School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (MAE) Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) BRC Curriculum Accelerated Bachelor's Programme

(ABP) (for students matriculated in AY2011/2012) Introduction The Accelerated Bachelors Programme (ABP) is designed for students who have the potential to complete the B.Eng degree in 3 years. Curriculum All students must earn a minimum of 138 Academic Units (AUs) to meet graduation requirements. Students in the ABP will have to take on additional courses from the second year. Since there are different routes to complete the ABP within the stipulated timeframe, students can choose one that best suits their own pace. An example of the curriculum structure can be found on the following page. Final Year Project All ABP students will select their MA4079 Final Year Project (FYP) in December and commence their FYP in January of the following year. The FYP duration is one year. ABP students are required to complete their FYP by December in the same year. Students are reminded to check their NTU email account regularly for important announcements on registration matters.
