1 Preamble

1.1 A Brief History

The Department of Electrical Engineering launched its Part-time Degree programme (PT-BEng (Hons)) in 1992/93, modelled on the Full-time BEng (Hons) programme. The PT-BEng (Hons) degree was introduced as a 3-year programme with an intake comprising mainly graduates of the 2-year Higher Diploma Programme from the Polytechnic University. In view of the general recommendation from the Engineering Council conveyed to the University, the PT-BEng (Hons) programme in EE was subsequently converted into a 4-year programme, with Higher Certificate (HC) as the minimum entrance qualification, in 1993/94. Due to the increasing demand of the PT-BEng (Hons) programme in EE, the Self-Financed Part-time Degree programme (SF PT-BEng(Hons)) in EE was introduced in 2004/05. This SF PT-BEng (Hons) programme in EE has exactly the same curriculum and level as the UGC funded PT-BEng (Hons) programme in EE except the funding model. In 2005 all programmes offered by the university underwent a major revision with the introduction of outcome-based curriculum and criterion-referenced assessment. The total number of credits was changed from 72 to 66 in order to give a study effective programme. In 2007, a minor revision of the curriculum was made and the number of credits was reverted to 72. In 2008, the curriculum was fine-tuned to align with the revised programme outcomes. The programme and subject outcomes will be assessed in stages according to a Learning Outcomes Assessment Plan (LOAP) adopted by the Departmental Learning and Teaching Committee. In 2009, minor changes in the curriculum were made and new General Assessment Regulations of the University were adopted.

1.2 Credit-Based Curriculum

The part-time programme is designed to produce electrical engineering graduates at the same academic standard, quality and classification levels as the full-time programme. It follows essentially its full-time counterpart in adopting a credit-based structure, which was a natural development of the semester structure at the inception of the Part-time programme. This entire modular proposal successfully passed an internal re-validation in February 1995. The programme was also accredited by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers, Hong Kong, and the Institution of Electrical Engineers, U.K., in 1995. The programme as set out in this document includes some minor amendments in the curriculum in order to conform to the University-wide regulations on credit-based programmes. In a credit-based programme students are able to determine their own pace of study which is very much in line with modern educational philosophy. Students will be able to make up a specific programme to suit their personal aspirations within the framework of the PT-BEng (Hons) curriculum. Being flexible there is no ‘year’ concept in a credit-based system and the subjects are offered at distinct levels. The subjects in Level 2 must be taken by all students in the BEng (Hons) programme although some subjects can be deferred until later. Electives become available in Levels 3 and 4. However, students must take a compulsory set of subjects which are designed to give vertical integration in electrical engineering studies. Elective subjects in Level 4 address the career aspirations of graduates and advances in technology. With the introduction of the credit-based structure, many of the subjects in the Full-time BEng (Hons) programme will also be made available to the SF PT-BEng (Hons) students. The Department recognises that it is desirable for the specialist subjects in Level 4 to have common

examination papers for both the FT-BEng (Hons)/MEng and SF PT-BEng (Hons) students in order to ensure uniformity in the Honours standard. In addition to those shared subjects, specific subjects tailored to the SF PT-BEng programme are also included in the curriculum, particularly for Level 2, as the background of the intakes is heterogeneous. The subjects are listed in Table 7.1.1 to 7.1.4, and a typical student progress pattern is illustrated in Table 7.2.1 to 7.2.4.

2.6 External Recognition

This part-time degree programme has been internally validated by the University. It is also accredited by The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) as meeting the academic requirements for its Corporate and Graduate Membership.

