Bachelor + Master (4+1) Programs

What is the 4+1 Program?

The 4+1 Pathway is a fast-track academic structure that allows qualified undergraduate students to continue seamlessly into the Master of Engineering in AI-Integrated Engineering, completing both degrees within five years.

• 4 years in your home department (e.g., Mechanical, Civil, Environmental, etc.)
• 1 extra year to complete the AI-Integrated Master’s degree
• Integrated coursework, capstone, and research planning
• Saves time and tuition while preparing you for AI-driven innovation

Why Choose the 4+1 Program?

This pathway ensures that:

• You maintain full professional depth in your core engineering field
  • You will graduate from your home department (e.g., Civil, Chemical, Mechanical) as a full-fledged engineer.
• You gain real, hands-on AI expertise
  • Not just using tools — you will build models, write code, and solve real problems under guidance from AI experts in Computer Engineering.
• You upgrade your profile to match the demands of the modern engineering workforce
  • AI-literate engineers are in high demand across all fields — from energy and manufacturing to infrastructure and smart cities.
• You enjoy interdisciplinary learning
  • Study and collaborate across departments with peers from different AI+X Engineering tracks.

How It Works

The detailed study plan for each track will be available soon. You can see the descriptions for the AI core electives. Also see the information of the Master of Engineering in AI-Integrated Engineering program.

Who Is This For?

• Students who are ambitious and want to go beyond a traditional B.Eng.
• Those who want to lead AI transformation in their industries
• Learners who want to combine engineering with data, algorithms, and intelligence

Admission to Year 5 (Master’s)

To continue into the Master’s year, you must:

• Meet GPA and academic readiness requirements
• Complete required undergraduate AI electives
• Propose a capstone project aligned with your master’s thesis or applied AI project

Admission is selective and competitive, ensuring that only committed students proceed.

Long-Term Benefits

• Dual credential: B.Eng. (your major) + M.Eng. (AI-Integrated Engineering)
• High employability in AI + Engineering roles
• Opportunities in smart cities, advanced manufacturing, robotics, and sustainability sectors
• Smooth transition into Ph.D. or research roles (if desired)
