In the Foundations of Engineering, students study units in chemistry, physics, programming and mathematical foundations (more advanced than the core unit). This is studied over two study periods. Students who have completed the IBCP and had an Academic IELTS score of 6.0 upon entry may receive advanced standing for four modules. The modules for students with such advanced standing are shown as “Single Trimester” in the streamed version of the Program which includes four modules: Advanced Critical Thinking, Research and Writing, Introduction to Physics, Introduction to Chemistry, and Mathematical Foundations III.
