Numerical Code
For the engineering and technology courses, the following numerical codes are used.
 The first digit indicates the level of difficulty.

 The second digit indicates the course groups.
For common courses, the above codes do not apply.
The numbers after each course (e.g., 3(3-0-6)) represent the credits, lecture hours, laboratory/practice hours, and self study hours,
respectively.
Prerequisite / Corequisite Requirements
