Taught Postgraduate
Overview
The Department offers three taught postgraduate programmes leading to the degrees of MSc(Eng) in Mechanical Engineering (ME), MSc(Eng) in Building Services Engineering(BSE) and MSc (Energy Engineering).
The aim of the ME programme is to provide advanced postgraduate education in the fields of energy and power; environmental engineering; material technology; theoretical mechanics; marine and offshore engineering; and computer aided design and manufacturing to graduates in engineering or related science.
The BSE programme provides advanced education in the fields of design, management and operation of modern building services engineering systems to practising engineers or related professionals who wish to acquire new knowledge and keep abreast of technical developments in the building services industry.
The Energy Engineering programme aims to provide state-of-the-art and cutting edge technologies to practicing engineers so that they can implement them in their works. The programme is jointly organized by the EEE and the ME departments both of which are in the forefront as regards research and consultancy in the areas of energy engineering.
All the above programmes are offered in both part-time and full-time modes. For the part-time mode of study, the curriculum shall take not less than two and not more than three academic years of study. For the full-time mode of study, the curriculum shall extend over not less than one and not more than two academic years of study.
Every lecture-based course constitutes 1 module, whereas the project constitutes 4 modules. For part-time mode of study, each student is required to follow a course of study comprising 12 modules, with the option of doing either 12 lecture-based courses or 8 lecture-based courses plus a project. Students who opt to do 12 lecture-based courses are permitted to choose up to 4 courses from other MSc(Eng) programmes in the Faculty of Engineering, while those doing a project are permitted to take up to 3 courses from other MSc(Eng) programmes offered in the Faculty of Engineering. For full-time mode of study, students need to complete a project and 8 courses of which 3 courses can be chosen from other MSc(Eng) programmes in the Faculty of Engineering. Each course involves 30 contact hours. Classes are mainly scheduled in weekday evenings and on Saturdays.
Applicants for admission should have a Bachelor's degree in engineering or related science from this university or a comparable institution.
