Bachelor of Engineering With Honours in Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Engineering
The Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Mechanical Design and Manufacturing Engineering (MDME) is a three-year direct honours degree programme jointly offered by SIT and Newcastle University.
Through a unique, interdisciplinary curriculum that combines essential knowledge from mechanical design, mechatronics and manufacturing, the programme is designed to meet the manpower needs of local engineering and manufacturing industries. Students will learn fundamental principles in mechanical engineering including statics, dynamics, materials, solid and fluid mechanics, control, thermodynamics, and heat transfer. Following these fundamentals, they will then be exposed to a curriculum that promotes process improvement and innovation which include topics on manufacturing technology, industrial automation, lean manufacturing, statistical process control, and smart production management. Students will learn to work independently, as well as in groups to collaboratively meet and exceed engineering project objectives.
