Minor in Manufacturing Technologies, MEEM

Background

The proposed Minor in Manufacturing Technologies is mainly for non-manufacturing engineering students especially in business, science, law and humanities. This minor focuses on the learning of knowledge-based manufacturing technologies in manufacturing / engineering services enterprises.

Aim and Intended Learning Objectives (ILOs)

The aim of this minor is to develop adequate academic knowledge and skills in a number of knowledge-based manufacturing technologies that are necessary for graduates to be able to effectively work as a co-worker in the manufacturing / engineering services enterprises. Based on the actual combination of the courses taken, graduates will have attained these objectives:

• Gain sufficient knowledge and skills in manufacturing technologies involved in a discrete products manufacturing / engineering services enterprises;
• Effectively implement and utilize software towards the automation and computerization of "process engineering" and "design for manufacture" activities in engineering and servicing industries.

Requirements for the award

1. At least 15 credit units must be taken from the courses shown in the following table.
2. Students from other departments should take the two required courses (MEEM2003 and MEEM2016) besides satisfying the core course requirement mentioned in (1).
3. An average GPA of 1.7 or above for these courses is required for the award.
4. A maximum of six credit units can be used to fulfill both the major and minor programme requirements.
5. A student who intends to take the minor should seek approval from his / her parent department and the department offering the programme.

* Students from AP and BC departments who have successfully completed similar courses at B2 level or above may get exemption from the requirement. MEEM students use these courses towards their major only and, therefore, cannot use these to satisfy the requirement of this minor.

Note: This minor cannot be taken by students of BEng (Hons) in Design & Technology and BEng (Hons) in Manufacturing Systems Engineering.
To be eligible, applicants must have completed at least one semester of study in CityU, gained 15 CUs and achieved a CGPA of 3.0 or above.

Application

Students are required to submit their declaration of minor request through AIMS under “Course Registration”. Information on the key dates, process and steps for the Declaration of Minors are available in the website of the Academic Regulations and Records Office.
