The aim of the Mechanical Engineering major is to prepare students with solid, fundamental knowledge to meet the needs of industries. Our graduates are expected to serve and contribute to a broad range of mechanical engineering industries in their future careers, working for instance as chartered engineers, chief administrators/managers of technical teams, and technology consultants. Some of them may even choose to be entrepreneurs for their own start-up companies.

The objectives of the major are to:

• provide a systematic curriculum that combines education, research and development of innovative technologies and enable students to tackle engineering problems in mechanical related areas efficiently and independently;
• equip students with critical thinking, independent research, qualitative and quantitative analysis capacities. Students can perform high-impact and leading edge research and development for the continuous advancements of both industrial and academic expertise;
• prepare students for professional employment in areas such as engineering design of materials, dynamical and control analysis, automation engineering and micro and nano technologies; and
• nurture students to contribute to the community and professional groups through academic achievements and knowledge transferable products.

Mechanical engineering is a fundamental branch of engineering. It fulfils the rapid demands of the expanding consumer products and infrastructural development markets and other engineering areas such as automation engineering, dynamical and control analysis, engineering design, and materials/product testing. The Mechanical Engineering major will help you to develop a comprehensive and dynamic knowledge-set; flexible analytical and quantitative skills to tackle scientific and engineering problems; independent and critical thinking to develop/enhance engineering products; and integrated creativity and expertise to generate novel product designs to support the sustainable development of industries.

Career Prospects

Our Bachelor degree programme on Mechanical Engineering was launched in view of the great need in the industries. Long-term careers of our graduates in the industries include qualified mechanical engineers, consumer product designers, automotive system designers, “heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC)” engineers, system automation engineers, chief administrators/managers of technical teams, and technology consultants. Graduates can also choose to further study in graduate schools for inventing state-of-the-art technologies. Some of them can even choose to be entrepreneurs for their own start-up companies.
