Double Degree in Engineering
and Economics
Introduction
This double degree programme, jointly offered by the College of
Engineering and the School of Humanities and Social Sciences, aims to equip
graduates with excellent knowledge and competency in engineering and
economics.
Engineering underpins quality of life and
economic activity. It is the art of applying science to create and enhance
technology to benefit humanity. Very
often, the decisions and choices in engineering design, process, product and
innovation are influenced by economic considerations. The ultimate purpose of engineering and
economic endeavours can be seen as meeting human’s needs and wants in the
presence of resource scarcity. Hence
these two disciplines are mutually inspirational and complementary.
With intensifying global competition, growing resource
scarcity, and escalating societal and environmental concerns, engineers of
the future will face increasing challenges to reconcile engineering activities
with these considerations. The combined
inter-disciplinary qualities of an engineer and an economist will be highly
valued in today’s globalized environment where insatiable demand for new products
and processes, as well as increasingly complex economic conditions, are
creating both opportunities and threats for companies and nations.
By having an advanced understanding of the integrative relationship
between engineering and economics, graduates of this programme can better contribute
to the nation’s wealth and economy through the diverse career potentials in the
public and private sectors.
Career Prospects
Armed with two honours degrees - B.Eng# and B.A. (Hons) in
Economics, our graduates can expect more career options in the engineering- and
economics-related industries and beyond. Engineers who have strong
economic knowledge are also better equipped for management positions as they
move up the corporate ladder. To the enterprising individuals, technical
prowess and a good grasp of economic principles are essential for the
sustenance of free enterprises and entrepreneurship.
