Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering)

The B.Eng (ME) curriculum is typically spread over four years of full-time study, leading directly to an honours degree. The early semesters provide hands-on experiences in foundational engineering subjects, such as design and systems-thinking.

Throughout the programme, you also build a broad base in mechanical engineering fundamentals, which you put into practice through an internship, along with a capstone group design project or an individual research-based project.

You may gain deeper insights into a specific area by choosing one of five specialisations, or experience a different culture through various study abroad options.

Our programme is designed to give you flexibility and well-rounded perspectives on top of technical depth and rigour, so you are prepared for a professional career as a mechanical engineer, as well as for higher studies.

Programme Educational Objectives

• Prepare graduates to have the knowledge and competency for careers in and related to mechanical engineering.
• Prepare graduates to become leaders in fields related to mechanical engineering.
• Prepare graduates to pursue higher education in engineering or other professional fields.

Student Learning Outcomes

Upon completion of the BEng (Mechanical Engineering) program, the students will be able to:

• Engineering Knowledge: Apply the knowledge of mathematics, natural science, engineering fundamentals, and an engineering specialisation to the solution of complex engineering problems
• Problem Analysis: Identify, formulate, research literature, and analyse complex engineering problems reaching substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences, and engineering sciences
• Design/Development of Solutions: Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design system components or processes that meet the specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations
• Investigation: Conduct investigations of complex problems using research-based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of the information to provide valid conclusions
• Modern Tool Usage: Create, select, and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools including prediction and modelling to complex engineering activities with an understanding of the limitations
• The Engineer and Society: Apply reasoning informed by the contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal, and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to the professional engineering practice
• Environment and Sustainability: Understand the impact of the professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts, and demonstrate the knowledge of, and need for the sustainable development
• Ethics: Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of the engineering practice
• Individual and Team Work: Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multidisciplinary settings
• Communication: Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as, being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions
• Project Management and Finance: Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the engineering and management principles and economic decision-making, and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments
• Life-long Learning: Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change
