10 Enrollment Information

11 Enrollment Information Softcopy of Form: ranet/index.html - Under B. Eng. Enrollment The above form is for information only, students are required to do the course enrollment ONLINE. 11

12 Notes for Maximumstudy load = 36 credits in one semester; AND Maximumstudy load = 72 credits in one academic year, including summer semester (according to UG4: Year 2 or 3 students MUST reserve 6 credits for Internship (CIVL2109). e.g. 1 st Sem.: 30 credits, 2 nd Sem.: 36 credits, Summer Sem.: 6 credits; OR 1 st Sem.: 36 credits, 2 nd Sem.: 30 credits, Summer Sem.: 6 credits; OR 1 st Sem.: 33 credits, 2 nd Sem.: 33 credits, Summer Sem.: 6 credits Note: If total credits of 1 st & 2 nd semesters exceed 72, students are NOT allowed to take Internship in the same academic year. 12 graduate later & delay the Chartership Exam! Unused credits shall NOT be carried forward to the next semester, i.e. Sem. 1 = 30 and Sem. 2 = 42 is NOT acceptable.

13 Notes for Minimum study load = 24 credits per semester (except summer semester and in the last semester of study when the number of outstanding credits required to complete the curriculum requirements is fewer than 24 credits.) For retaking courses, the credits will be counted and the above rules MUST be satisfied. i.e. If you need to retake a 6-credit course, you can just take 30 credits of new courses (~ 5 courses of 6 credits each) in one semester. Green Card Safety course is COMPULSORY and passing the course will be one of the assessment requirements under the course CIVL2109 Internship. 13

21 Programme Outcomes of BEng in Civil Engineering Programme (g) an ability to communicate effectively (h) an ability to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context, especially the importance of health, safety and environmental considerations to both workers and the general public (i) an ability to stay abreast of contemporary issues (j) an ability to recognise the need for, and to engage in life-long learning (k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice appropriate to the degree discipline (l) an ability to use the computer/it tools relevant to the discipline along with an understanding of their processes and limitations 21

22 HKIE Engineering Graduate Training Scheme A BEng (Hons) Degree in Civil Engineering (including the programme under the double degree in BEng/BBA) is eligible for Scheme A in Civil, Geotechnical and Structural Disciplines. BEng (Hons) Degree in Civil Engineering (including the programme under the double degree in BEng/BBA) is eligible for Scheme A in Environmental Discipline on the condition that the graduate must have taken 2 elective courses from either 2 of the following 3 categories: CIVL 3107 Environmental Impact Assessment of Civil Engineering Projects Either CIVL 3111 Municipal and Industrial Wastewater Treatment or CIVL3121 Water Resources Engineering CIVL 3115 Solid and Hazardous Waste Management 22

29 Other Points to Note

30 Other Points to Note The two discipline core courses T&D I and T&D II will be restructured to Structural Analysis and Structural Design. Structural Analysis is a pre-requisite for Structural Design. Academic year / Semester Semester Semester Semester Semester 2 Courses to be offered CIVL2105 Theory & design of structures I (last offered) CIVL2107 Theory & design of structures II CIVL2112 Structural Analysis CIVL2107 Theory & design of structures II CIVL2112 Structural Analysis CIVL2113 Structural Design CIVL2107 Theory & design of structures II (last offered) CIVL2112 Structural Analysis CIVL2113 Structural Design 30

31 Other Points to Note Advice to students: Passed T&DI? Passed T&DII? Advice No No Take Structural Analysis AND Structural Design Yes No No Yes (e.g. credit transfer from exchange) Take T&DII OR Take Structural Analysis OR Structural Design (if T&DII is not longer offered; which one to be taken is subjected to Department s decision) Take Structural Analysis OR Structural Design (subjected to Department s decision) 31

32 Other Points to Note Year 3 students with advanced standing are allowed to take both CIVL4101 Capstone Design Project and CIVL4102 Project for earlier graduation. Please talk to the enrollment tutor about your study plan to get the approval since only Year 4 students are allowed to enroll these two courses in SIS. Even if you have assigned a project topic for CIVL4102 Project, you have to enroll the course yourself in SIS. Rule for supplementary exams: If students are sick with med. cert. and cannot attend exam, they are allowed to take supplementary exam arranged in the same semester. If students are absent in supplementary exams, they are required to retake the whole course even if they have med. cert. 32 Students who have showed up in the exam are NOT allowed to take supplementary exam even if they have med. cert.

33 Other Points to Note For final year students who are allowed to attend supplementary exam for the first semester, please note that since the results will be released after add/drop period of second semester, you are suggested to enrol the course first, if you got a pass, enrollment tutors can help you to drop the course. Academic Advisory Sessions will be organized as follows: Date & Time: 6 Sep 2017 (Wed) 2-4pm 13 Sep 2017 (Wed) 11am - 1pm Venue: HW6-32C 33
