GENERAL ELECTIVE COURSES
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. A student has the freedom to choose his/her general electives from among the list of general elective courses recommended by his/her Department of Study, subject to the condition that he/she is required to earn a minimum of 02 credits from each one of the following three categories:
i. Management and Economics
ii. Arts and Humanities
iii. Political and Social Sciences