3 Philosophy of the Programme The programme aims to fulfil the needs of the majority of graduates who will spend their working lives in Hong Kong industry engaged in operation, development, design, manufacture, marketing, maintenance, building services and management. Therefore, considerable thought and effort has been given to determine what industry expects of degree graduates. The programme also aims to address the development of the next generation of academic research workers, but this goal is of secondary importance. Bearing in mind that engineers may change activities and also employment during their careers, education to prepare students for working life, rather than their first job, is the aim. Emphasis is therefore placed on the understanding of fundamental concepts which will always be applicable and valid. However, the teaching of particular techniques which have a shorter duration of applicability cannot be neglected either. Applications will change rapidly as technology develops but the underlying theories remain invariant. It is therefore important not to emphasise training at the expense of education. It is our perception that industrial employers want engineers to have a broad-based education, but at the same time to have adequate specialist knowledge to undertake detailed technical work in design and production. Therefore, the programme is designed to produce graduates who have not only developed a thorough understanding of electrical engineering, including interdisciplinary aspects, but who have also acquired a broad and general appreciation of engineering activity outside the confines of electrical engineering. The students are guided to learn the interfaces between specialist engineering areas and to be prepared to work in a multidisciplinary work environment which usually includes colleagues with other engineering backgrounds. At the same time the students must become aware that ‘a good engineering solution’ is one which fulfils economic and financial criteria as well as the engineering design specification. This necessitates the study of economics and management with particular reference to engineering activities, as well as the interrelation between engineering activities and society as a whole. Engineers must be able to express themselves clearly, both in verbal and written communications, therefore the Department has adopted a teaching approach which involves seminars, discussions, in-class feedback, assessed presentations, demonstrations of project work and formal laboratory reports in all programmes offered. The Undergraduate Programme Committee also recognises that it is important to train and educate our students not only in cognitive ability in technical areas but also in life skills. Hence students are exposed to situations where they are assisted to learn:

- to develop their intellectual abilities (creative thinking, critical/independent judgement making, ability to analyse and synthesise, and to cope with real-life conditions such as indeterminacy, lack of information and time pressure); and

- to develop their social abilities (personal and public relations, team work, handling of

responsibility/authority, etc). In this undergraduate programme, the knowledge required to bridge between that of the Higher Certificate holders to that of the first half of the Full-time BEng (Hons) programme is covered in Level 2, the core knowledge areas are covered in Level 3 and specialisms are introduced in Level 4. All the deferrable subjects must however be completed before any student can graduate and students must not be under the illusion that deferrable subjects are unimportant. The credit-based structure described in this booklet has been discussed extensively at both the Departmental level and Programme Committee level, and both committees reckoned that the students will benefit from such a structure as the subject materials could be disseminated better and in greater depth.

4 Programme Objectives The programme objectives are given as below: 1. To produce students with a broad base of knowledge in the fundamentals of electrical

engineering and its current applications. 2. To prepare students for working life including the skills needed for lifelong learning. 3. To produce engineers with the understanding of their obligations to society.

5 Programme Outcomes Programme outcomes refer to the intellectual abilities, knowledge, skills and attributes that a graduate from this programme should possess. To attain the aim of developing all-round students with professional competence, the programme outcome statements are encompassed in the following two categories of learning outcomes. Category A: Professional/academic knowledge and skills On successful completion of the programme, a student will have shown that he or she can 1. Apply fundamental principles of mathematics, science and engineering to identify, formulate

and solve practical problems in the areas of electrical engineering and related disciplines. 2. Design and conduct experiments with appropriate techniques and tools; and interpret and

analyse the data. 3. Design a system, component or process according to given specifications and requirements in

the areas of electrical engineering and related disciplines. 4. Identify constraints, other than technical considerations, which may influence engineering

problems, systems or projects.

5. Keep abreast of developments in electrical engineering and related disciplines and be aware of the need of lifelong learning.

6. Appreciate and understand the ethical, managerial and social responsibilities of a professional engineer.

Category B: Attributes for all-roundedness On successful completion of the programme, a student will have shown that he or she can 1. Communicate effectively via graphic, numeric, verbal and written media with proficiency in

both English and Chinese. 2. Be able to reason critically and develop alternative views or solutions. 3. Work in multi-disciplinary teams with professional interpersonal skills. The Programme Outcomes are in line with the Programme objectives and the mapping is shown in Table 5.

Table 5 Mapping between Programme Objectives and Programme Outcomes

The Subject Learning Outcomes are designed to be in alignment with the Programme Outcomes. The Subject Learning Outcomes are given in each subject and they can be found in the Subject Descriptions Forms in Appendix I.

