1.EEEN, ENGG and MAEG courses at 2000 and above level as included in the Major Programme Requirement as well as those labeled as #, and their reciprocal ESTR courses will be included in the calculation of Major GPA for honours classification, excluding courses in Faculty Package and Foundation courses.
2.Students satisfying all the requirements of a stream (except the ELITE Stream, which will be officially recorded on the academic transcript) will be given a certifying letter upon request. Further information is available from the Department.
[a]i) JUPAS admittees without HKDSE Mathematics Extended Modules I or II are required to take ENGG1040 before they can take ENGG1125.ii) JUPAS admittees with the following HKDSE results do not need to take ENGG1040 and therefore will not be invited for the Mathematics Placement Test:- Level 5** in Mathematics Extended Module I; or- Level 5* or above in Mathematics Extended Module II.iii) Non-JUPAS admittees with the following public examination results do not need to take ENGG1040 and therefore will not be invited for the Mathematics Placement Test:- Grade 6 or above in IB Mathematics Analysis and Approaches (HL); or- Grade 7 in IB Mathematics Applications and Interpretation (HL); or- Grade A* in GCE-AL Further Mathematics.iv) Other admittees except those specified above, are required to attend a Mathematics Placement Test. Students who fail or are absent from the Placement Test will be required to take ENGG1040 before they can take ENGG1125.
[b]Students who fail ENGG1125 in Term 1 will have to retake the course in Term 2. The pre-assigned ENGG1130 in Term 2, will therefore be dropped.
[c]i) Students who have attained Level 4 or above in HKDSE Mathematics (Compulsory Part) AND Level 4 or above in Physics or Level 5 or above in Combined Science with Physics Component shall take PHYS1110.ii) Students with HKDSE results but did not attain the academic levels as stated in (i) shall take PHYS1003 in advance. PHYS1003 will be counted as a free elective but cannot be used to fulfill the Foundation course requirements.iii) Students without HKDSE results shall sit for the placement test arranged by the Department of Physics. Students who pass the placement test shall take PHYS1110. Students who fail or are absent from the placement test shall take PHYS1003 in advance. PHYS1003 will be counted as a free elective but cannot be used to fulfill the Foundation course requirements.
[d]Students who have declared to specialize in the ELITE Stream will be required to complete 6 units of ESTR4998 and 4999 to substitute for MAEG4998 and 4999.
[e]Details of the entrance and coursework requirements, and declaration procedures for the ELITE Stream can be found at the ELITE website (www.erg.cuhk.edu.hk/erg/elite). Non-ELITE Engineering students may be allowed to take ESTR courses. Students are required to seek approval from their respective Major Programmes for using ESTR courses taken to fulfill the Major Programme Requirement. Details are available at the ELITE website.
[f]Students can use up to 9 units of courses which have been taken to fulfill the requirements of items 1 to 4 above to fulfill the elective requirements of the ELITE Stream. Item 3(b) Research Component Courses will not be included in these 9 units. A full list of ESTR courses is available at the ELITE website.
[g]Students can use AIST/BMEG/CENG/CSCI/EEEN/ELEG/ENGG/IERG/MAEG/ SEEM research postgraduate courses at 5000 level to substitute for ESTR courses at 3000 or 4000 level, subject to the approval of the Stream Director and the Associate Dean (Education).
[h]The requirement of at least 3 units of Engineering courses at 5000 level is a requirement for the ELITE Stream only. It should not be interpreted as a requirement of the Major Programme.
