All engineering undergraduates can opt to study a Minor Programme to gain skills and knowledge beyond their major disciplines. The faculty offers a list of minor programs but there are many programmes offered by other faculties as well (see below).

List of Minor Programmes
An 'open' minor means you can declare your intention to do a particular minor via the Centralised Online Registration System (CORS) without any prior approval from the Host Faculty. For open minors, you will bid for the modules under 'Breadth <U9>' category. In order for administrators to track that you are doing an open minor, do remember to declare the minor via CORS and convert the module(s) from Breadth <U9> to Double Count Minor & Breadth <MB>, Double Count Minor & UEM <MU> or Minor <17>, based on your preference via Online Degree Requirement Check (DRC). This is a crucial step when you are filing for graduation.
A 'restricted' minor requires students to apply through the Host faculty before they can declare doing the minor and bid modules under 'Minor <17>' category.

You may get more information on each minor programme by contacting the host faculty/school.
General Rules
-
All minor programs will have six modules, and students are required to read all six. The grades of all six modules will be graded* and counted towards the CAP, which will in turn count towards the honors classification. * with the exception of some TR modules which is by default S/U.
-
Engineering students are advised to read no more than one minor programme to ensure a more manageable workload.
-
The minor program will only be reflected in the student's academic transcript and not in the main degree scroll.
-
For students from AY2007/08 cohort onwards, the modular credits (MC) requirements for a Minor Program should not be less than 24MCs. Where there exists a substantially equivalence in the modules, departments may grant double-counting of MCs from the major requirements (up to a maximum of 8 MCs) towards the MC requirements in the Minor Program. A student may use up to 20 MCs to satisfy the Unrestricted Elective Modules and another 8 MCs from the Breadth component of the University Level Requirements. If a student is unable to double count the minor modules towards his Breadth or UEM, he/she will take them on top of the 160 MCs graduation requirement.

For students who matriculated before AY2007/08, the modular credits (MC) requirements for a Minor Program should not be less than 24MCs. Where there exists a substantially equivalence in the modules, departments may grant double-counting of MCs from the major requirements (up to a maximum of 8 MCs) towards the MC requirements in the Minor Program. A student may use up to 12 MCs to satisfy the Unrestricted Elective Modules and another 16 MCs from the Breadth component of the University Level Requirements. If a student is unable to double count the minor modules towards his Breadth or UEM, he/she will take them on top of the 160 MCs graduation requirement.
Illustration:
Student is taking the Minor in Business. He should maximize his double counting by doing the 3GEM/1SS/3Breadth/3UEM combination.