6 Work-Integrated Education (WIE) and Co-curricular Activities This is a part-time programme and the majority of students have full-time employments in engineering disciplines. The students are therefore well exposed to the work environment. No special arrangements therefore need to be made on Work-Integrated Education. PolyU aspires to develop all its students as all-round graduates with professional competence, and has identified a set of highly valued graduate attributes as the learning goals for students. While many of these graduate attributes can be developed through the curricular activities of this programme, some (including global outlook, interest in local and international affairs, interpersonal skills, sense of social and national responsibility, cultural appreciation, and leadership, etc.) are primarily addressed through co-curricular activities offered by faculties,

departments, and various teaching and learning support units of the University. Students are encouraged to make full use of such opportunities to develop these attributes.

7 Programme Structure

The time-tabled student hours for each module and the type of activity (lecture [Lt], tutorial [Tu] and laboratory [Lab]) are given in the Table 7.1.1 to 7.1.4. The abbreviations used in these tables are: AF School of Accounting and Finance AMA Applied Mathematics BSE Building Services Engineering CSE Civil & Structural Engineering EE Electrical Engineering ELC English Language Centre ENG Engineering Faculty ISE Industrial and Systems Engineering MM Management and Marketing In general, a normal student in the PT-BEng (Hons) with Higher Certificate at entry must complete 15, 30 and 27 credits in Levels 2, 3 and 4, respectively. In other words, a student must complete a total of 72 credits before graduation. For entrants with a Higher Diploma in Electrical Engineering they will be given credit transfers for a maximum of 24 credits that they have taken in their Higher Diploma programmes. SUBJECT DESCRIPTIONS Subjects are referenced by a Departmental letter code (e.g. EE corresponds to Electrical Engineering) followed by a reference number. Each subject is also categorised as non-deferrable (Non-Def), deferrable (Def) or Elective. In the reference numbers, the first digit (i.e. 2, 3 or 4) indicates the level of the subject. ‘Non-def ’ are those subjects which form the backbone of the vertical integration and must be taken by every student in the prescribed semester, unless prevented from doing so due to noncompliance with prerequisites. ‘Def ’ are those subjects which must be satisfactorily completed before the student becomes eligible for an award but the timing of the subject is determined by the student. Table 7.2.1 to 7.2.4 show the times (semesters) in which these subjects are recommended to be taken, if the programme is to be completed in the minimum time. ‘Electives’ are those subjects which are optional. Electives give students choices in composing their study programme. All elective subjects are deferrable.

8 Admission and Registration The admission, registration and assessment arrangements described below are in accordance with the University policies and regulations for credit-based programmes which lead to an award of the University, except where the Senate decides otherwise.

8.1 Admission/Registration

Students are normally admitted into the programme via the non - joint university programmes admission scheme (NON-JUPAS) on a yearly basis. Some students may be admitted in Semester Two to top up any vacancies from de-registration and/or drop-outs in Semester One.

8.2 Credit Transfer/Subject Exemption

Students may be allowed to transfer credits or be exempted for recognised previous study (such as Higher Diploma in Electrical Engineering). Such credit transfers/exemptions normally do not carry grades. Decisions regarding granting or rejecting a subject credit transfer is made by the subject offering departments. In such occasion that a credit transfer is accompanied with grade, the actual grade as approved will be used in calculating the GPA/WGPA. The maximum number of credits that can be transferred is 24. In other words, a SF PT-BEng (Hons) student must complete at least 48 credits in the BEng (Hons) programme in Electrical Engineering at the PolyU before he/she is eligible for the BEng (Hons) award.

Page 18: BEng (Hons) in Electrical EngineeringCertificate holders to that of the first half of the Full-time BEng (Hons) programme is covered in Level 2, the core knowledge areas are covered

Self-Financed Part-time BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering 2011/2012

15

Subject exemption may be granted when it has clearly been identified that a student has a priori knowledge of a subject (in terms of content, academic level and emphasis). In cases where exemption is given, no credits for that subject will be given and the student is required to take another subject assigned by the Department in lieu of the exempted subject. The validity period of subject credits earned is 8 years from the year of attainment, i.e. the year in which the subject is completed. Credits earned from previous study should remain valid at the time when the student applies for transfer of credits; students should submit application for credit transfer at the point of admission, i.e. Year 1.

