Frequently Asked Questions
Curriculum and Programme Structure
- 
  How does stacking to a degree work?
Our BEng (Hons) in Infrastructure and Systems Engineering (via the CSM Pathway) offers a flexible and modular structure comprising the following:
- Two Engineering micro-credentials (covering data analytics and operational excellence)
 - Two Programme micro-credentials (covering the necessary fundamental knowledge and skills for engineering majors)
 - Two Programme Elective (covering specific knowledge and skills for a targeted industry)
 - One Unrestricted Elective (choose either a micro-credential or a set of modules from any cluster for to broaden learning)
 
Relevant micro-credentials that you obtain can be stacked progressively to complete this degree.
In addition to SIT’s micro-credentials, your pathway to a degree will also take into account other prior learning, such as industry certifications or competencies acquired from work, which will provide you with credit or exemptions. - 
  Do I need to take micro-credentials in a particular order?
Although we provide a recommended study pathway for the degree programme, you are not required to take micro-credentials in a prescribed order. SIT will state the recommended baseline competencies an individual should have before embarking on a micro-credential.
 - 
  How long does it take to complete one micro-credential?
It takes one trimester (3+ months) to complete a micro-credential.
 - 
  If I already possess industry certifications or relevant work experience, will these be taken into account during the application process?
Yes. In addition to SIT’s micro-credentials, your application will also take into account other prior learning, such as industry certifications or competencies acquired from work, providing you with credit or exemptions.
 - 
  Is there a time frame to complete the degree?
You would need to complete your degree within 6 years. If you have completed individual micro-credentials offered by SITLEARN, each micro-credential is valid for 5 years when used for enrolling into the degree.
 - 
  I’m interested in other areas of engineering. Will you be offering other micro-credentials?
SIT regularly reviews its curriculum to ensure that it remains industry-relevant. We are looking to expand the list of micro-credentials.
 - 
  What is the structure of micro-credentials?
Micro-credentials are largely taught asynchronously, which gives you the flexibility to learn whenever and wherever you choose. Each micro-credential combines online delivery for topics and in-person delivery for lab sessions and integrated projects. The learning activities vary for each micro-credential.
 - 
  What is the role of the success coach in the micro-credential?
Success coaches will work with you to develop a personalised learning plan. They will provide you with various resources and support services to help you navigate your learning journey.
