Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)

Aerospace Engineering

The B.Eng. (Aero Engineering) programme is designed to produce Aerospace Engineering graduates for the knowledge-based economy.

The Programme Educational Objectives (PEO) of the Aerospace Engineering Programme are as follows:

1. Equip graduates with fundamental knowledge and skills for the practice of aerospace engineering in a broad range of industries.

2. Enable graduates to achieve their career goals and to pursue postgraduate studies with a broad and flexible curriculum with specialized electives.

3. Produce graduates with communication, practical and innovative skills through interdisciplinary courses, group design and project work.

4. Equip graduates with entrepreneurship and management skills, enabling them to take on leadership and managerial roles.

5. Instil in graduates the importance of professional ethics, societal and moral responsibility, and the need to engage in life-long learning.

Mechanical Engineering (Design Stream)

The B.Eng. (Mechanical Engineering) Design Stream programme is comparable to the B.Eng. (Mechanical Engineering) programme, but with a greater emphasis on product and engineering design. This programme aims to train a select group of students to be mechanical engineers competent in the field of design.

This programme has seven educational objectives with the first five identical to the B.Eng. (Mechanical Engineering) programme. The two additional educational objectives are as follows: 

1. Develop skills and knowledge in design specifically in the areas of product design, computer-aided design, concurrent design and engineering, design for quality and reliability, human factors in design and management of product development.

2. Provide additional training in problem solving and lateral thinking techniques required for innovation and creativity.

 

Mechanical Engineering (Robotics and Mechatronics Stream)

The B.Eng. (Mechanical Engineering) Robotics and Mechatronics Stream programme is comparable to the B.Eng. (Mechanical Engineering) programme, but with a greater emphasis on Mechatronics. This programme aims to train a select group of students to be mechanical engineers with knowledge in microcomputers and electronic interfacing.

This programme has seven educational objectives with the first five identical to the B.Eng. (Mechanical Engineering) programme. The two additional educational objectives are as follows: 

1. Provide skills and knowledge in mechatronics specifically in the areas of microcomputers, electronics interfacing, control and computing technology for mechanical engineers.

2. Develop students' practical and innovative skills in integrating various mechatronics elements to enhance mechanical system functions through group design and project work.

Mechanical Engineering (Intelligent Manufacturing Stream)

The B.Eng. (Mechanical Engineering) Intelligent Manufacturing Stream programme is comparable to the B.Eng. (Mechanical Engineering) programme, but with a greater emphasis on Intelligent Manufacturing. This programme aims to train a select group of students to be mechanical engineers competent in manufacturing technologies and systems.

This programme has seven educational objectives with the first five identical to the B.Eng. (Mechanical Engineering) programme. The two additional educational objectives are as follows: 

1. Acquire skills and knowledge in intelligent manufacturing specifically in sensors, processes, actuators, intelligent devices, and communication networks for manufacturing systems.

2. Develop practical and innovative skills in integrating various intelligent elements to enhance the productivity of manufacturing systems through group design and project work.