8.3 Subject Registration/Add-drop of Subjects

Subject registration is carried out prior to the commencement of each semester. The timetables are then drawn up based on student’s choices. In cases of timetable clashes, students will be allowed to re-select a different subject. Students may add and drop subjects during the add/drop period scheduled for each semester. The University has a limit on the maximum study load that a student can take in a semester. For students admitted in 2005-06 or after, the maximum study load in a semester is 21 credits. Students should study the definitive programme document, the subject pre-requisite, co-requisite and exclusion requirements and the specified progression pattern, if any, of the programme before subject registration. It is the student’s responsibility to check if his/her subject registration will fulfil the graduation requirements. Students are allowed to take additional subjects before graduation to broaden their interest. The selection of additional subjects will be done during the add/drop period. Part-time students can only take extra subjects from within their programme curriculum. Tuition fees will be charged according to the number of credits taken. Students may apply for withdrawal of their registration on a subject after the add/drop period if they have a genuine need to do so. The application should be made to the relevant programme offering Department and will require the approval of both the subject lecturer and the host Department Programme Leader concerned (or an alternate academic staff authorised by the programme host Department). The application should be made to the Department no later than one month before the commencement of the examination period. For approved applications, the tuition fee paid for the subject will be forfeited and the withdrawal status of the subject will be shown in the examination result notification and transcript of studies but will not be counted towards the calculation of GPA. A handling fee will be charged by the University.

8.4 Zero Subject Enrolment/Deferment of Study

A student is not allowed to have zero subject registration in any semester without prior approval from the Department. Failing to get prior approval for zero subject registration may classify the student as having withdrawn from the programme. All semesters in which the student is allowed to take zero subject will be counted towards the maximum period of registration. Students will be responsible for ensuring that they complete their studies within the maximum period of registration as stated in Section 2.2 of this document.

16

Students may apply for deferment of study under extenuating circumstances. Deferment periods will not count towards the maximum period of registration.

9 Assessment Regulations

9.1 Introduction

These General Assessment Regulations shall govern all credit-based programmes which lead to an award of the University, except where the Senate decides otherwise. For credit-based programmes, students progress by credit accumulation, i.e. credits earned by passing individual subjects can be accumulated and counted towards the final award. Level A ‘level’ in a credit-based programme indicates the intellectual demand placed upon students and may characterise each subject with respect to its recommended sequencing within that programme.

Subject A ‘subject’ is defined as a discrete section of the programme which is assigned a separate assessment. A list of subjects is available from Table 7.1.1 to 7.1.4. Language of assessment The language of assessment shall be English, unless approval is given for it to be otherwise.

9.2 Principles of Assessment

9.2.1 Assessment of learning and assessment for learning are both important for assuring the

quality of student learning. Assessment of learning is to evaluate whether students have achieved the intended learning outcomes of the subjects that they have taken and have attained the overall learning outcomes of the academic programme at the end of their study at a standard appropriate to the award. Appropriate methods of assessment that align with the intended learning outcomes should be designed for this purpose. The assessment methods will also enable the teacher to differentiate students’ different levels of performance within the subject. Assessment for learning is to engage students in productive learning activities through purposefully designed assessment tasks.

9.2.2 Assessment will also serve as feedback to students. The assessment criteria and standards

should be made explicit to students before the start of the assessment to facilitate student learning, and feedback provided should link to the criteria and standards. Timely feedback should be provided to students so that they are aware of their progress and attainment for the purpose of improvement.

Self-Financed Part-time BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering 2011/2012

17

9.2.3 The ultimate authority in the University for the confirmation of academic decisions is the Senate, but for practical reasons, the Senate has delegated to the Faculty/School Boards the authority to confirm the decisions of Boards of Examiners provided these are made within the framework of the General Assessment Regulations. Recommendations from Board of Examiners which fall outside these Regulations shall be ratified by the Academic Regulations Committee and reported to the Senate.

