Program Overview

This top-up programme equips you with a solid background and appropriate skills that would enable you to practice successfully as a professional engineer. It incorporates elements of all relevant technologies and their applications throughout the programme. This programme seeks to strike an equitable balance between underpinning academic concepts, practical work, techniques necessary for a successful career in engineering and the demands of employers and professional bodies for this discipline-specific programme.The programme provides you with the knowledge base in the fundamental principles in mechanical and manufacturing engineering in order to facilitate decision making concerning design, the selection of functional elements, materials and processes as well as the appropriate and most cost-effective use of both time and resources. It engenders an appreciation of the underpinning principles and constraints associated with such engineering filed and the application of technology within an industrial engineering context.Current roles within the engineering industries are extremely technologically challenging with ever increasing paces of change and development, and the larger industries predominantly now operate on a global scale. You must be able to meet the challenges presented by the constant search for improvement and the relentless pace of development that characterise these industries. Additionally, the development of your management skills throughout the programme plays an important part in your educational process. On completion of this programme you will be able to analyse, synthesise and evaluate those engineering factors that are required to produce engineering solutions. You will explore the themes of:• Use of general and specialist engineering knowledge and understanding.• Application of appropriate theoretical and practical methods to appropriate application.• Technical and commercial leadership and management at all levels.• Effective interpersonal and communication skills using various media means and resources.• Commitment to professional standards and recognition of obligations to society and environment in accordance with the latest benchmarks.
