Pioneer Integrating three major engineering disciplines, this programme places its main emphasis on the domains of mechanical engineering, electrical and electronics engineering and software engineering. Students will constantly analyse and design complex systems to meet challenges posed by emerging technologies. They will also learn a combination of mechanical, electronics and computer science techniques that will help them design, fabricate, assemble and maintain automation and modern manufacturing systems.
Expect to develop a solid understanding of the social, cultural, global and environmental responsibilities of the professional engineer while gaining high-level technical skills essential in managing modern engineering tasks.

About the ProgrammeÂ
The duration of the programme is 4 years.
In each year there are two long-semesters consisting of 14 weeks of instruction with 2 weeks of examinations, and one short-semester consisting of 7 weeks of instruction with 1 week of examinations. The long-semesters start in January and May, while the short-semester starts in September.
In the months of November & December students undergo industrial training under the Co-Operative Placement Scheme to learn and to familiarise themselves with real life working environment. In addition, students also undertake a research and development project in their final year.
The number of contact hours per course per week depends on the credit and teaching methodology of each course. Each credit is approximately equivalent to 1 hour of class, or 2 hours of labs per week.
Asessments
The teaching and learning strategies and assessment are designed depending on and according to the nature of course or topic being taught or investigated.
