These regulations are made under paragraphs 1 to 4 of the Regulations for the Award of Undergraduate Degrees.

In these regulations definitions shall apply as in the Regulations for the Award of Undergraduate Degrees and in the Interpretation Section of the Academic Rules and Regulations.

Bachelor of Science with Honours in Engineering Mechanics, Materials and Design (with Management) (BSCHEMMDM) (See Note 15)
1.	To be eligible for the award of the degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours in Engineering Mechanics, Materials and Design (with Management), a student shall:
	a)	comply with the Regulations for Admission, Registration and Maintenance of Status; and
	b)	comply with the Regulations for the Award of Undergraduate Degrees; and
	c)	obtain at least 160 credits of which no more than 40 credits shall be obtained at Foundation level; and
	d)	obtain at least 40 credits in courses at Higher level; and
	e)	successfully complete the prescribed programme of studies.
2.	For the degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours in Engineering Mechanics, Materials and Design (with Management), the University has prescribed that a student must:
	a)	obtain 20 credits from courses labelled FH in Table 1 (see note 1 to Table 1); and
	b)	obtain 70 credits from compulsory courses labelled CH in Table 1; and
	c)	obtain 30 credits from courses labelled BH in Table 1; and
	d)	obtain 20 credits from courses labelled HM in Table 1; and
	e)	obtain 20 credits from courses labelled HH in Table 1.
3.	Each degree with Honours shall be conferred with a classification of First Class, Second Class (Upper Division), Second Class (Lower Division) or Third Class save that exceptionally a degree may be conferred without classification.
4.	Subject to the requirements of the relevant programme of study, each person on whom an Honours degree is to be conferred shall be assigned to a classification determined by the University according to its regulations.
5.	For the calculation of scores for classification purposes in the degree of Bachelor of Science with Honours in Engineering Mechanics, Materials and Design (with Management), the University has deemed that “Group (a)” shall consist of the best 40 credits in courses at Higher level listed in Table 1, and that “Group (b)” shall consist of the best 40 credits in courses at Higher or Middle level listed in Table 1, where such credits are not taken into account in “Group (a)”. Further, that “X” shall equal two, that is “Group (a)” shall be weighted at twice the value of “Group (b)”. (Refer to the paragraphs on Classification of the Degree with Honours of the Regulations for the Award of Undergraduate Degrees.)

Notes:

Students may satisfy the requirement to successfully complete MATH S112 by successfully completing MATH S282. However, students using MATH S282 to satisfy the requirement 2a) in the regulations may not also count the credits obtained from MATH S282 for HM. Under these circumstances, the credits gained in MATH S282 will not be used in calculation of the classification of Honours.
Courses form excluded combinations with other courses. Only one of the courses of the excluded combinations can count towards an OUHK award. Students should refer to the attached list for details.
Students must work on an Engineering related project in MECH S402.
Students may have only one course from COMP S205, COMP S201/COMP S210 or COMP S258 counted towards the degree.
Courses no longer available.
