Undergraduate programme

Minor in Analytics and AI

Overview

• The Minor in Analytics and AI will allow students to gain expertise in the current tools of AI analytics in engineering systems. Graduates with this minor will be equipped with both technical depth in their chosen discipline and exposure to the application of artificial intelligence techniques and algorithms to automate analysis processes, analyse and interpret data, derive insights, and make data-driven decision making.

Curriculum structure

Planning for minor study

• This minor is open only to non-ESD students matriculated from AY2022 onwards.
• Students interested in pursuing a minor or minors are required to meet an academic advisor to formulate a study plan. Students who are deemed to be unable to complete the coursework by Term 8 should not embark on a minor programme. Subsequently, students are required to track their own progress towards completing the minor programme(s) as per the study plan formulated.

• Enrolment into all courses is subject to availability.
• The minor will be accorded upon successful completion of the required subjects by Term 8. No extension beyond Term 8 is allowed.
• Both the major and minor requirements must be completed within the normal candidature of the undergraduate programme, i.e. 8 terms.

Eligibility

• Students need to pass all twelve (12) Freshmore subjects at the point of declaring their intention to pursue a minor.
• Students who are deemed to be unable to complete the coursework by Term 8 will not be allowed to pursue the minor.

Declaration and withdrawal

• Students must formally declare their intention to enrol in the Minor in Analytics and AI during the following declaration periods via MyPortal. Students should note that the add/drop period and related policies apply to minor-related and additional fifth subject(s) (if any).
  

  Cohort	Declaration period
  2024 and onwards	2 weeks before start of Term 5
  AY2023	In Week 3 of Term 8
  AY2022	2 weeks before Term 4

• Students who declared earlier but decide not to continue pursuing the minor programme(s), or decide to pursue a different minor, are required to formally inform (in writing) OSA and the pillars/clusters involved. Only requests before the end of Term 5’s add/drop period* will be entertained and such requests will be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. (*Not applicable for students from the AY2023 cohort.)
• Should the student not complete or withdraw from the minor programme, the student’s pillar/cluster may, at its sole discretion, allow the additional fifth subject(s) (if any) successfully completed in the previous term(s) for the discontinued minor to be counted towards the major requirements. Grades earned to complete a minor shall still be computed towards the GPA after the student’s withdrawal.

Grading requirements

• Students must complete all required courses.
• Subjects taken to complete the minor shall be graded and computed into the GPA.
• Unless a minimum passing grade is stated by ESD, the minimum passing grade shall be a D. Non-letter grading options cannot be used for the minor.
• Credits from successfully completed academic units from external institutions can be recognised towards fulfilling the minor requirements upon approval from ESD.
