Aims and Characteristics

Programme Aims and Learning Outcomes

We aim to educate professional mechanical engineers who are able to apply up-to-date technology to solve and manage multidisciplinary engineering problems for various engineering/business sectors.

Upon completion of study, graduates of the programme are expected to:

• Have learned to apply scientific principles, carry out engineering analysis and design to solve challenging problems that are typical in mechanical engineering;
• Be able to use computers as tools to solve engineering problems;
• Develop the ability to formulate technical problems mathematically and analyse engineering systems;
• Be equipped with the ability to properly select the most suitable materials and methods that are safe, environmentally and aesthetically acceptable, and economically competitive for systems/products and their design and manufacture;
• Build up the skills needed to think innovatively and creatively, to communicate effectively both in oral and written forms; and
• Appreciate the ethical and societal responsibilities of engineers, the importance of lifelong learning, concepts of continuous quality improvement and the continued effect of the globalisation of the design, manufacturing and marketing of technical goods and services.

Programme Characteristics

After our students have received a broad and solid foundation in areas including physics, mathematics, computing, engineering sciences, design and manufacturing, they are able to apply their knowledge and skills to certain clusters:

• Aerospace Engineering
• Robotics and Autonomous Systems
• Environmental and Energy Engineering
• Mechanics and Materials
