Bridging Math for ITE Upgraders

ITE upgraders who enrol into SP’s engineering courses will undertake a structured Bridging Mathematics programme. Students in this programme will take additional Math modules to help them bridge the gaps and strengthen their Math foundation. This will enable them to better cope with the demands of the core Math modules in their respective Engineering course.

This programme will be offered to ITE upgraders from the following 15 Diploma courses:

School	Diploma
School of Mechanical & Aeronautical Engineering (MAE)	DARE, DCEP, DME, DMRO
School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering (EEE)	DASE, DCPE, DEB, DEEE
School of Chemical & Life Sciences (CLS)	DAPC, DBS, DCSP, DCHE, DFST, DOPT, DPCS
School of Architecture & Built Environment (ABE)	DCE
School of Computing (SoC)	DIT
Singapore Maritime Academy (SMA)	DMR
