MSc in Mechanical and Automation Engineering
JUPAS Code: JS4408
The Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE), the Institution of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE), and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) have emphasized the importance for engineers to keep abreast of the latest developments in technology. This is essential to their careers and to meet the challenges introduced by advances in technology. This MSc programme is designed with the aim of providing practicing engineers with the knowledge and capability to use some of the latest technical advances in Mechanical and Automation Engineering, especially related to robotics, artificial intelligent, advanced fabrication/precision engineering, and energy systems.
Specifically, the programme aims to:
- Disseminate knowledge in the latest technologies and tools which are relevant to the careers of practicing mechanical and automation engineers
- Introduce some of the latest design tools, software and practical techniques employed in mechanical and automation engineering
- Provide courses to allow practicing engineers, possibly from other disciplines, to embark on a career in mechanical and automation engineering
