Overview of Briefing
• What and Why Computer Engineering (CEG)?• Programme Objectives • Degree Programme Requirements• Industrial Attachment and Special Programmes• Grade Point System• Grade-free Scheme• Academic Advisors
CEG: Designing Intelligence
Design computing systems for a smarter world
Unique multi-disciplinary programme
Conceive-Design-Implement paradigm
Industrial attachment, overseas experience
What is Computer Engineering? Discipline which combines electrical engineering and computer science
Computer engineers are involved in many aspects of computing, from low levelcircuit designs using computing devices to large scale integration involving hardware and software systems
A graduate in this programme is expected to have fundamental knowledge in mathematics, physics, electronics, digital logic, programming and algorithms, computer architecture, operating systems, networks, embedded systems
A graduate is also expected to have some experience in design of hardware and software systems
Relevant industrial experience will also complement your knowledge and skills
Cyber-Physical Systems

CEG Technical Electives
The following level 2000 modules may count as CEG TE Breadth:CS2104, IE2110 and IE2130.
**Students are required to read either CG3207 or CS3230 as Programme requirements. Only students who passed both modules can count (the other/second) one as TE Breadth.
Industrial Attachment (IA)Industrial Attachment (IA) is compulsory for Direct students since AY2014/15
For AY2019/20 intake: 24/20 weeks in industryEither CP3880 ATAP (12 MCs) OR EG3611A IA (10 MCs)
In lieu of 10/12 MCs of compulsory IA, Polytechnic students will have:- MA1301 (for those exempted from MA1301, they read MA1511 and MA1512 in its place AND will need to take additional technical electives to make up the 4 MCs shortfall) - PC1222 and - Student Internship Prg (SIP)/Vacation Internship Prg (VIP)/Technical elective (TE)
Special Programmes opportunities1. Double/Second Major programmes- A Double Major is a single degree programme, in which a student satisfies the requirements of two Majors. - The Second Major affords a significant degree of depth, although its MC requirement is set below that of the Major. The Second Major is a non-Honours major. It may be taken in the same faculty that offers the Major or from a different Faculty. - A Second Major consist of at least 48 MCs (up to 16 MCs can be double-counted)- Refer to http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/education-at-nus/undergraduate-education/special-undergraduate-programmes/double-major-programmes.html for more information
Special Programmes opportunities2. Minor programmes - A Minor programme is a coherent course of study in an additional area outside of the Major. By doing this, it contributes to the breadth of learning envisaged for undergraduate education- A minor consists of at least 24 MCs- Refer to http://www.nus.edu.sg/registrar/education-at-nus/undergraduate-education/special-undergraduate-programmes/minor-programmes.html for more information.Note for students who are interested to do a Minor programme during the course of their candidature:- 'Open' Minor - students can declare their intention to do an open minor via the Academic Plan declaration page without any prior approval from the Host faculty/Department.- 'Restricted' Minor - students are required to apply to the Host Faculty/Department and obtain approval to read a restricted minor
Student Exchange Programmehttps://ceg.nus.edu.sg/sep/
Students who are keen to go for SEP in Year 3 will apply in Year 2 (Sept-Oct). Lots of prior planning required!http://www.nus.edu.sg/gro/student-exchange.php

S/U Option
• S/U option: obtain either a Satisfactory (S) or an Unsatisfactory (U) record for the module
- When exercised, excluded from the calculation of your CAP- 3-day window to decide on S/U after the release of exam results- Irrevocable!
Note: You must score a minimum “C” grade to get “S”. Otherwise your transcript will show “U” (Unsatisfactory) for the module.
“U” also means that the module cannot be counted as satisfying a pre-requisite.
Grade-free Scheme for first two (regular) semesters
• The Grade-free Scheme is to ease your transition into NUS
• Exercise S/U option of up to 32 MCs in the first two (regular) semesters, with up to 12 MCs in remaining sems(if unused).
• Poly students with > 20 APCs may exercise S/U for up to 20 MCs only in the 1st two regular sems; if this is not fully utilised, may still be exercised in subsequent sem, for up to 12 MCs.
• Students with a prior university degree do not have any S/U options and are not eligible for the Grade-free Scheme
• Once an ‘S' or ‘U' grade is assigned to a module, it will count towards the 32/20-MC limit that can be taken on an S/U basis.
The S/U option can be exercised on the following modules:• All Level 1000 modules (except for the English for Academic
Purposes modules)• All Level 2000 modules with no other NUS modules as pre-
requisites (unless otherwise stipulated by the Faculties/Departments)
• Centre for Language Studies’ language modules at all levels• Centre for English Language Communication’s (CELC) Level
2000 communication modules (CS2101, ES2002, ES2007, ES2007S, ES2331, CS2301/IS2101)

Other Information
3. Foundation Academic English (ES1000) and ES1103 English for Academic Purposes- If you do not pass your QET you must register for ES1000&/ES1103 EAP so that you can take GER1000/GEQ1000 in the earliest semesters possible.- Students who missed July 2019 QET should look out for the next registration (for November QET).- ES1103 is 4 MCs.- Students may start to register for ES1103 via ModReg system from Round 1 starting 25 July 2019.
What do the QET results mean? • Students who obtain Band 1 will have to take ES1000 followed by ES1103. • Students who obtain Band 2 will have to take ES1103. • Students who obtain Band 3 are exempted from these English modules.
4. Exemptions for Polytechnic graduates of AY2019/20 intake admitted into CEG:Poly graduates admitted into CEG in AY2019/20 will follow AY2019/20 CEG curriculum and may be eligible for the following exemptions (up to 34 MCs) from the following list, depending on the Diploma from the polytechnics.
i. Up to 20 MCs from Unrestricted Elective Modules (UEM). The 20 MCs from UEM will NOT be counted as part of the 60 MCs limit on level-1000 modules that students are allowed to read.*
ii. Specific exemptions of up to 14 MCs from programme requirements (comprising of one or more modules) are as determined by the Department on a case-by-case basis.
* For details on the poly exemptions, please refer to: https://ceg.nus.edu.sg/admissions/
5. Students should not exceed 23 MCs in sem 1Hence, students who need to take ES1103 (need to register in Round 1) should take it in sem 1 and delay GER1000/GEQ1000 to a later semester.The same goes for students under RVRC/UTCP/other programmes (which require taking certain prescribed module(s) in the first sem).
Other Information
MC excluded from CAP• Modules taken on S/U & CS/CU basis or during exchange, NOC, IA/Internship and APCs are not factored into CAP
Minimum graded MCsMinimum graded MCs (NUS modules with assigned letter-grades ‘A+’ to ‘D’, ‘CS’ grade or ‘S’-grade) counted towards Degree, Major, and Minor Requirements:- A minimum of 50% for degree requirements (residency); - A minimum of 60% for major requirements; and - A minimum of 16 MC for minor requirements - Only up to 32/20 MCs may be accrued from modules on S/U basis.
Limit on level 1 modules : 60 MCs max
- Check your grouping and timetable at https://ceg.nus.edu.sg/students/first_year/
- CEG1 students should refer to group C02 – C11.CEG2 (Poly) students should refer to group C01A and C01B.
For most students, four core modules should be pre-allocated as per C0x; students should register for ES1103/ES1000 (if applicable).Note: (1) GE module (in Sem 1) will also be pre-allocated.(2) However, you need to bid for tutorial classes using ModReg.
