Programmes & Courses



BACHELOR OF ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY (BETech)

There are two different Bachelor of Engineering Technology (BETech) programmes:- Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Electrical/Electronics) and Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Mechanical/Manufacturing). Both programs have the same admission regulations, and have prescribed sets of courses plus a practical work experience component. As well as the BETech, students interested in Engineering can take Engineering Technology (again, including a practical work experience component) as one major in a Bachelor of Science double major programme.

Admission Requirements:

Persons are eligible to be admitted to study for the Bachelor of Engineering Technology if they have:

  1. admission with standing, or
  2. passed a Senate-recognised Form 7 or equivalent  examination, and in that examination have passed English and either chemistry or technology, and have 60% (or equivalent) in both mathematics and physics.

Programme Requirements:

The Bachelor of Engineering Technology degree consists of:

  1. 24 courses, of which eight are at 100-level, eight at 200-level and eight at 300-level as listed below plus
  2. EE200 or MM200 which is not a taught course but an industrial attachment component.

Courses for Electrical/ Electronics:

Year I: EE102, UU114, UU100, MA111, MA112, MM101, MM103, PH102

Year II: CS211, EE211, EE212, EE224, EE222, EE223, MA211, MA272 plus EE200 (industrial attachment)

Year III: EE300, EE301, EE321, EE312, EE313, EE314, EE323, MG306

Courses for Mechanical/ Manufacturing:

Year I: EE102, UU114, UU100, MA111, MA112, MM101, MM103, PH102

Year II: CS211, MA211, MA272, MM211, MM212, MM221, MM222, MM223 plus MM200 (industrial attachment)

Year III:EE312, MG306, MM300, MM301, MM311, MM313, MM314, MM323.

Engineering Technology Industrial Work Experience

All students enrolled in the BETech and BSc (Engineering Technology major) degrees are required to complete a minimum of 10 weeks of work experience. This experience is a compulsory part of both programs and students who do not meet this requirement will not be allowed to graduate. The aims of industrial work experience are to give students an appreciation of the responsibility of technical personnel in a workplace and some exposure to industrial practice and technology. It is preferred that the work experience, which must have good technical content, be carried out after the end of Year II. It is the student’s responsibility to find a suitable employer, however the School of Engineering and Physics will assist where possible. A report about the student’s industrial work experience must be submitted to the School of Engineering and Physics for assessment as soon as possible after the completion of the 10-week period.
