Shared subjects

What BCE shares with the other programmes

With BCT: 4 courses under the same code

Engineering Mathematics I (ENSH 101), Computer Programming (ENCT 101), Engineering Mathematics II (ENSH 151) and Engineering Mathematics III (ENSH 201).

With BEI: 4 courses under the same code

Engineering Mathematics I (ENSH 101), Computer Programming (ENCT 101), Engineering Mathematics II (ENSH 151) and Engineering Mathematics III (ENSH 201).

Civil also teaches Physics, Engineering Drawing, Numerical Methods, Communication English, Probability and Statistics and Engineering Economics with the same outline under its own course codes, so a student who changes programme keeps more common ground than the codes suggest.

Quick answers

BCE syllabus questions

How many credits is the IOE BCE degree?

The IOE BCE curriculum carries 151 credits over eight semesters, between 10 and 25 credits a semester. Years I to III account for 123 of them.

How many subjects are in the BCE syllabus?

IOE lists 49 courses across the eight semesters. The syllabus for 41 of them, Semesters 1 to 6, is published, and the elective slots in Year III offer 16 options. The 8 Year IV courses are listed with credits and marks but without a syllabus so far.

How are BCE subjects marked?

All 45 theory subjects are marked 40 internal and 60 in the IOE final examination, which lasts 3 hours for most papers. Practical work is assessed internally, and 3 courses have a separate practical final. The full split for every subject is in the semester tables on this page.

Is the Year IV BCE syllabus published?

Not as of 30 September 2026. IOE lists the 8 Year IV courses, among them Operations Research and Project and Construction Engineering, with their credits and marks, but has not released their syllabi. ICE will add them to this page and to the handbook when IOE publishes them.

Where can I download the BCE syllabus PDF?

On this page. The ICE handbook puts every published BCE syllabus, Semesters 1 to 6, in one 218-page PDF with a contents page, and the syllabus pages inside it are IOE's own, unchanged. IOE's curriculum page links each course's syllabus separately.

Which BCE subjects are shared with other programmes?

4 subjects carry the same course code in BCT, and 4 subjects carry the same course code in BEI. 4 are common to all three ICE programmes: Engineering Mathematics I, Computer Programming, Engineering Mathematics II and Engineering Mathematics III.

IOE's syllabus is the authority

Credits, hours and marks on this page are taken from IOE's curriculum structure for BCE, and the chapters from IOE's own syllabus PDFs, checked on 30 September 2026. Where the two disagree, as in a few chapter hours, this page shows the syllabus outline. If IOE revises a course, its page is what counts. Open IOE's BCE curriculum page.
