The curriculum design is based on the concept of foundation, breadth and depth courses so that streams for different specializations can be created within each
discipline.
Foundation Courses: The foundation courses are the courses that all students in a given discipline of engineering must take. These courses provide students
with the fundamental concepts and tools to pursue their studies at the higher level.
Breadth Courses: The breadth courses introduce students to different specialties in the given discipline of engineering early in their studies. Before taking the
breadth courses, the students should be advised that their choices will affect taking follow up courses because of pre-requisite requirement.
Depth Courses: The depth courses offer specialization within each engineering discipline. All depth courses must integrate a substantial design component.
The students may select electives from any of the areas of specialization with some guidelines from their respective advisors.
