Dr. Asanka Pallewatta

Currently Dr. Asanka is working as a senior lecturer (Grade I) at Gampaha Wickramarachchi University of Indigenous Medicine; the sixteenth state university in Sri Lanka. He is also serving as a consultant in Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), and has introduced TPM as a professional subject in Technology curricula in Sri Lanka. With Dr. Asanka’s expertise in Learning Centred Education and education pedagogy, he has designed two complete degree programmes: BHSc (Hons) in Biomedical Technology, and BHSc (Hons) in Health ICT. Both the degree programmes, now functioning very successfully, were designed and UGC approval obtained within one year; which is a great feat.
