Technical Electives


For CEG AY2016/17 intake and prior

Students can opt to exclusively focus in one of the concentrations of Communications & Networking, Embedded Computing, Large-Scale Computing, Intelligent Systems, Interactive Digital Media and System-on-a-Chip Design by taking the electives in these concentrations.

The modules in each concentration are categorised as Breadth or Depth modules. A breadth module enables students to achieve a broad understanding of concepts in the particular concentration. Students may read breadth electives to achieve exposure to various facets of CEG. A depth module is a higher level module that provides greater depth and coverage in the particular concentration.

The rules are as follows:

AY2014/15 - AY2016/17 intakes: To achieve depth, CEG students need to read a minimum of two depth electives. All technical electives must add up to at least 12 MCs. Students are encouraged to take more technical electives (and count them towards fulfilling UEM).

These modules may come from any of the concentrations. While there is no necessity, students may opt to focus in a particular concentration. To do so, a student should read all three technical electives from the same concentration. Students will have to ensure that they have read the prerequisite module(s) of the depth modules. This may have an impact on the selection of breadth modules.

As an additional note, other 3000/4000 modules hosted by CS or ECE can be used to fulfill CEG Technical Elective (TE) requirements (under no particular concentration). A CS/EE3xxx module will count as CEG TE Breadth, while a CS/EE4xxx will count as CEG TE Depth.
