Streams of Specialization (Notes 3 and 4)
There are five optional streams of specialization: Biomedical Engineering, DSP and
Multimedia Technology, Integrated Circuit Technology, Microelectronics and Photonics,
and Microwave and Wireless Engineering. Students may choose to specialize in one of the
five streams and select the courses as prescribed. A student may choose not to specialize in
any of the five streams and simply follow the study scheme for S7 entrants, S6 entrants or
Sub-Degree entrants as appropriate.
