All BTech students are granted, upon admission, advanced placement and exemptions of 40 MCs. Students
are admitted directly as a Stage 2 (Year 2) student but they are still required to take a minimum of 120 MCs
of modules and achieve a CAP of at least 2.0 in order to qualify for the BTech degree. Student will see the
reflection of this 40 MCs exemption on their result slip but they do not count towards the 120 MCs.
A module with module code MExxxxE is equivalent to the module MExxxx offered to the full-time students.
Subject to the approval from the Director of BTech, a student may select a full-time equivalent module in
place of any MExxxxE module.
Subject to the approval from the Director of BTech, a student may select up to two level 3 or higher modules
from other programmes within the Faculty of Engineering.
One-semester 6-MC module involving a design-and-built project.
Manufacturing Engineering degree (student to do 3 out of total 5 electives).
Mechanical Engineering degree (student to do 3 out of total 5 electives).
An elective course may not be offered if there is not sufficient number of students opting for that course at
any particular time.
