Honours Calculation - Engineering

The award of Honours is based on an averaged Grade Point Average (GPA), involving GPA scores from second, third, and fourth year subjects.

For each level (year) of the program, a GPA is calculated by assigning a numerical value to each letter grade that a student receives, and averaging this across all subjects attempted at that level.

(HD = 7, D = 6, C = 5, P = 4, P- = 3, N = 1.5 and X = 0).

The averaged GPA for the award of Honours is calculated as: GPA_average = (1/3) * [Year2_GPA + Year3_GPA + Year4_GPA]

The grade of Honours is determined according to the following table:

Class I              GPA >= 5.90
Class IIA            5.40 <= GPA <= 5.89
Class IIB            4.90 <= GPA <= 5.39
Class III            GPA <= 4.89

The Honours awards are calculated by the Associate Dean, and reviewed in meetings with each Head of Discipline.

The Honours awards are ratified by the Engineering Board of Studies.
