may also get a taste of working with diverse cultures, and develop a global outlook when doing the internship overseas. With this, interns could also get opportunities for employment by companies upon graduation. Students are therefore strongly encouraged to plan carefully to incorporate Industrial Attachments or Vacation Internships into their study plans. The credits earned under these two programmes will be used to satisfy UEMs and these are on Satisfactory/ Unsatisfactory (S/U) basis (refer to Section 3.1.3). For more information on these Enhancement Programmes, please refer to Section 3.4. 3.1.2 General Degree Requirements To be awarded a Bachelor of Engineering degree, students must: i. Satisfy the Modular Credit (MCs) requirements of their specific B.Eng. degree programme, ii. Obtain a cumulative average point (CAP) of 2.00 or higher, iii. Pass the requisite English for Academic Purposes module(s) by the fourth semester (only applicable to students who fail to meet the exemption criteria based on the Qualifying English Test (QET) results), and iv. Fulfil all the above within a maximum candidature of five years, unless otherwise approved by the University. Students are advised to take careful note of the degree requirements. It is the students’ responsibility to understand their graduation requirements and plan their course of study appropriately. Important announcements related to curriculum updates will be placed at the Faculty of Engineering’s website at: http://www.eng.nus.edu.sg/ugrad/ and in the websites of the student’s respective departments. The class of honours awarded to a candidate who completes the Bachelor of Engineering degree requirements will be based on the cumulative average point (CAP – see section 3.1.3) of all modules completed at all levels as given in Table 3.1.2. Table 3.1.2: Relationship between CAP and Honours Classification Class of Honours CAP Cut Offs First Class Second Class Upper 4.0 to 4.49 Second Class Lower 3.5 to 3.99 Third Class 3.2 to 3.49 Pass 2.0 to 3.19 Fail Below 2.0 4.5 and above, plus at least an ‘A minus’ in the Final Year Project …190… 3.1.3 Other Academic Matters Exemption Policy for Polytechnic Graduates Polytechnic graduates who are admitted into the B.Eng. programmes may receive up to 40 MCs of module exemptions from the following list. a) Up to 8 MCs from University Level Requirements (ULR): one General Education Module from Group B (Humanities & Social Sciences) and one Breadth module b) Up to 12 MCs from Unrestricted Elective Modules (UEMs) c) Specific exemptions of up to 20 MCs from programme requirements comprising one or more modules as determined by the student’s department on a case-by-case basis. Some of these exemptions would only be granted subject to the student passing advanced placement tests. For specific exemptions, please approach your department. All polytechnic graduates are required to sit for the Qualifying English Test (QET). Math Bridging Module for Polytechnic Graduates Polytechnic graduates are required to read the Math bridging module MA1301. Those who have gone through special/advanced Math programmes, subject to the approval of the Faculty, would not have to read MA1301 and can proceed to MA1505 Mathematics I, a compulsory Math module for all engineering students. Physics Bridging Modules for Polytechnic Graduates and GCE ‘A’ Level Students without H2 or H1 Physics GCE ‘A’ Level students without H2 or H1 Physics are required to read the Physics bridging modules (PC1221 and PC1222). Polytechnic graduate students may also be required to read Physics bridging modules and should check with their respective departments for details. English Requirement ES1000 Basic English and/or EG1471 English for Academic Purposes (Engineering) must be taken by students who have not passed or been exempted from the Qualifying English Test (QET) at the time of admission to the Faculty. There are no MCs assigned to this module, but a pass is required for the award of the degree. Students are strongly urged to complete EG1471 in the first semester so that they can proceed to read EG1413 Critical Thinking and Writing in the second semester of the first year of study. Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory option The Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) option is intended to encourage students to pursue their intellectual interests, without undue concern that exploring a new subject area may affect adversely their CAP. For modules graded on an S/U basis, students will receive credit towards the degree only if they attain a ‘Satisfactory’ (S) grade. An ‘S’ grade is assigned if a student receives a ‘C’ grade or above for the module. Conversely, students will receive an ‘Unsatisfactory’ ‘U’ if the grade obtained is lower than a ‘C’ grade. The S/U option, once exercised, will be irrevocable for the module. Up to 12 MCs may be taken on an S/U basis during a student’s candidature, subject to the maximum number of MCs that may be excluded from the computation of CAP.
