MSc (Engineering Design)
Introduction
The Master of Science (Engineering Design) (SED) provide an opportunity for graduates of science background in Bachelor of Engineering, Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Science. The program provides methods, models and tools for mechanical product design and industrial design management system. The MSED program is implemented in modular mode, whereby modules are taken sequentially instead of concurrently as in the traditional master programme implementation. A total of 46 credits are required for graduation, comprising 12 taught modules of 3 credits each and a master project worth 10 credits. The duration of study is 1½ years for full-time and 2 years for part-time study. This programme aims to prepare working professionals in the engineering and other professions in engineering or technology based organizations working for transition into senior executive positions or engineering (or other professional) management roles and to prepare for life-long learning.
·         Program Objectives
