- 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
* Waiver may be applicable for this pre-requisite - please write to mae_reg@ntu.edu.sg
# MA9004 is offered to all NTU students, as Unrestricted Elective
*****
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 |
^MA2009 and MA8005 are mutually exclusive courses. Students who have read MA8005 before AY2018 S1 are allowed to reclassify MA8005 as UE to be counted towards the Specialisation.
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:
These courses provide the required grounding in the broad areas of humanities, business, liberal studies and technological knowledge to better prepare our graduates for the new economy in the 21st century.
B.Eng (Aerospace) Direct-Entry students have 3 AUs of GER-PE to be selected from three categories:
- Business and Management (BM)
- Science, Technology & Society (STS)
- Liberal Arts (LA)
