Notes:
- Major PE are different from General Education Requirements - Prescribed Electives (GER-PE). Major PE provide more in-depth knowledge. These are classified as final year courses.
- The semester in which a Major PE is offered is subject to change.
- A Major PE may be cancelled when there is an insufficient number of students or for other reasons.
- Specialisation is optional. Only 1 specialisation will be reflected on the transcript.

^ Read MA0218 as GER-Core or Unrestricted Elective - depending on intake year
# MA5004 is offered to NTU students, as Unrestricted Elective - MA5004 (MA9004) is classified as an UE therefore it will not fulfil the AU requirement for Major-PE. Existing students who had read MA5004/MA9004 in AY2022 and before and did not S/U will be allowed to use this course to count towards SMDF specialisation.
SPECIALISATION IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
AERO students will have to read the following courses under the specified course types to fulfil the specialisation:
COURSE TYPE | COURSE CODE AND TITLE |
---|---|
Core+ | MA3704 Aircraft Electrical Devices |
Unrestricted Elective+ | MA2002 Theory of Mechanism |
Unrestricted Elective+ | MA2009^ Introduction to Electrical Circuits & Electronic Devices |
Major Prescribed Elective+ | MA3001 Machine Element Design |
Major Prescribed Elective+ | MA4002 Fluid Dynamics |
This new specialisation will enable graduates to apply for registration as Professional Engineers, if other requirements (4 years of relevant practical experience in engineering, FEE & PPEE examinations, interview) are also fulfilled. Please see the following extract:
The Professional Engineers Board registers professional engineers in the branches of civil, electrical mechanical and chemical engineering. A person applying for registration as a professional engineer to the Professional Engineers Board is required to hold an approved degree or qualification listed in the Professional Engineers (Approved Qualifications) Notification / Amendment Notification 2016 and acquired relevant practical experience. The applicant is required to sit and pass the Fundamentals of Engineering Examination and the Practice of Professional Engineering Examination or the oral examination (for a person previously registered as a professional engineer or is an experienced applicant). In addition, the applicant is required to attend a professional interview.
Further details on Professional Engineer registration from PEB can be found here.
These courses provide the required grounding in the broad areas of business, liberal arts and technological knowledge to better prepare our graduates for the new economy in the 21st century.
All students are required to read 9 AUs of GER-PE to be selected from three categories:
- Business and Management (BM) - 3 AUs
- Science, Technology & Society (STS) - 3 AUs
- Liberal Arts (LA) - 3 AUs
More information on GER-PE courses and the list of offered courses are in OAS website
GENERAL EDUCATION REQUIREMENT - UNRESTRICTED ELECTIVES (GER-UE)
Students are required to read 15 AUs of GER-UE offered by MAE or by other Schools.
Click here for the list of GER-UE. Not all courses in the list are available.
Students who opt to read for a Minor will take the courses required to fulfill the requirements of the Minor in lieu of the GER-UE requirements. MAE students are not allowed to read a minor in Minor in Systems Management (MSM).
Please refer to the OAS website for more information on reading Minors.
