PRE-ENGINEERING YEAR (= 19BPEN) (NSSC-O ENTRY LEVEL)

Eligible candidates will be admitted into a Pre-engineering Year in which they will mainly study the basic sciences, i.e. physics, chemistry, mathematics, statistics and computer skills, as well as English communication and study skills, English for academic purposes and contemporary social issues. On successful completion of the Pre-engineering Year, students will be admitted into the First Year of Bachelor of Science in Engineering.

NOTE

The first year of study (Pre-Engineering Year) is for eligible NSSC-O and NSSC-H candidates, or equivalent qualifications. NSSC-H candidates with a score of 2 or better in Mathematics and Physical Sciences and a score of 3 or better in English shall register directly into the First Year of Engineering.
Students doing the Pre-Engineering year should normally have passed all the Science and Mathematics modules within one academic year in order to proceed to the First Year of Engineering.
Students who do not pass the Pre-Engineering Year may register with the Second Year of B.Sc. (Science) upon satisfying all the Faculty of Science requirements. Alternatively, they may change the discipline altogether.
First year students from the B.Sc. (Science) programme who have an average of at least 65% in their first year science and mathematics modules may be considered for admission into the First Year of Engineering if places are available. Such students must do TEGT3421 Fundamentals of Engineering.
