The Bachelor of Engineering with Honours in Mechanical Engineering is a three-year direct honours degree programme jointly offered by SIT and the University of Glasgow.
The programme is designed to meet the growing manpower demands in many disruptive digital technologies for key industry sectors in Singapore, including industrial automation/robotics, smart manufacturing, maritime and healthcare assistive technology.
Students will be equipped with the knowledge, understanding and skills for mechanical engineering and acquire advanced knowledge in the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), data analytics, healthcare systems engineering and standards, smart designs and robotics/automation, through project-based multidisciplinary learning and direct industrial immersion. Students will have a choice of specialisation in Design or Mechatronics.
Under the Design specialisation, students will learn the concepts of digital manufacturing and design through modules in additive engineering, engineering materials technology, mechanical design and microelectronics for engineering products. Students in the Mechatronics specialisation will learn the special skill sets in IIoT, that apply to automation and robotics, mechatronics design, co-bot design and build, as well as machine learning.
Graduates from this programme will be equipped with sound principles in mechanical design or mechatronics as well as deep knowledge in digitalisation. They will be practice-oriented and innovative individuals with the right skill sets for the future digital economy.
Programme Highlights
- Holistic, Smart and Industry-Relevant Curriculum
- Multidisciplinary and Collaborative Learning Experience
- Eight-month Integrated Work Study Programme
- Three-week Overseas Immersion Programme in Glasgow
Integrated Work Study Programme
Integrated Work Study Programme provides students with the opportunity to undertake real work. Held over the span of eight months, it is designed to be more in-depth than a traditional internship. You will gain real work experience and apply the theories you learn in class with actual practice.
Overseas Immersion Programme
Students will participate in an intensive three-week Overseas Immersion Programme at the home campus of the University of Glasgow where they get to experience life as a student in Glasgow, United Kingdom. The programme itinerary includes library and career talks, academic lectures, research and literature review workshops to prepare students for their final-year dissertation projects, as well as visits to companies, museums and key cultural sites.
