The General Board give notice that, on the recommendation of the Faculty Board or other authority concerned, the regulations for certain University examinations have been amended as follows:
(Statutes and Ordinances, p. 293)
The regulations for Parts IB and IIA of the Engineering Tripos have been amended (i) to amend the nature and length of Paper 8 in Part IB and (ii) to allow for a broader choice of papers by candidates in Part IIA. These papers include those previously available in Part I of the Electrical and Information Sciences Tripos (for which there will accordingly be no candidates with effect from the 2003 examination). The Faculty Board and the General Board are satisfied that no student will be disadvantaged by the amendment.
Regulation 13.
By replacing in the penultimate sentence the words 'either a written paper of two hours' duration, or a written paper of one hour's duration' by the words 'either a written paper of two and a half hours' duration, or a written paper of one and a half hours' duration'.
Regulations 17-19.
By replacing the regulations so as to read:
17. (a) The scheme of examination for Part IIA of the Engineering Tripos shall be as follows:
Group A. Energy, fluid mechanics, and turbomachinery.
Group B. Electrical engineering.
Group C. Mechanics, materials, and design.
Group D. Civil, structural, and environmental engineering.
Group E. Management and manufacturing.
Group F. Information engineering.
Group I. Imported modules from other courses.
Group S. Modules shared with Part IIB of the Engineering Tripos.
(b) Not later than the end of the Easter Term each year the Faculty Board shall give notice of the modules prescribed for the examination to be held in the academical year next following and shall specify the mode of examination for each module. In giving such notice, the Board shall have power to announce restrictions on the combinations of modules that a candidate may choose to offer. In each of Groups C and D the Faculty Board shall prescribe modules whose total duration for written papers shall be ten and a half hours. In each of Groups A, B, E, and F the Faculty Board shall prescribe modules whose total duration for written papers shall be nine hours.
18. Each module in Groups A, B, C, D, E, and F shall be examined either by a written paper of one and a half hours or by a written paper of three hours. Each module in Groups I and S shall be examined either by a written paper of one and a half hours or by a written paper of one and a half hours and course-work.
19. Each candidate shall offer modules whose total duration for written papers amounts to fifteen hours, chosen subject to any restrictions announced by the Faculty Board under Regulation 17.
(Statutes and Ordinances, p. 298)
The Faculty Board of Engineering have amended the supplementary regulations for Paper 8 in Part IB of the Engineering Tripos so as to read:
The paper shall consist mainly of questions on topics in professional engineering activities as shall from time to time be determined by the Faculty Board, and divided into sections corresponding to those activities. Candidates will be required to answer questions from two sections or, in the case of candidates offering a foreign language, one section. In addition there will be a section on Introductory Business Economics, from which candidates will be required to answer one question.
The Faculty Board give notice that the supplementary regulations for the Engineering Tripos, Part IIA, and the Electrical Information Sciences Tripos, Part I, have been rescinded with effect from the same date.
