Separate programmes are provided in each year leading to degrees in Civil Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Energy, Process and Chemical Engineering* and Architecture.
* The BE (Hons) degree programme in Process and Chemical Engineering is offered jointly by Engineering and Food Science and Technology.
Entry Requirements
Minimum entry requirements and specific programme requirements for Engineering are detailed in the General Information section of the University Calendar, here.
It is highly desirable that candidates applying for admission to First Engineering programmes should previously have studied Chemistry and Physics. Separate pass and honours programmes are not prescribed for students in Engineering.
Modules
All Engineering programmes are defined in terms of modules. Modules are measured in terms of credits. A module may correspond to 5, 10, 15 or 20 credits. Each year of a degree programme consists of modules to a total value of 60 credits.
In modules which include practical work - assessed continuously or by examination, or both - candidates must satisfy the examiners in this aspect of assessment, as well as in written examinations. The examiners will take into account the work done by candidates during the year as shown by the certified records of their work. These records such as laboratory notebooks, reports, designs etc. must be submitted for inspection as and when requested. If any work assigned to a student for Semester 1 and/or Semester 2 is not completed during these Semesters to the satisfaction of the Professor/Lecturer concerned, the student will not be allowed to enter for the University Examination concerned.
Module descriptions are contained in the Book of Modules, 2015/2016.
Elective Modules
The right is reserved not to offer any particular elective module listed in the Regulations. An elective module can be given only if teaching staff for that module is available and the module is selected by an adequate number of students, as determined by the Head of the Department concerned. The number of students selecting certain elective modules may, with the approval of the College, be limited. Details are given in the relevant module descriptions. Students may not select modules which involve a timetable clash.
Change of Module
Students wishing to register a change of module must do so via the Student Portal or at the Student Records and Examinations Office no later than two weeks after the start of each Semester, i.e. by Friday, 18 September 2015 (Semester 1) or Friday, 22 January 2016 (Semester 2). Semester 1 modules cannot be changed in Semester 2. No changes in registration will be allowed after these deadlines.
Selection of Modules
The selection of any module by a student is conditional on the Professor or Lecturer concerned and the College being satisfied that he/she is capable of profiting by attendance thereat.