9.3 Assessment Methods

9.3.1 Students’ performance in a subject shall be assessed by continuous assessment and/or

examinations. The weighting of each in the overall subject grade is stated in Table 7.1.1 to 7.1.4 and also in Appendix I of this document.

9.3.2 Continuous assessment may include tests, assignments, projects, laboratory work, field

exercises, presentations and other forms of classroom participation. Continuous Assessment assignments which involve group work will nevertheless include some individual components therein. The contribution made by each student in continuous assessment involving a group effort shall be determined and assessed separately.

9.3.3 Assessment methods and parameters of subjects shall be determined by the subject

offering department. 9.3.4 At the beginning of each semester, the subject teacher should inform students of the

details of the methods of assessments to be used within the assessment framework as specified in the definitive programme document.

9.4 Progression/Academic Probation/Deregistration

9.4.1 The Board of Examiners shall, at the end of each semester (except for Summer Term

unless there are students who are eligible to graduate after completion of Summer Term subjects), determine whether each student is

(i) eligible for progression towards an award; or (ii) eligible for an award; or (iii) required to be deregistered from the programme. 9.4.2 When a student has a Grade Point Average (GPA) (see Section 9.7.3 below) lower than

2.0, he will be put on academic probation in the following semester. Once when a student is able to pull his GPA up to 2.0 or above at the end of the probation semester, the status of “academic probation” will be lifted. The status of “academic probation” will be reflected in the examination result notification but not in transcript of studies.

9.4.3 A student will have ‘progressing’ status unless he falls within the following categories,

any one of which may be regarded as grounds for deregistration from the programme:

Page 21: BEng (Hons) in Electrical EngineeringCertificate holders to that of the first half of the Full-time BEng (Hons) programme is covered in Level 2, the core knowledge areas are covered

Self-Financed Part-time BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering 2011/2012

18

(i) the student has exceeded the maximum period of registration for that programme as specified in the definitive programme document; or

(ii) the student’s GPA is lower than 2.0 for two consecutive semesters and his

Semester GPA in the second semester is also lower than 2.0; or (iii) the student’s GPA is lower than 2.0 for three consecutive semesters.

9.4.4 The progression of students to the following academic year will not be affected by the GPA obtained in Summer Term, unless the programme enrolled falls into the category described in Section 9.4.5 below and otherwise specified in the definitive programme document.

9.4.5 Exceptions to Section 9.4.4 above could only be made if the Summer Term study is

mandatory for all students of the programme and that the study constitutes a substantial requirement for graduation.

9.4.6 Notwithstanding Sections 9.4.3(ii) and 9.4.3(iii) above, a student may be deregistered

from the programme enrolled before the time specified in Sections 9.4.3(ii) or 9.4.3(iii) above if his academic performance is poor to the extent that the Board of Examiners deems that his chance of attaining a GPA of 2.0 at the end of the programme is slim or impossible.

9.4.7 In the event that there are good reasons, the Board of Examiners has the discretion to

recommend that students who fall into categories as stated in Sections 9.4.3(ii) or 9.4.3(iii) above to stay on the programme, and these recommendations should be presented to the relevant Faculty/School Board for final decision.

9.4.8 Under the current procedures, a student can appeal against the decisions of Boards of

Examiners to deregister him. If such an appeal was upheld by the Department/School concerned, the recommendation (to reverse the previous decision to deregister the student) should also be presented to the relevant Faculty/School Board for final decision.

9.5 Retaking of Subjects

9.5.1 Students may retake any subject for the purpose of improving their grade without having

to seek approval, but they must retake a compulsory subject which they have failed, i.e. obtained an F grade. Retaking of subjects is with the condition that the maximum study load of 21 credits per semester is not exceeded. Students wishing to retake passed subjects will be accorded a lower priority than those who are required to retake (due to failure in a compulsory subject) and can only do so if places are available.

9.5.2 The number of retakes of a subject is not restricted. Only the grade obtained in the final

attempt of retaking (even if the retake grade is lower than the original grade for originally passed subject) will be included in the calculation of the Grade Point Average (GPA). If students have passed a subject but failed after retake, credits accumulated for passing the subject in a previous attempt will remain valid for satisfying the credit requirement for award. (The grades obtained in previous attempts will only be reflected in transcript of studies.)

