Note:

  • In a semester system, courses are normally defome in terms of credit hours. Some courses have further sub-division into theory and lab work. One credit hour of theory is normally equal to one lecture hour in the class room per week semester. One credit hour of lab work, however, is equivalent to three contect hours in the lab per week per semester.
  • Courses with prerequisites can only be registered if the prerequisite courses have been passed.
