General elective courses are conducted for all fields of specialization in the Specialization Programme. The overall coordination of these courses is done by the Engineering Education Unit (EEU) of the Faculty and individual course coordination is done by different departments. In addition, each department may offer a set of general elective subjects relevant to the field of specialization. Qualified staff members in the respective disciplines are channelled from or outside the Faculty to conduct the general elective courses. The general elective courses acceptable for claiming credits for each field of specialization are announced by relevant departments.
