/recommendation from the previous university, course description, catalogue or syllabus to include number of hours of teaching, method of assessment and grading system, an official translation of the original documents (in case of non-English documents); photo-attached personal identification documents e.g. Birth certificate, passport or ID, certified copies of the original certificates used to gain admission into the previous university. (f) To apply for credit transfer within two weeks of registration after getting approval from Department/School that the course applying for transfer shall be offered in a respective academic year.

Courses in the School of Business Studies and Humanities are designed to enable students develop attributes necessary for them to excel in academic and industry management and leadership that befits today’s knowledge society, and which Africa needs to develop in order to leapfrog to prosperity. PhD students are required to explore the frontiers of knowledge that may lead to new discoveries and innovations. They will thus, be required to take some courses that will expose them to these frontiers as well as prepare them for their research. It is also expected that some of the PhD students will be deployed as teaching assistants with a view to supporting senior academics and enabling them to develop their teaching skills and hence prepare for future careers in academia. 27

3.6.2 Graduate Seminars and Dissertation/Thesis 3.6.2.1 Graduate Seminars All students shall be required to attend and participate in a series of graduate seminars that will be organised by respective Departments to provide them with an inter- and multidisciplinary perspective in their areas of study. Seminar presentations may be given by visiting faculty, resident faculty, industrialists, and distinguished members of the international scientific community. As part of the degree requirements, the Master’s and PhD students registered for coursework and dissertation at NM-AIST must attain 20 and 24 credits from graduate seminars, respectively before graduation. Students registered for Master’s and PhD by research and thesis shall attain 24 and 40 credits, respectively from the graduate seminars. 3.6.2.2 Research and Dissertation Upon approval of a research proposal, each student will proceed to conduct research and subsequently write and defend the dissertation/thesis to qualify for the degree award. The research and dissertation/thesis work are intended to enable students to deepen their understanding of the subject matter and come up with new knowledge and/or solutions to the problem(s) identified in the proposal. 3.6.3 Mapping of Courses for Master’s and PhD by Coursework and Dissertation 3.6.3.1 Master’s Programmes Master’s programmes by coursework and dissertation at NM-AIST are designed to take 4 semesters. The coursework is concentrated in the first two semesters and precedes the research for dissertation work, which commences in the third semester. In essence, the last two semesters are wholly reserved for the research and dissertation writing. Graduate seminars are held throughout the 4 semesters and participation shall be compulsory. Table 3 (a) shows the indicative mapping of Master’s courses and their respective weights in credits.

3.7 Life Sciences and Bioengineering (LiSBE) Programme Clusters The School of Life Sciences and Bioengineering (LiSBE) will offer two degree programmes at Master’s level and one Programme at both Master’s and PhD level: (i) Master’s and PhD in Life Sciences (LiSe) (ii) Master’s in Bioengineering (BioE) (iii) Master of Science in Public Health Research (MSc PHR) The programmes are designed to bring together engineering and biological sciences in as deep-seated a manner as possible. Stated broadly, the programmes will educate students to use engineering principles in the analysis and manipulation of biological systems to solve problems across a spectrum of important biological applications. Accordingly, in the Master’s programme, the curriculum emphasizes basic concepts as well as particular applications. By learning to advance both engineering and biological knowledge, coupled with relevant business and humanities ingredients, it is anticipated that both Master’s and PhD graduates, though at different levels, will be well prepared to spearhead developments in academia and industry related to health, agriculture, food, biodiversity, bioengineering and other emerging fields based on bio-technological developments. The Life Sciences and Bioengineering programmes offer unique opportunity for graduates to become not only top-notch scientists or academicians, but also business managers and technopreneurs, due to well-structured curricula, combining both, biological and engineering knowledge on one side, and business and humanities concepts, on the other. It is anticipated that graduates of these programmes will be well prepared for leadership careers in academia and industry. Examination Regulations at LiSBE Examination regulations will be in accordance with NM-AIST General Examination Regulations for Master’s and PhD programmes (Refer Chapter 6). 3.7.1 Life Sciences (LiSe) The Life Sciences programme at NM-AIST has been designed with multiple specializations specifically, to address the challenges created by the diversity and complexity of living systems and address real-life problematic challenges that affect livelihood of the people in the Sub-Saharan region. The Master’s and PhD programmes in Life Sciences (LiSe) are open to candidates who possess minimum qualifications in relevant science and engineering backgrounds as stipulated in the NM-AIST admission and registration requirements. Graduates of these programmes will possess knowledge on how to use biological principles to solve problems across a spectrum of important life science applications. After the mandatory common and programme core courses, students who will be admitted into LiSe programme may specialise in one of the following areas: (i) Health and Biomedical Sciences; (ii) Sustainable Agriculture; (iii) Food and Nutritional Sciences; and (iv) Biodiversity and Ecosystems Management. 30

