The School of Engineering has developed an M.Sc. programme for engineering and technology graduates working in industry/commerce.
Aims
To provide more advanced expertise and skills in applying advanced tools, techniques, methodologies and technologies for graduates already working.
Entry Requirements
Pass degree in Engineering/Technology and at least 3 years relevant working experience.
Course Structure and Duration
Students must complete 4 modules (one per semester) and a major (industry-based) project. Under ACCS, students may enter the programme in September or February.
Modules and Project
Currently modules (5 hours per wk. for 15 wks. i.e. one module per semester) on offer are:
Computer Vision, The CAD Database and CAM, Advanced Process Control, Newal Processing, UNIX and Engineering Applications, Advanced Sensors and Industrial Applications, Digital Signal Processing, Read-time Systems Engineering in C, Robotics and Industrial Applications. Candidates can propose module titles to further customize their training needs for their employers. The project will involve on a real industry-based project or problem requiring solution.
