Table C:  List of 16 MC * of Common Modules, Contributing to FASS Requirements

Module Title

EG1413 Critical Thinking & Writing

These three modules are accepted in lieu of the FASS Faculty exposure requirements. They involve some social science and some humanities. Students must also complete 4 MC of exposure modules from Asian Studies as part of the FASS requirements.

PH2208 Applied Ethics  (fulfils the FoE requirement for the 3MC EG1415 Engineering Professionalism*)

SC2202 Sociology of Work OR SC1101E Making Sense of Society (fulfils the FoE requirement for the 3MC HR2002 Understanding Human Relations in the New Economy*)

ST1131/ST1131A Introduction to Statistics OR MA3501 Math. Methods in Engineering OR CN3421 Process Modelling & Numerical Simulation OR EE2012 Analytical Methods in ECE

To replace the essential module EC2303: Foundations of Econometrics. These modules are already alternative prerequisites for the later essential module EC3303: Econometrics I.

* These 16 MC of common modules replace 14 MC in the BEng(Hons) Programme requirements.
