The course code system of a course unit will have a code in the format as CST XYZ-n where ‘X’ is the year of study, ‘Y’ as subject area, and ‘Z’ as the course number for each subject area. For all codes, ‘n’ will carry the credit allocation of the course unit. Separate numbering systems were followed for the 100 and 200 level subject areas (Y) compared to 300 and 400 level subjects(Y). For each specialization area (Y), two digits were assigned where the lower digit denotes the first semester courses in that particular specialization and the second digit for the second semester course units.

The following digits were assigned for subjects offered at 100 and 200 levels;

Mathematics – 0
Statistics – 1
Biology – 2
Chemistry – 3
Engineering – 4
Physics – 5

The following digits were assigned for subjects offered at 300 and 400 levels;

Mathematics – 0
Statistics – 1
Bioprocess technology – 2,3
Material Science – 4,5
Mechatronics – 6,7
Common courses – 8
Research/ Industrial training – 9
