Our vision is to be the best to educate the best. We aim to provide world-class education for: 1) technical experts; 2) technical managers; in order to produce leaders, entrepreneurs, innovators to meet the needs of current and future manufacturing industries.
Manufacturing Engineering can be defined as the transformation of raw materials into useful products through the most economical and competitive methods, making full use of the scientific principles and innovative designs to gain wide-spread acceptance.
Manufacturing technologies are currently undergoing rapid changes due to the short technology cycle of about three years. Therefore, our graduates should have a life-long learning attitude ingrained in their minds, and equipped with the latest skills in material science, physics, chemistry, mechanical engineering, industrial engineering, and health and safety regulations, with a dose of engineering management for rapid advancement. We strive to be the hub of manufacturing science and technology in the Asian Pacific region.
About our programs
With its roots in manufacturing engineering, MEEM consists of two foundation disciplines: mechanical engineering and industrial engineering. The curriculum design, therefore, should be traceable to one of the foundation disciplines with appropriate courses introduced from other disciplines. Over the past decade, prompted by the increasing concentration of manufacturing sites in Asia Pacific, the need for engineering talents and management expertise has witnessed tremendous growth. Therefore, our education evolves to be more comprehensive such as introducing management concepts, logistics and operations skills.
The Department offers five full-time Bachelors of Engineering programs: Manufacturing Systems Engineering (BEMSE), Mechatronic Engineering (BEMTE), Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (BEIEEM), e-Logistics and Technology Management* (BEELTM). A new undergraduate degree programme in "Bachelor of Engineering (Hons) in Total Quality Engineering" (BETQE) will have its first intake in 2009 to meet the increasing needs for quality experts and inspectors The aim of Total Quality Engineering is to address the issue of quality control and assurance in international trade, focusing on safety, health and environment (HSE) consequences of products. TQE combines total quality management concept and the HSE compliance requirement. TQE ensures that all products are of certain quality with no health, safety and environmental risks. In essence, it is almost zero-defect manufacturing, one step further than average quality engineering which meets certain minimum standards only.
Our two master’s degree programs: MSc in Engineering Management and MSc in Enterprise Technology and Management are designed to help engineers advance to a higher level with a global perspective, leadership and innovation. Our professional doctorate program, Engineering Doctorate (Engineering Management) aims to develop students’ creative and innovative thinking and global engineering management skills to meet the long-term strategic needs of their organizations.
