BEng students are required to read ES1531 Critical Thinking & Writing. Alternatively, students can read ES1501X Academic Expository Writing.
USP/UTRP/RVRC students should refer to their respective programmes for USP/UTRP/RVRC modules to be read in place of ES1531.
2
Students who have not passed or been exempted from the Qualifying English Test at the time of admission to the Faculty will have to read ES1000
and/or ES1103. This will be decided by CELC. ES1000 carries zero (0) MCs but students will have to pass in order to graduate while ES1103 carries 4
MCs to be used to fulfil the UEMs.
3
For BEng students who are from direct poly intake and in the following special programmes: DDPs, CDPs, E-Scholar & CSP, industrial attachment is
optional and the modular credits for the industrial attachment will become ‘Free Electives’ i.e., Unrestricted Electives (UE).

Note:
 For students with Diploma related to Environmental and Water Technology from Singapore Polytechnic or Ngee Ann
Polytechnic will be exempted from ESE3001 Water Quality Engineering (4 MCs) but will be required to take CE1101A
Civil Engineering Principles & Practice (4 MCs).

 Polytechnic graduates admitted into BEng programmes with the 6‐month (10 MC) Industrial Attachment requirement, may
take the 3‐month internship (6MC via EG3602) and/or ‘Free Elective’ modules in lieu of the 10 MC for the Industrial
Attachment.

 Polytechnic graduates have to read MA1301 except those who have successfully completed all modules/courses in special
Math programmes (such as the "Certificate in Engineering Mathematics", "Diploma Plus Programme in Advanced
Engineering Mathematics" & etc) offered by their respective Polytechnics. Students can send their certificates to FoE
Undergraduate Office if they are exempted from MA1301, before registering for MA1301.

 Students should not read more than 60 MCs of Level-1000 modules towards their degree requirements (minimum of 160
MCs for graduation), excluding CFG1010 Roots and Wings – Personal and Interpersonal Effectiveness 1.0 (2 MCs), ES1103
English for Academic Purposes (4 MCs), Modules under the Design-Your-Own-Module (DYOM) initiative. For Polytechnic
graduates, 12 MCs of the exempted UE modules will not count towards the 60 MCs limit on level-1000 modules.
