Explanatory Notes
1.ENGG, ESTR and SEEM courses at 2000 and above level as well as those labeled as # will be included in the calculation of Major GPA for honours classification, excluding courses in Faculty Package and Foundation courses.
2.Full exemption from the qualifying examination will be granted by the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport in Hong Kong (CILTHK) to graduates with successful completion of courses MKTG2010, SEEM2520, SEEM3620/ESTR3514 and SEEM4750/ESTR4510 plus a final year project in transport/logistics.
[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]If students choose a Physics course from this group, the course shall be taken in accordance with students’ HKDSE results or placement test results as follows: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 ENGG1310/ESTR1003 or PHYS1110.ii) Students with HKDSE results but did not attain the academic levels as stated in (i) shall take PHYS1003.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 ENGG1310/ESTR1003 or PHYS1110. Students who fail or are absent from the placement test shall take PHYS1003.
[d]Students are recommended to take SEEM2460/ESTR2540.
[e]Students who have declared to specialize in the ELITE Stream will be required to complete 6 units of ESTR4998 and 4999 to substitute for SEEM4998 and 4999.
[f]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.
[g]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.
[h]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).
[i]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.
