3.5.6 Student Exchange Programme
The Student Exchange Programme (SEP) provides an
opportunity for students to study at more than 160
universities in 32 countries. These include premier
institutions in North America, Europe, Asia and
Australia. Please refer to:
http://www.eng.nus.edu.sg/sep/universities.htm for a list
of partner universities available to Engineering students.
SEP offers students exciting opportunities to get fresh
perspectives on the subjects that they study, to
experience foreign cultures and to forge friendships
across borders. They gain maturity, confidence,
independence and an ability to work with people of
different cultures. Some students will also get a chance
to develop new language skills that may serve them
well in future careers.
Students are normally selected for SEP during Year 2
and embark on exchange for a semester during Year 3.
Students design their own study plans by selecting
modules offered by partner universities and mapping
them to equivalent modules offered at NUS. The grades
achieved while on SEP are not included in the CAP
calculation.

Programme, please visit: http://www.eng.nus.edu.sg/sep
4. Undergraduate Education (Part-time
Programmes)
4.1 Bachelor of Technology Programme
4.1.1 Overview
From AY2010/11, the Faculty of Engineering offers parttime
programmes leading to the degree of Bachelor of
Technology (Honours) [i.e., B.Tech. (Hons.) degree] in:
• B.Tech. (Chemical Engineering)
• B.Tech. (Electronics Engineering)
• B.Tech. (Industrial & Management Engineering)
…235…
• B.Tech. (Manufacturing Engineering)
• B.Tech. (Mechanical Engineering)
These part-time programmes are specially designed and
primarily meant for diploma holders from the local
polytechnics who wish to study for a high-quality
engineering degree without having to leave their fulltime
jobs. These courses are specially designed for such
students to prepare them to better meet the challenges
of a knowledge-based economy. The academic standard
at graduation of the B.Tech. degrees are meant to be
on par with that of the Faculty’s well established fulltime
B.Eng. degrees. The B.Tech. courses follow closely
the curriculum of the B.Eng. courses and makes use of
the same high quality teaching staff and teaching
facilities.
4.1.2 Admission Requirements
The minimum requirement for admission to any of the
B.Tech. courses is a relevant diploma from a local
polytechnic, or equivalent local/foreign qualifications. In
considering an applicant’s suitability for admission,
factors considered include:
• Performance in the diploma course.
• Relevance and length of work experience.
• Company sponsorship.
• Other evidence of post-diploma academic preparation
including the advanced diploma and any other
mathematics and foundational engineering courses.
Applicants may also be required, by the committee on
admission, to sit for admission tests to determine their
suitability in coping with the demanding B.Tech.
courses.
4.1.3 Curriculum Structure and Degree Requirements
The structure and design of the B.Tech. courses are
based on that of the four-year full-time B.Eng. courses
offered by the Faculty of Engineering. However, unlike
other engineering degree courses which cater primarily
to students admitted with GCE ‘A’ Level qualifications,
the unique feature of the B.Tech. Programme is that
the curriculum structure and design of the modules are
specially tailored to suit the needs and background of
polytechnic graduates holding relevant full-time jobs in
industry. This is possible because all its students would
have a polytechnic diploma, or its equivalent, and
working experience when they are admitted. As such,
although almost all the upper-year modules are identical
to those of the full time B.Eng. courses, the modules in
the earlier years are somewhat different and are
specially designed to cater to the different needs of the
B.Tech. students.
The B.Tech. curriculum structure follows the normal 160
MCs four-year full-time programmes. As all students
admitted into the B.Tech. Programme must have the
minimum of a recognised polytechnic diploma, all
students are granted, upon admission, advanced
placement credits of 40 MCs, which is equivalent to one
year of the four-year full-time courses. These include
a) 8 MCs of University Level Requirements (ULR),
b) 20 MCs of Programme Requirements, and
c) 12 MCs of Unrestricted Elective Modules (UEMs).