Self-Financed Part-time BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering 2011/2012

19

9.5.3 In cases where a student takes another subject to replace a failed elective subject, the fail grade will be taken into account in the calculation of the GPA, despite the passing of the replacement subject.

9.6 Appeal Against Examination Results

A student may appeal against the decision of the Board of Examiners within 7 working days after the public announcement of the examination results. (This refers to the date when results are announced to students via the web.) Students appealing against the decision of a Subject Lecturer/ Subject Assessment Review Panel/Board of Examiners shall pay a fee. This fee shall be refunded if the appeal is upheld. The appeal should be made to the Head of Department in writing. The appeal should be accompanied by a copy of the fee receipt, for inspection by the Department concerned. The student should give a complete account of the grounds for the appeal in the letter, and provide any supporting evidence. The person authorised to deal with the appeal will inform the student of the appeal results within 7 working days upon the receipt of all required information. Students may refer to the Student Handbook for more details on appeal procedures.

9.7 Exceptional Circumstances

9.7.1 ABSENCE FROM AN ASSESSMENT COMPONENT 9.7.1.1 If a student is unable to complete all the assessment components of a subject, due to

illness or other circumstances which are beyond his control and considered by the subject offering Department as legitimate, the Department will determine whether the student will have to complete a late assessment and, if so, by what means. This late assessment shall take place at the earliest opportunity, and before the commencement of the following academic year (except that for Summer Term, which may take place within 3 weeks after the finalisation of Summer Term results). If the late assessment cannot be completed before the commencement of the following academic year, the Faculty/School Board Chairman shall decide on an appropriate time for completion of the late assessment.

9.7.1.2 The student concerned is required to submit his/her application for late assessment in

writing to the Head of Department offering the subject, within five working days from the date of the examination, together with any supporting documents (e.g. medical certificate). Approval of applications for late assessment and the means for such late assessments shall be given by the Head of Department offering the subject or the Programme Leader or the Subject Lecturer concerned.

9.7.2 AEGROTAT AWARD 9.7.2.1 If a student is unable to complete the requirements of the programme in question for the

award due to very serious illness, or other very special circumstances which are beyond his control, and considered by the Board of Examiners as legitimate, the Faculty/School Board will determine whether the student will be granted an aegrotat award. Aegrotat award will be granted under very exceptional circumstances.

Page 23: BEng (Hons) in Electrical EngineeringCertificate holders to that of the first half of the Full-time BEng (Hons) programme is covered in Level 2, the core knowledge areas are covered

Self-Financed Part-time BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering 2011/2012

20

9.7.2.2 A student who has been offered an aegrotat award shall have the right to opt either to accept such an award, or request to be assessed on another occasion to be stipulated by the Board of Examiners; the student’s exercise of this option shall be irrevocable.

9.7.2.3 The acceptance of an aegrotat award by a student shall disqualify him from any

subsequent assessment for the same award. 9.7.2.4 An aegrotat award shall normally not be classified, and the award parchment shall not

state that it is an aegrotat award. However, the Board of Examiners may determine whether the award should be classified provided that they have adequate information on the students’ academic performance.

9.7.3 OTHER PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES

A student’s particular circumstances may influence the procedures for assessment but not the standard of performance expected in assessment.

9.8 Grades, GPA and Award Classifications

9.8.1 Assessment grades shall be awarded on a criterion-referenced basis. A student’s overall

performance in a subject shall be graded as follows:

Subject grade

Short description Elaboration on subject grading description

A+ Exceptionally Outstanding

The student’s work is exceptionally outstanding. It exceeds the intended subject learning outcomes in all regards.

A Outstanding The student’s work is outstanding. It exceeds the intended subject learning outcomes in nearly all regards.

B+ Very Good The student’s work is very good. It exceeds the intended subject learning outcomes in most regards.

B Good The student’s work is good. It exceeds the intended subject learning outcomes in some regards.

C+ Wholly Satisfactory The student’s work is wholly satisfactory. It fully meets the intended subject learning outcomes.