3.7.3

Master of Science in Public Health Research

The Master of Science in Public Health Research programme is intended to fill the gap of public health researchers who are scarce in Tanzania and the region at large. It is well documented that most of the University curricula in Africa have relatively poor coverage of practical research training even at the postgraduate level. Furthermore, traditional curricula in most universities in Africa do not foster innovation, entrepreneurships and soft skills. There is also limited link to industry. As a result, scientists in the field are left to cope with challenges of implementing their research with neither sufficient preparation nor a framework to address practical hurdles by themselves. Moreover, there is a general lack of opportunities for training to refresh or sharpen skills after graduate qualification. The unprecedented investment into research on diseases of poverty in the recent years has led to a sharp increase in collaborative research and in the number of clinical and field trials targeted at understanding the epidemiology and development of interventions against major diseases. Inevitably, there is a rise in research studies being implemented in Africa, against a background of relatively few well trained scientists at study sites. In line with the NM-AIST philosophy, and the outcome of the Research Training Market Analysis, the programme aims to address critical gaps that exist within the conventional training programmes in subSaharan Africa. After the mandatory common and programme core courses, students who will be admitted into MSc PHR programme may specialise in one of the following areas: (i) Determinants of Health and Diseases; (ii) Interventions Research; and (iii) Implementations and Health Systems Research; With the approval of the respective Department, students may choose elective courses from a prescribed pool of courses and/or some core courses from within and/or outside MSc PHR. 3.7.3.1 Programme Outline for Master of Science in Public Health Research by Coursework and Dissertation A list of courses for the Master of Science in Public Health Research programme is provided below in terms of course ante, name and credits.

The Mathematical and Computer Sciences and Engineering (MCSE) cluster leverages on a deep background in mathematical modelling with exceptional breadth in traditional science and engineering fields. Mathematical and Computer Sciences and Engineering plays a pivotal role in the development of these disciplines, hence the rationale for developing a coherent package of mathematics and computer science courses that will lay the ground work for cutting edge research in and application of mathematical skills and knowledge, to apply the same in modelling and simulation of the components of real-life challenges for real-life solutions. Mathematical and Computer Science and Engineering (MCSE) is an interdisciplinary programme created to foster computationally intensive competencies for research and graduate education in the sciences and engineering. The aim of this programme is to produce experts in scientific computing who will be able to work as part of interdisciplinary research and/or industry teams which may be charged to thrash out some complex societal or industrial problems. Students in these programmes will be trained in the state-of-the-art numerical methods, use of software development tools, and in the application of these techniques to at least one scientific or engineering area. After the mandatory common and programme core courses, students who will be admitted into these programmes will specialise in one of the following areas: (i) Applied Mathematics and Computational Science. (ii) Computer Science and Engineering.

With the approval of respective Departments, students may choose elective courses from a pool of prescribed courses and/or some core courses from within and/or outside MCSE. 3.8.1.1 Programme Outline (I) Programme Outline for Master’s in Mathematical and Computer Science and Engineering by Coursework and Dissertation A list of courses for the Master’s degree in Mathematical and Computer Science and Engineering programme is provided below in terms of course ante, name and credits.

