From 2018/19 students enter First Year Engineering and complete a common programme of study. In Second Year students enter separate programmes leading to degrees in Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering, Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Energy Engineering and Process and Chemical Engineering.

NOTE: Students who entered Third Year of the BE (Hons) prior to 2018/19 will continue to Fourth Year of the BE (Hons). Students entering Third Year from 2018/19 may at the end of Third Year register for the BE (Hons) / ME Pathway. Students who choose not /are not eligible to register for the BE (Hons) / ME Pathway will continue to Fourth Year of the BE (Hons).

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:

AM1021 Mechanics I (5 credits)
CE1003 Introduction to Structural and Civil Engineering (5 credits)
CE1005 Engineering Computation and Problem Solving (5 credits)
CM1001 Chemistry for Engineers (5 credits)
EE1007 Introduction to Electrical and Electronic Engineering (5 credits)
MA1011 Mathematical Methods I (5 credits)
MA1012 Mathematical Methods II (5 credits)
ME1002 Engineering Thermodynamics (5 credits)
NE1001 Introduction to Energy Engineering and Engineering Ethics (5 credits)
PE1003 Introduction to Process and Chemical Engineering (5 credits)
PY1006 Physics for Engineers II (5 credits)
PY1007 Physics for Engineers I (5 credits)

Examinations

Full details of regulations governing Examinations for each programme will be contained in the Marks and Standards 2020/2021 Book, and for each module in the Book of Modules, 2020/2021.

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.

On successful completion of First Year - Engineering (CK600) students enter Second Engineering and proceed to a BE (Hons) Degree in one of: Civil, Structural and Environmental; Electrical and Electronic; Energy; or Process and Chemical.

The quotas for entry to the various degree programmes in Second Engineering are:

Entry to each degree programme at the start of Second Engineering will be subject to selection by the School of Engineering. All students are guaranteed entry to one of their first two choices of Engineering programme. In filling the quotas, preference will be given to those students passing the First University Examination in Engineering at the Summer Examination in the first year of registration for the First University Examination in Engineering, in order of merit of the overall aggregate mark for the year. Remaining places will be filled in order of merit, without distinction as to when the examination was completed.