C Satisfactory The student’s work is satisfactory. It largely meets the intended subject learning outcomes.

D+ Barely Satisfactory The student’s work is barely satisfactory. It marginally meets the intended subject learning outcomes.

D Barely Adequate The student’s work is barely adequate. It meets the intended subject learning outcomes only in some regards.

F Inadequate The student’s work is inadequate. It fails to meet many of the intended subject learning outcomes.

‘F’ is a subject failure grade, whilst all others (‘D’ to ‘A+’) are subject passing grades. No credit will be earned if a subject is failed.

Self-Financed Part-time BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering 2011/2012

21

9.8.2 A numerical grade point is assigned to each subject grade, as indicated in Table 9.8.2.1:

Grade Grade Point Description A+ 4.5* Exceptionally Outstanding A 4 Outstanding B+ 3.5 Very Good B 3 Good

C+ 2.5 Wholly Satisfactory C 2 Satisfactory

D+ 1.5 Barely Satisfactory D 1 Barely Adequate F 0 Inadequate I# N/A Assessment to be completed P N/A Pass on an ungraded subject U N/A Fail on an ungraded subject M N/A Pass with merit L N/A Subject to be continued in the following

semester S 0 Absent from assessment W N/A Withdrawn from subject Z N/A Exempted T N/A Transfer of credit

* The overall and weighted GPA will be capped at 4.0. # For cases where students fail marginally in one of the components within a subject, the BoE can defer

making a final decision until the students concerned have completed the necessary remedial work to the satisfaction of the subject examiner(s). The students can be assigned an ' I ' code in this circumstance.

Note: Subjects with the assigned codes I, N, P, U, M, L, W, Z and T (if the subject is without grade transferred) will be omitted in the calculation of the GPA. A subject assigned code S will be taken as zero in the calculation.

Table 9.8.2.1 Grades/Codes to Denote Overall Subject Assessments

(and subject components, if deemed appropriate) 9.8.3 At the end of each semester/term, a Grade Point Average (GPA) will be computed as

follows, and based on the grade point of all the subjects:

×

=

i

i

ValueCreditSubject

ValueCreditSubjectntPoiGradeSubjectGPA

where i = number of all subjects (inclusive of failed subjects) taken by the student up to and including the latest semester/term. For subjects which have been retaken, only the grade obtained in the final attempt will be included in the GPA calculation.

In addition, the following subjects will be excluded from the GPA calculation: (i) Exempted subjects (ii) Ungraded subjects (iii) Incomplete subjects

Page 25: BEng (Hons) in Electrical EngineeringCertificate holders to that of the first half of the Full-time BEng (Hons) programme is covered in Level 2, the core knowledge areas are covered

Self-Financed Part-time BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering 2011/2012

22

(iv) Subjects for which credit transfer has been approved without any grade assigned (v) Subjects from which a student has been allowed to withdraw (i.e. those with the

grade ‘W’)

A subject which has been given an “S” subject code, i.e. absent from examination, will be included in the GPA calculation and will be counted as “zero” grade point. GPA is thus the unweighted cumulative average calculated for a student, for all relevant subjects taken from the start of the programme to a particular point of time. GPA is an indicator of overall performance and is capped at 4.0.

9.8.4 In the event that grades are awarded to subject components, a grade point with the

decimal value may be generated for the overall result of the subject. This grade point with decimal value will be converted to grade according to a standard conversion methodology. The corresponding grade point for the subject overall grade, instead of the actual grade points obtained by students, will be used for GPA calculation. This methodology for deriving subject overall grades only serves as an aid to subject assessors. As assessment should be a matter of judgement and not merely a result of computation, the subject lecturer will have the discretion to assign a grade which is considered to reflect more appropriately the overall performance of the student in a subject to override the grade derived by the computer.

9.9 Eligibility for Award

9.9.1 A student would be eligible for award if he satisfies all the conditions listed below: (i) Accumulation of the requisite number of credits for the particular award, as

defined in the definitive programme document; and

(ii) Satisfying the residential requirement for at least 1/3 of the credits to be completed for the award he is currently enrolled, unless the professional bodies stipulate otherwise; and

(iii) Satisfying all the requirements as defined in the definitive programme document

and as specified by the University; and (iv) Having a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 or above at the end of the

programme. (v) Satisfying other requirements, if any, as stipulated in the definitive programme

document e.g. Work-integrated experience, co-curricular activities, GSLPA and other language requirements.

