Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering
|
The educational objectives of these two programmes are:
|
-
To provide the
necessary foundation
for entry level
engineering
positions or further
engineering degrees
by rigorous
instructions in the
engineering sciences
and extensive
laboratory and
design experience.
-
To offer students
the opportunity to
deepen their
technical
understanding in a
particular subject
through a programme
of related technical
electives, or to
obtain a broader
education in
engineering by a
flexible choice of
technical and free
electives.
-
To prepare graduates
who will create new
ways to meet
society’s needs
through the
application of
fundamentals of
engineering science
to solve practical
problems using
design, analysis,
and synthesis of
components, systems,
and tools, and
through basic and
applied research.
-
To inspire
graduates who
will have the
curiosity,
ability and
desire for
lifelong
learning, and to
instil in them
the ability of
critical
thinking and
self-confidence
to adapt to
rapid and major
changes.
-
To ensure that
students are
exposed to the
social sciences
and humanities
so that they
understand the
necessities for
professionalism,
ethical
responsibilities,
and the need to
function
effectively in
multidisciplinary
and
multicultural
teams.
-
To provide an
integrated
introduction to
team work,
communications,
ethics, social
and
environmental
awareness needed
to prepare the
graduates for
successful
careers and
leadership
positions.
