Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering
1. Program Description |
The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering Program aims to upgrade the scientific abilities and develop the practical skills of the candidate in the field of Mechanical Engineering to meet the academic, professional, and career needs of engineering graduates. These goals are achieved through advanced academic courses and research applications and by using new techniques and advanced scientific methodologies. The program is delivered through a mix of lectures, seminars, tutorials, industrial presentations and visits, case studies, computer simulations, laboratory sessions and project work to enhance learning from a theoretical and practical aspects. The program also places importance in management skills, communication skills, computational techniques, data handling and analysis, problem solving, decision making and research methodology. Many of these skills will be addressed within an industrial context. Assessment is based on a combination of formal examination, course work, case study, research defense, presentation, and reports. industrial presentations and visits to enhance learning from a practical aspect. The Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering Program is a full-time program which is rated at 36 credit hours. corresponding to the work of a full-time student for two-years. |