9.9.2 A student is required to graduate as soon as he satisfies all the conditions for award (see

Section 9.9.1 above). 9.9.3 Students are allowed to take additional subjects before graduation to broaden their

interest. The selection of additional subjects will be done during the add/drop period. Any

Page 26: BEng (Hons) in Electrical EngineeringCertificate holders to that of the first half of the Full-time BEng (Hons) programme is covered in Level 2, the core knowledge areas are covered

Self-Financed Part-time BEng (Hons) in Electrical Engineering 2011/2012

23

requests for dropping the additional subjects after the add/drop period will be treated as subject withdrawal. Students of a part-time programme, can only take extra subjects from within the programme curriculum. Tuition fees will be charged according to the number of credits taken.

9.10 Guidelines for Award Classification

9.10.1 The guidelines for award classification are under Section 9.10.4. In using these guidelines,

the Board of Examiners shall exercise its judgement in coming to its conclusions as to the award for each student, and where appropriate, may use other relevant information.

9.10.2 The programme may use the Grade Point Average (GPA) or the Weighted GPA as a

guideline in determining award classifications. Weighted GPA will be computed as follows:

×

××=

ii

ii

WValueCreditSubject

WValueCreditSubjectntPoiGradeSubjectGPAWeighted

where Wi = weighting of between 0 and 1, to be assigned according to the level of the subject, and i = number of all subjects counted in GPA calculation as set out in Section 9.8.3, except those exclusions specified in Sections 9.10.2 to 9.10.3.

The level weightings assigned will be applied across all subjects of the same level within a programme. The weighting of each level is a measure of the relevance of the level to the classification of the award. The weighting of all levels should be made known in the definitive programme document. Elective subjects of the same level should be given the same weighting. If a particular subject will not contribute to the award classification, it should be specified in the definitive programme document that the subject will not be included in the calculation of the Weighted GPA. Weighted GPA is also capped at 4.0.

9.10.3 Any subjects passed after the graduation requirement has been met or subjects taken on

top of the prescribed credit requirements for award shall not be taken into account in the grade point calculation for award classification (see Sections 9.8.3 and 9.10.2 above). However, if a student attempts more elective subjects (or optional subjects) than those required for graduation in or before the semester in which he becomes eligible for award, the elective subjects (or optional subjects) with a higher grade/contribution shall be included in the grade point calculation (i.e. the excessive subjects attempted with a lower grade/contribution, including failed subjects, will be excluded).

9.10.4 The following is a set of indicators and guidelines for Boards of Examiners’ reference in determining award classifications:

Honours degrees

GPA or Weighted GPA* Guidelines

1st 3.7+ - 4

The student’s performance/ attainment is outstanding, and identifies him as exceptionally able in the field covered by the programme in question.

2:i 3.2+ - 3.7-

The student has reached a standard of performance/ attainment which is more than satisfactory but less than outstanding.

2:ii 2.3+ - 3.2-

The student has reached a standard of performance/ attainment judged to be satisfactory, and clearly higher than the ‘essential minimum’ required for graduation.

3rd 2.0 - 2.3-

The student has attained the ‘essential minimum’ required for graduation at a standard ranging from just adequate to just satisfactory.

* Note: "+" sign denotes 'equal to and more than'; "−" sign denotes 'less than'.

Table 9.10.4.1 Degree Classification Guidelines 9.10.5 A Pass-without-Honours degree award will be recommended only under exceptional

circumstances, when the student has demonstrated a level of final attainment which is below the ‘essential minimum’ required for graduation with Honours from the programme in question, but when he has nonetheless covered the prescribed work of the programme in an adequate fashion, while failing to show sufficient evidence of the intellectual calibre expected of Honours degree graduates. For example, if a student in an Honours degree programme has a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 or more, but his Weighted GPA is less than 2.0, he may be considered for a Pass-without-Honours classification.
