Summary of Programme Structure

Each Major studied consists of a 4 year pr ogramme. In the first year all engineering students study principles of Electronics, Electrical and Mechanical engineering as well as mathematics and English courses with an engineering focus.

In the second year, students select their specific major and define the direction they are taking in Engineering. They also select other Elective courses required in all Polytechnic degrees. English courses tailored for engineering, continue through to the end of second year.

Each semester, students gain work experience through industry placements organized by the Polytechnic. Project based learning is common in the Engineering degrees. Students learn through small integrated projects in the early years while the final year consists mostly of large industrylinked projects.
