Overview

Mechanical Engineering has been an important discipline in every industry. With the advent of the computer and information technology, mechanical engineering is now playing an even more important role in the development of many new areas, such as life science and micro/nano technologies. The breakthrough in these new technologies is often seen to rely on the support of mechanical engineering. Thus, there is an increasing demand for R&D engineers and managers who have strong background in mechanical engineering.

This MSc course is specifically designed for graduate engineers, R&D engineers, scientists, researchers, and other related professionals who wish to equip themselves with more advanced knowledge in mechanical engineering to face the ever changing world. The MSc course is offered by the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, Nanyang Technological University.

PROGRAMME STRUCTURE

This programme is designed to be taken by part-time or full-time study and conducted on a semester basis. Candidates are required to complete 30 Academic Units, which shall comprise of two options:

Option 1 Three core subjects, five elective subjects and a project on which the candidate must submit a dissertation.

Option 2 ?Three core subjects, six elective subjects and a compulsory subject called Independent Research.

Each subject is covered in 39 hours. Each subject usually consists of 13 lectures of 3 hours each to be held in the evening. The minimum period of candidature is one academic year for full-time students and two academic years for part-time students. The maximum period is two academic years for full-time students and four academic years for part-time students.
