Students may obtain the MSc degree upon completion of 30 credit units by following either path of study: (i) 4 core courses + 6 elective taught courses; or (ii) 4 core courses + dissertation + 3 elective taught courses The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering programme is divided into three streams: (1) the Mechanical Stream, (2) the Robotics Stream, and (3) the Nuclear Stream. The Mechanical Stream is designed for students who wish to focus on developing advanced research skills and knowledge in the general mechanical engineering field. The Robotics Stream focuses on advanced automation, intelligent systems, and applications of modern robotics, in response to the booming demands for expertise in the relevant hi-tech areas. The Nuclear Stream is geared toward students who wish to acquire knowledge and practical experience in the field of nuclear engineering, providing opportunities for experiential learning in professional settings. Students are required to select one of these streams at the time of application to the program. |
