2. FACULTY OF ENGINEERING & THE BUILT ENVIRONMENT
The EBE FPS is a score out of 100, with the NSC and NBT results making equal contributions. To calculate the EBE FPS score, rst calculate the APS and divide the result by 12. Second, add the percentages obtained for the three NBTs and divide the result by 6. Add the two results together.
EBE FPS = (APS / 12) + (NBT total / 6)
Where:
APS = sum of the percentages obtained for the six qualifying subjects (600 maximum) NBT total = sum of the percentages obtained for the three NBT (300 maximum)
