To be admitted to the First University Examination in Engineering, a student must have satisfactorily attended, subsequent to admission to the programme, prescribed modules to the value of 60 credits as follows:
Core Modules
Students take modules to the value of 50 credits:
AM1021 Mechanics I (5 credits)
AM1022 Mechanics II (5 credits)
CE1005 Engineering Computation and Problem Solving
(5 credits)
CM1001 Chemistry for Engineers (5 credits)
MA1011 Mathematical Methods for Engineers I (5 credits)
MA1012 Mathematical Methods for Engineers II (5 credits)
ME1001 Engineering Materials (5 credits)
PE1006 Professional Engineering Communication and Ethics (5
credits)
PY1006 Physics for Engineers II (5 credits)
PY1007 Physics for Engineers I (5 credits)
Elective Modules
Students select two of the following modules:
CE1003 Engineering Structures (5 credits) (introductory module for the BE (Hons) Civil programme)
EE1005 Electrical and Electronic Systems (5 credits) (introductory module for the BE (Hons) Electrical and Electronic programme)
NE1001 Introduction to Energy Engineering (5 credits) (introductory module for the BE (Hons) Energy programme)
PE1003 Introduction to Process and Chemical Engineering (5 credits) (introductory module for the BE (Hons) Process and Chemicalprogramme)
While the choice is completely free for registered Engineering [CK600NPF] students and does not impact on their choice of programme for second year, students should note the role of these elective modules in providing introductory perspectives to the four degree programmes that will be chosen in second year, and thus support their informed choice. Progression to second year of a student's chosen degree programme is possible without the corresponding introductory module of the First year.
Examinations
Full details of regulations governing Examinations for each programme will be contained in the Marks and Standards 2016 Book, and for each module in the Book of Modules, 2015/2016.
Three Year Rule
Students must pass the First University Examination in Engineering within three academic years from the date of first registration for First Year. Failure to comply with this rule would mean that the student would be ineligible to proceed further with his/her studies. Exceptions to this rule may be granted by the College, only for very serious reasons.
