DIRECTOR’S WELCOME
Message from Director,
School of Engineering
Welcome to the new academic semester.
First of all, may I congratulate all our new students for choosing to study in the School of Engineering.
This is the start of your journey towards a fulfilling and successful career. In the next three years, you will be
immersed in a programme that will equip you with 21st Century competencies that will enable you to be
successful in your careers. Our industry-relevant curriculum, well-equipped laboratories and facilities, and
our professional team of lecturers and support staff will provide you with learning opportunities to enable you
to develop the skills and knowledge that you need to thrive confidently in a highly globalised world.
Your next three years in the School of Engineering will be enriching, enjoyable, and challenging. Do your
best to strive for academic excellence, while remaining steadfast to the core values of integrity, respect, and
responsibility. In addition, do not be afraid of showing respect and kindness to those in need; develop a
heart that desires to do good. Remember that these core values apply in the Internet too. Be safe and
responsible social media users. Having these core values will make you a better person, ready to make an
impact in your community and in the world of work.
If you want a fulfilling student-life, then take part in the many Co-Curricular Activities (CCAs) and enrichment
programmes that we have lined up for you. CCAs build leadership and character, as well as enlarge your
circle of friends, and I am sure you will find one that suits you.
To all Year 2 and 3 students, may I congratulate you on progressing to the next semester.
You are now one step closer to obtaining your diploma. Do continue to study hard, and develop skills that
will put you in good stead when you graduate. In our fast-paced world, career opportunities will be open only
to the most competent. Besides developing competence in your technical skills, you should develop creative
thinking, good interpersonal communication skills and global awareness. Do not limit your reading to your
course materials. Read about global events and be concerned about them because they impact us and our
careers.
The rigorous and industry-relevant training which you are now receiving will give you a head-start in your
career or further studies. Besides technical competency, you are also groomed with life skills that will enable
you to communicate effectively, to exercise your leadership ability, and to interact with people confidently.
With this well-rounded education, you will be well prepared to face a highly globalised world.
Should you need help in your work or personal matters at anytime, do feel free to contact your lecturers or
Care Person. We are always ready to assist you.
Finally, may I wish all students a fruitful, enriching and enjoyable academic year ahead.

THE CARE PERSON & THE STUDENT DEVELOPMENT ROAD MAP
ENG STUDENT DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP
As an engineering student, you are given ample opportunities to achieve success in
your academic, personal and professional development in the school. To realize your
full potential, you are encouraged to participate actively in the variety of programmes
designed for you. This student development roadmap shows you how your
developmental needs are provided as you journey through the 6 semesters in the

professional developments in school and will meet you in the LEAP (Leadership:
Essential Attributes & Practice) Care Group interaction classes from Level 1 to Level 3.
LEAP is a leadership and character education programme which consists of three core
subjects, namely LEAP 1, 2, & 3. It seeks to cultivate in you the dispositions (attitude,
skill-sets and knowledge) towards the development of your leadership competencies.

FLEXIBLE ACADEMIC SYSTEM FOR TEMASEK POLYTECHNIC (FAST) /
GRADING SYSTEM
WHAT IS (FAST)?
FAST is the acronym for Flexible Academic System for Temasek Polytechnic. This is
the TP academic system which offers students greater flexibility and choice.
The FAST academic framework has THREE main categories of subjects:



TP CORE SUBJECTS - to develop desired qualities as envisioned in the TP
graduate profile;
DIPLOMA SUBJECTS - to provide students with the necessary technical training;
CROSS-DISCIPLINARY SUBJECTS (CDS) - to provide students with the flexibility
of studying other areas of interest, outside their own areas of specialization, for
personal and professional development.
http://www.tp.edu.sg/about-tp/innovative-teaching#tab2
GRADING SYSTEM
HOW CREDIT UNITS ARE COMPUTED
For all taught subjects involving lectures, tutorials and/or practicals, 1 credit unit is
awarded for 15 hours of work. Hence a subject is accorded 3 credit units if it is taught
over a total of 45 hours, as prescribed in the subject syllabus.
8
FLEXIBLE ACADEMIC SYSTEM FOR TEMASEK POLYTECHNIC (FAST) /
GRADING SYSTEM
HOW GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA) IS COMPUTED

A student‟s progress within a programme will be evaluated on the basis of the Grade
Point Average (GPA). The GPA is a numerical value that indicates the student‟s
academic achievement in the course. A minimum cumulative GPA of 1.0 is required
for graduation.

The formula for calculating the GPA is given below:
GPA= Sum (credit units assigned to subject x subject grade point)
Sum (credit units assigned to subject)

The calculation of cumulative GPA (cGPA) will include all subjects with grade points
(i.e. core, electives, CDS). [Any failed elective subject or CDS which were not
replaced will be included in the computation of cGPA. Exceptions are given to
Certificate Program and Direct Polytechnic Admission students whose three best
CDS will only be taken into computation.

Both Semester GPA and Cumulative GPA will be calculated.

Subjects without grade point (e.g. LEAP, SIP) will not be included in the calculation
of GPA.

EXAMINATIONS & TERM TESTS
Examination Subjects
For all examination subjects, the passing criteria is based on both the continuous
assessment and the examination marks. A student is deemed to have passed a subject
if he/she obtains a minimum of 50% for that subject.
Non-Examination Subjects
For non-examination subjects, the assessment is based on class participation,
assignments, quizzes, tests and mini-projects. A student is deemed to have passed a
subject if he/she obtains a minimum of 50% for that subject.
Attendance
There is an 85% attendance requirement. If you arrive late in class, your attendance will
be computed as ABSENT even though it will be reflected as LATE in the attendance
system. A student who attains below 85% attendance in a subject will be graded as „P‟
(if he/she passes the subject) and „F‟ (if he/she fails the subject). The P grade has a
Grade point average of 1. A student who obtains a „P‟ will not be awarded a Diploma
with Merit and Director‟s Lists (refer to page 16).

elevated insulin levels, abnormal glucose levels and high blood pressure. The BMI is
also a consistent measure that can be used to track an individual‟s weight status from
childhood through to adulthood.
Currently All Year 1 students will have their BMI taken during their enrollment into the

record in their Final Year through online E-survey.

How does Temasek Polytechnic provide our students with this competitive edge?

add value in every client interaction. Since 2006, more than 1,000 students have

What will the UP! Your Service course “Achieving Superior Service” do for me?
In this two-day course, you will learn a common service language and tools to use in
any job. Employers will value your ability to find service improvement opportunities, use
different styles of service for different situations, and take personal responsibility for
providing excellent service to both colleagues and customers.
How can I sign up?
