BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering

  Institution: Segi University

Description

The SEGi BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering is developed to produce graduates who are able to address both technological and societal challenges in the fi eld of mechanical engineering.

Year 1 of the programme aims to consolidate mathematical and scientifi c knowledge while
introducing the fundamentals of mechanical engineering. During their fi rst year, students build a
base-line of knowledge and skills, irrespective of their academic backgrounds; thus, examination
results from this year do not contribute to their fi nal grades.

Year 2 provides students the fundamentals of mechanical engineering with an emphasis on
application to real engineering components. The two mathematics modules during this year
continue the development of students’ essential skills but these now concentrate on modelling and computational aspects.

In Year 3, students are to undertake integrated project in design and research in the area of their
interest while studying more advanced mechanical subjects.

In year 4, students are to undertake a fi nal year project and choose from electives of their interest as well as non-mechanical subject areas like management and environmental issues that are essential for a professional engineer in the modern world.

This programme has been approved by the Engineering Accreditation Council (EAC).

Programme Objectives:

The objectives of this programme are to produce graduates who are:

• Are employable in the global manufacturing industry and other related fields of the Mechanical Engineering.
• Pursues post-graduate qualifications to satisfy a passion for research and life-long learning.
• Participates in continuous professional improvement leading to professional licensure.

Programme Learning Outcomes:

Graduates are expected to demonstrate the following outcomes:

• Engineering Knowledge – Apply knowledge of mathematics, science, engineering fundamentals and an engineering specialisation to the solution of complex engineering problems.
• Problem Analysis – Identify and analyse complex engineering problems, research literature and formulate substantiated conclusions using first principles of mathematics, natural sciences and engineering sciences.
• Design/Development of Solutions – Design solutions for complex engineering problems and design systems, components or processes that meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal, and environmental considerations.
• Investigation – Conduct investigation into complex problems using research based knowledge and research methods including design of experiments, analysis and interpretation of data, and synthesis of information to provide valid conclusions.
• Modern Tool Usage – Create, select and apply appropriate techniques, resources, and modern engineering and IT tools, including prediction and modelling, to complex engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations.
• The Engineer and Society – Apply reasoning informed by contextual knowledge to assess societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities relevant to professional engineering practice.
• Environment and Sustainability – Understand the impact of professional engineering solutions in societal and environmental contexts and demonstrate knowledge of and a need for sustainable development.
• Ethics – Apply ethical principles and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering practice.
• Communication – Communicate effectively on complex engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, such as being able to comprehend and write effective reports and design documentation, make effective presentations, and give and receive clear instructions.
• Individual and Team Work – Function effectively as an individual, and as a member or leader in diverse teams and in multi-disciplinary settings.
• Life-long Learning – Recognise the need for, and have the preparation and ability to engage in independent and life-long learning in the broadest context of technological change.
• Project Management and Finance – Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering and management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member and leader in a team, to manage projects and in multidisciplinary environments