3.9 Water Resources and Environmental Science and Engineering (WESE) Programme Clusters The Department of Water Resources and Environmental Science and Engineering (WESE) under the School of Materials, Energy and Water and Environmental Science offer Master’s and PhD by coursework and dissertation and by research and thesis degree studies in the following two programmes: (i) Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering (HWRE) (ii) Environmental Science and Engineering (EnSE) The Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering, and Environmental Science and Engineering programmes offered at NM-AIST aim to develop and strengthen human resource and institutional capacity in impact-oriented training and research in the two broad areas as an entry point to sustainable management of land, water resources and the environment. The training is designed to equip students with technical know-how that will address problems related to agriculture and the management of water resources for food security and improved livelihoods. The former incorporates a course in Integrated Water Resources and Sanitation Management emphasizing inter-disciplinary knowledge, and promoting broad perspectives and awareness in water resources management issues. Students learn how to coordinate the management of physical resources and systems dependent on these resources through strategic planning, policy making and multi-stakeholder decision-making processes. 3.9.1 Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering (HWRE) Programme Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering covers both fundamental principles and theory, and their applications in a variety of science and engineering fields. Elementary fluid mechanics, based on fundamental principles of conservation of mass, and the energy and momentum principles, is the logical core for all water-related science and engineering programmes. Consequently, specialties in water related engineering, such as hydrology, water resources, groundwater, environmental engineering, irrigation, drainage, geotechnical engineering, and watershed science, incorporate fluid mechanics. After the mandatory common and programme core courses, students who will be admitted to this programme will specialise in one of the following areas: (i)

Hydrology and Climate Studies

(ii)

Water Resources Engineering and Management

(iii) Irrigation Engineering. (iv) Water Supply and Sanitation The Hydrology and Climate Studies specialisation will add academic strength to the student in both the theoretical and applied aspects of modern hydrology. These range from climate modeling, rainfall processes, floods, droughts, terminal lake analyses, soil erosion, surface (stream) hydrology, water quality models to groundwater hydrology, and contamination characterization and rededication. Water Resources Engineering draws principles from hydrology, fluid mechanics, hydraulics, environmental engineering, economics, ecology and other fields in the design and operation of projects and non-structural methods for water resources planning and management. Students will need a sound understanding of (i) how water storage, delivery, and other management systems function; (ii) the criteria used in evaluating and selecting among

62

alternatives; (iii) the techniques of operations research that can be used in system design; and (iv) the institutional aspects of decision-making in the public sector. Students in Biological and Irrigation Engineering will be educated in the application of engineering principles to support useful plant life, with minimum degradation of soil and water resources. The primary objective is to understand soil, water and plant relationships, and how they can be applied to better manage natural resources in the production of food and fiber. It encompasses the design, evaluation, and management of on-farm agricultural water application methods, including surface, sprinkler, and trickle systems, as well as the design, operation, and maintenance of water conveyance and delivery systems. The programme also focuses on irrigation scheduling and crop water use topics, with strong ties to other academic programmes, particularly the Life Sciences and Bioengineering. 3.9.1.1 Programme Outlines (I) Programme Outline for Master’s in HWRE by Coursework and Dissertation A list of courses for the Master’s degree in Hydrology and Water Resource Engineering programme is provided below in terms of course ante, name and credits.

3.9.2 Environmental Science and Engineering (EnSE) Programme The Environmental Science and Engineering (EnSE) Programme provides practical education for tomorrow's environmental problem solvers. The programme is especially designed to provide students with the skills and insight to solve complex environmental problems. Today's environmental professionals need scientific, engineering, and policy skills to translate the available collective resolve and resources into effective environmental solutions. The EnSE programme is designed to train environmental scientists and engineers in an interdisciplinary manner. After the mandatory common and programme core courses, students who will be admitted into this programme will specialise in either of the following areas: (i) Environmental Science (ii) Environmental Engineering. The Environmental Science specialization provides the fundamentals and applied training in the applications of chemistry and biology to environmental problems and systems, including lakes, rivers, groundwater, and engineered processes, and development of alternative environmental-friendly technologies. This specialization is intended primarily for students with undergraduate degrees in biological and physical sciences. The Environmental Engineering specialization provides an advanced study on the fundamentals, design, and operation of biological, physical, and chemical treatment processes. Applications include treatment of wastewater and hazardous wastes, development of strategies to improve the quality and safety of drinking water, and management and minimization of solid wastes. 3.9.2.1 Programme Outline (I) Programme Outline for Master’s in EnSE by Coursework and Dissertation A list of courses for the Master’s degree in Environmental Science and Engineering programme is provided below in terms of course ante, name and credits.
