What will I learn?
The aim of this master program is to provide students with specialized skills in mechanical engineering technology, catering to the growing needs of the mechanical engineering industry. This master’s qualification will equip you with the necessary skills to address the demands of the modern mechanical engineering industry. Students with a background in mechanical, mechatronics, materials, industrial, production, manufacturing, robotics, instrumentation & control, agriculture, marine, mining, oil & gas, aeronautical, aerospace, chemical, process, plant, automobile and renewable engineering will be particularly well-placed to benefit from this program as it is designed to prepare you for further career development in the mechanical design and maintenance industries. Upon completion of this program, you will gain skills and knowledge in the latest and developing technologies in mechanical engineering. The Master of Engineering (Mechanical) is a comprehensive two-year program that includes 12 units, each dedicated to crucial aspects of mechanical engineering. These units cover design, failure analysis, materials, heat transfer, hydraulics, pneumatics, fluid machines, process engineering, advanced fluid dynamics, gas turbines, advanced manufacturing, industrial automation, computer aided design and manufacturing, finite element method, aerodynamics, data analytics and green energy technologies. The curriculum is crafted to enhance your existing knowledge while introducing sophisticated concepts and techniques relevant to modern mechanical engineering. The program emphasizes the core competencies and skills necessary for mechanical engineers, equipping you with the expertise in mechanical engineering technology and maintenance essential for industry demands. This degree aims to instil confidence and proficiency in graduates, preparing them to excel as professional mechanical engineers. A key component of the program is a capstone Project Thesis, which synthesizes the knowledge gained throughout the course. This project not only deepens your understanding but also enhances your creativity and design-thinking skills, qualities highly valued by employers. Graduates will have a competitive edge in the job market, well-prepared to engage with employers, clients, consultants, and peers. The final Project Thesis requires significant personal autonomy and accountability, reinforcing the skills and knowledge developed in earlier units. This research project promotes critical evaluation, creativity, and initiative, allowing you to critically assess current practices in the mechanical engineering field.
