The students spend the first year in the School of Natural Sciences and then come to Engineering in second year when they do a General Engineering programme. Specialization begins in third year as indicated for each department.
First Year
- Mathematic Methods
- Introduction to Physics
- Cell Biology and Genetics
- Introduction to Chemistry
General Engineering
- Statistics and Introduction to Mechanics of Materials
- Principles of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
- Engineering Communication
- Introduction to Information Technology
- Engineering Workshop Technology
- Engineering Mathematics I
- Engineering Drawing I
- Properties of Engineering Materials I
Note: Upon successful completion of the Second year, students are allocated quotas of their choice. When a particular quota is full, a cut-off point is used to select students based on their performance in all the Second year courses. Therefore, some students would have to take their second, third, fourth, or even fifth choice. The courses in the various programmes are given below:
Third Year
- Engineering Mathematics II
- Surveying
- Principles of Data Acquisition and Processing
- Data Representation and Visualizations
- Land Management I
- Land Management II
- Soil Science, Roads, Hydrology and Civil Engineering
Fourth Year
- Engineering Mathematics III
- Highway Engineering
- Geodesy I
- Image Processing and Analysis
- Numerical Methods and Programming
- Spatial Modelling and Analysis
- Engineering Surveying
- Engineering, Management and Entrepreneurship
- Industrial Training I (Compulsory)
Fifth Year
- Geodesy II
- Geographic Information Infrastructure
- Project
- Construction Management
- Integrated Mapping
- Engineering, Management and Society
- Industrial Training II (Compulsory)

- All copies of certificates submitted with the application must be certified true copies.
- To pursue studies in any of the above five offered engineering specializations requires a two-stage process:
- Firstly, admission into the School of Engineering (as a second year student) and secondly, being allocated a quota/specialization of choice into third year student after successful completion of previous academic year (general engineering). Since the School has limited places for engineering education, all second year students are subjected to competition. Applicants with a Diploma or higher level qualifications are allocated their preferred engineering specialization directly at second year level according to a fixed allocation in each specialization. The guidelines for the two stage admission into the School of Engineering and specialization in any of the five branches are detailed as follows:
- School of Natural Sciences students:
- The School of Engineering makes recommendation for the required number of students who can be taken up via this category (Engineering quota). At the end of the first year of study in the School of Natural Sciences, students make preference to come to School of Engineering. Since the number of students in this quota is fixed, the cut-off point is determined by the required number of students and the performance in that particular academic year of study. On average, this category enrolls about 100 students into the School of Engineering.
- Entry requirements for Diploma (or higher qualification) holders:
- At least a credit or better in Five ‘O’ levels in mathematics, English and an acceptable science subject
- At least a credit or better in Diploma (Technologist) or higher qualification in a relevant technical field and
- At least one (1) year of proven and relevant working experience after graduation with a Diploma. A letter from the employer showing proof of the relevant working experience must be attached.
- Entry requirements for 'A' level holders
- At least three (3) ‘A’ passes (grade of C) with at least a pass grade ‘B’ in either Mathematics or Physics.
- For holders of City and Guilds qualifications, the Diploma is taken to mean level 4 (Full Technological Certificate, Full Technological Diploma or Advanced Technician Diploma).
- Attainment of at least a credit in “O’ level Mathematics and in an acceptable Science subject.
- Attainment of at least a credit or better in the Diploma (Technologist) in a relevant technical field. For holders of City and Guilds qualifications, the diploma is taken to mean Level 4 (Full Technological Certificate, Full Technological Diploma or Advanced Technician Diploma).
- At least one (1) year of proven and relevant working experience after graduation with a diploma. A letter from the employer showing proof of the relevant working experience must be attached.
