EGD110
Communication Skills
[30 hours]
This module gives year-one students a broad understanding of the communication process and the interpersonal communication skills to interact effectively with others. Their oral presentation skills will also be honed so that they can become effective presenters. In addition, the module covers the various forms of writing skills – technical, proposal and report – required in an engineering environment.

EGD111
Computer Programming
[60 hours]
This module introduces students to basic computer hardware and fundamentals of computer programming technology. It covers concepts of software systems, algorithm, logic, computer representation of information, variables and data types, data processing, structured programming with functions and subroutines, decision-making and program flow control, software testing, debugging and documentation. Students also learn to plan and describe program logic using program design tools such as flowcharts and pseudocodes. Its main focus is on the programming with structured C to test program logic and to learn the computerised problem-solving approach.

EGD112
Semestral Project 2
[60 hours]
This module is designed to provide the students with a strong basic knowledge and skills in using the turning and grinding machines in the precision engineering workshop. The students will have a clear understanding of components, which are shaped by these machine tools. Upon completion, the students are able to apply the knowledge and skills acquired to put them into practice.
