Programme Structure
There
are two programme structures a graduate student can opt for, subject to the
advice, recommendation and approval of the graduate committee.
With Thesis - Coursework and Thesis
Candidates
are required to complete minimum 9 credits coursework for Master degree and 12
credits coursework for PhD degree. The courses are according to the field of
specialisation. Candidates are required to give a seminar on his/her research
topic and current achievement, and undertake a research project, submit a
thesis and defend the thesis before an examining committee.
Without Thesis - Two new

Fields of Study (Master of Science and PhD Degrees)
Manufacturing Systems Engineering
This field of study provides students with the ability to
design and analyse efficient manufacturing systems such as fabrication,
assembly, testing system, etc., by optimizing the use of available resources
including materials, labour, machine tools, process and control devices, and
their integration into production facilities.
Mechanical Engineering
This field of study emphasises on research and courses
that cover advanced thermo and fluid dynamics, energy and combustion systems,
vibration, power, solid mechanics, heat transfer, and other applied mechanics.
Material Engineering
This
field of study expands on the scientific
principles that explain how a material performs with relationship to its
structure/composition. Investigation on the properties of materials – chemical,
physical and mechanical is vital in order to understand how a material can be
used and why it could fail. Production of superior and novel materials
or composites could be realized using new processes for applications in the
field of constructions, mechanical components, automotive, communication and
aeronautical.
Industrial Engineering
This
field of study emphasises on the design, improvement and installation of
integrated systems of people, material, information, equipment and energy. It
draws upon specialized knowledge and skills in the mathematical, physical and
social sciences, together with the principles and methods of engineering
analysis and design to specify, predict and evaluate the results to be obtained
from such systems.