The S/U option is not applicable to modules taken to meet Faculty, Major, Second Major, Minor, or University Scholars Programme (USP) requirements. Credits earned from modules taken on an S/U basis may also not be used to count towards the residency requirement. Students will exercise their S/U option after the results are announced for any module that permits the S/U option. Assessment of Modules Each module is assessed by coursework and/or short tests during the semester and/or a formal examination at the end of the semester. Some modules such as research or design projects are assessed as specified by the department. Up to 40% of the final grade may be assigned to continuous assessment (CA), and may be higher for certain modules. Students are not allowed to repeat modules they have passed (grade D or better). If they fail a module, they can retake the failed module in a subsequent semester. There are two types of grading options: • All modules taken on graded basis will count towards the Cumulative Average Point (CAP). The CAP is computed for all modules taken using the point system given in Table 3.1.3a and the MCs of the modules taken. The CAP is computed as follows: CAP = (∑ MC i x GP i) / (∑ MC i ) where MCi is the number of Modular Credits (MCs) for the i-th module and GPi the grade point (refer to Table 3.1c) of the i-th module. • Modules taken on Satisfactory/Unsatisfactory (S/U) will not count towards CAP. For a module to be awarded S, the student must achieve grade C for the module. Modules with grades that are lower than grade C will be considered as U. Table 3.1.3a: Relationship between Grades and Points Grade Grade Point A+ 5.0 A A- 4.5 B+ 4.0 B 3.5 B- 3.0 C+ 2.5 C 2.0 D+ 1.5 D 1.0 F 0 For a module taken on S/U, a student will receive credit only if he attains a Satisfactory grade. …191… Stage Promotion A student will be deemed to have progressed to the next stage of his study if he has obtained the stipulated MCs as shown in Table 3.1.3b. Table 3.1.3b: Stage Promotion Criteria (for single degree students) Stage 2 Completed at least 36MCs Stage 3 Completed at least 76MCs Stage 4 Completed at least 112MCs ( *IA credits are not included.) CAP for Continuation and Graduation To graduate, a student must have a minimum CAP of 2.0. To remain in good academic standing, and to continue in an undergraduate programme of study, a student may not have: • CAP below 1.5 for two consecutive semesters; or • CAP below 2.0 for three consecutive semesters. For any semester in which the student’s CAP falls below the CAP required for graduation (i.e. 2.0), the student will be issued a warning. If, in the following semester, the student’s CAP again falls below the graduation requirement, but not sufficiently to warrant immediate termination of candidature (i.e. 1.5 ≤ CAP < 2.0), the student will be placed on probation. If the student’s CAP falls below 1.5 for two consecutive semesters, or remains below 2.0 for three consecutive semesters, the student will be issued a letter of dismissal by the Registrar, and denied re-admission. Limit on Level-1000 Modules Students should not read more than 60 MCs of Level- 1000 modules towards their degree requirements (minimum of 160 MCs for graduation). For Polytechnic graduates, 12 MCs of the exempted UE modules will not count towards the 60 MC limit on level-1000 modules. Minimum MCs per Semester The minimum number of Modular Credits (MCs) per semester to be read by students is 15 MCs. Maximum candidature The maximum candidature for the: • B.Eng. (Hons) degree is five years;, and • Double Degrees involving the B.Eng. (Hons) is six years. 3.1.4 First Year of the Engineering Degree Programme Some students are admitted to the common engineering programme while others are admitted into specific disciplines in the first year. In the first year of study, common engineering students will be required to read: ‐ MA1505 Mathematics I ‐ MA1506 Mathematics II ‐ CS1010 Programming Methodology (will be mapped to IT1005/CE2409 for students who enter Civil/Chemical Engineering) ‐ At least one physics module (either PC1431 Physics IE or PC1432 Physics IIE) and ‐ At least two engineering modules from MLE1101 Introductory Materials Science and Engineering, GI FASS BIZ SoC FoD SDE FoE NGS FoL YLLSoM FoS USP DUKE-NUS LKYSPP YSTCM TI Others
