General Overview
|
The part-time Bachelor of Engineering (Electrical & Electronic Engineering) degree is designed for those with polytechnic diploma or equivalent qualifications who would like to further their studies on a part-time basis while continuing to work. The part-time students take the same examination as their full-time counterparts and receive the same BEng degree in Electrical & Electronic Engineering, which is wholly recognized by reputable professional institutions such as The Institution of Engineers, Singapore (IES), The Singapore Professional Engineers Board and The Institution of Electrical Engineers (IEE) of the United Kingdom. Students are taught by the full-time Professors of the University. The normal period of study is 5 years. Students may be allowed to complete the course in not less than 4 years and in not more than 8 years (inclusive of any periods of approved Leave of Absence). The courses are conducted in the evenings from 7.00pm to 10.00pm on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. The New B. ENG (EEE) Curriculum In the new knowledge-based economy, engineering has become increasingly multi-disciplinary. To better prepare our graduates for this new environment, the University has embarked on a major effort to further broaden the undergraduate curriculum. The aim is to produce engineers who are flexible across disciplines; who are not constrained by the boundaries between traditional disciplines but are able to apply their knowledge and skills to lead multi-disciplinary teams to solve increasingly complex problems; who are able to apply existing technologies in novel ways and to create new technologies for the future. The new EEE curriculum focuses on broad-based training to provide flexibility of career choices and nurture lifelong learning. It strikes a judicious balance between breadth and depth to provide a solid foundation in the physical sciences and mathematics on one hand, and comprehensive training in electrical & electronic engineering on the other. Courses in the humanities and social science such as communication skills and management further broaden the training beyond the purely technical aspects of engineering, so as to better prepare our graduates for positions of management or to start up new companies on their own. First and Second Years Curriculum In the first and second years, courses on Engineering Mathematics are included to strengthen the foundation for more advanced study in electrical & electronic engineering. Other core fundamental electrical & electronic engineering courses such as Circuit Analysis, Electronics, Data Structure, Signals & Systems and AC Circuits & Machines are introduced to provide a broad background for all areas of electrical & electronic engineering. In addition, students undertake 2 courses of laboratory experiments to provide the necessary grounding in the practical skills required of engineers. Courses on Basic Engineering Mathematics and Foundation Physics are provided for Polytechnic Diploma holders to ease their transition into the degree programme. They are also required to read the Physics II course to better prepare them for the other courses in electrical & electronic engineering. In the third year, basic principles which underpin a broad spectrum of technologies encompassed by the area of electrical and electronic engineering are taught. These include core courses on Electromagnetics, Integrated Electronics and Microprocessors. In addition, students select 2 elective courses from a list of more specialized courses in preparation for more in-depth specialization in their final years. Fourth and Fifth Years Curriculum In the final years, students are given the flexibility to select their prescribed elective courses under 3 broad groups, namely Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering and Infocommunication Engineering. They may select any 2 design elective courses and at least 3 technical elective courses from one of the groups and one more technical elective courses from any group. However, students who prefer a more in-depth study can select the courses from one of six areas of specialization, namely
In addition to the elective technical courses, all students are required to take compulsory courses like Human Resource Management and Engineers & Society. Conversion From Part-Time to Full-Time Programme After four semesters of part-time study, students may be allowed to convert their candidature to full-time study. Consideration for conversion is on a case-by-case basis and students who convert to full-time study are not permitted to revert to part-time study.
