1. DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAM IN ECONOMICS AND ENGINEERING 1 INTRODUCTION 2 options offered: (a) BEng (Hons)/BA with a major in Economics; or (b) BEng (Hons)/BSocSci (Hons) in Economics. Program is designed to be completed in 4½ years for BEng (Hons)/BA and 5 years for Double Honours. Maximum candidature is six years.

2. DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAM IN ECONOMICS AND ENGINEERING 2 RATIONALE & OBJECTIVES Economics and Engineering complementary both in their intellectual tools and in their objects of study Engineering - innovative and creative application of mathematical and scientific principles to the creation of products, technology and services for the good of humanity Economics - optimal choice and combinations of such systems for the achievement of maximum wealth given the society’s limited resources

3. DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAM IN ECONOMICS AND ENGINEERING 3 Employers will value our graduates' combined working knowledge of Engineering and Economics Conceived first and foremost as BEng(Hons)/BA Double Honours: - an option for only a small group of students - very strong in both disciplines - keen to pursue a significant research (thesis) project involving both engineering and economics.

4. DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAM IN ECONOMICS AND ENGINEERING 4 UNDERLYING PRINCIPLES Requirements of each of the two majors are met; major requirements are given priority over other requirements Each degree has a substantial proportion (two thirds) of modules dedicated exclusively to that degree; Shared modules are carefully chosen and/or designed so that they (i) properly contribute to both degrees and (ii) help students explore the confluences between disciplines; and The program is designed so that students may complete it in a reasonable time

7. DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAM IN ECONOMICS AND ENGINEERING 7 ADMISSION Two routes for students to gain admission into the program: (1) by direct application with relevant “A”-level or equivalent qualifications OR (2) by application in the FoE or FASS at the end of first year: - Engineering students should read at least two Economics modules in the first year. Similarly, FASS students must have read at least two Engineering modules. - Must have a minimum CAP of 4.0 and an A-level pass in Physics (or equivalent) and Maths (or equivalent). An interview may be required.

8. DOUBLE DEGREE PROGRAM IN ECONOMICS AND ENGINEERING 8 EXIT Students can choose to leave the program or Students are required to leave if they fail to meet the requirement of 4.0 CAP in the home faculty for any two consecutive semesters COORDINATION 2 staff members from each Faculty to serve on a joint committee to coordinate the program. Curriculum & Time Table Issues Students may seek the assistance of their own Departmental administrators (Ms Lesley Poong, Office of UG Programs for Common Engineering students).
