Bachelor of Engineering Technology (Hons.) in Mechanical Design (BET MD) aims to assist graduates to become full fledge Mechanical Design Technologist with the required knowledge and technical skills to serve the industry upon graduating. Besides Mechanical Engineering knowledge, students will also have the advantage of specializing in Mechanical Design. Emphasize will be given on components and systems level design to serve the mechanical, manufacturing, semiconductor, electronics, and also oil and gas industry.

Students will be exposed on the required knowledge and skills to produce detail Engineering Design that complies with Engineering Standards on safety, reliability and also environment impact. They will also learn to create design which is highly manufactured able and save cost.

At early stage of the programme, courses are aligned to expose the students to the basic Mechanical / Manufacturing knowledge. In the middle of the programme students will learn Specialized Design Courses which are relevant to the industry. At the end of the programme student will use their design knowledge to create complex design that will be reflected in their Final Year Projects.

Career Information

Graduates will be able to work in vast engineering and manufacturing sector such as Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), Manufacturing, Automotive, Semiconductor, Oil and Gas etc. Career prospects are Technologist in the field of Mechanical Engineering and Design such as Mechanical Engineering Technologist, Mechanical Design Engineering Technologist, Manufacturing Engineering Technologist, Product Mechanical Engineering Technologist, Production Engineering Technologist and Marketing Engineering Technologist.

PROGRAM LEARNING OUTCOME

Acquire and apply the knowledge of mechanical engineering design and technology in design and development of products, components or systems.
Identify, evaluate and propose new design concepts which are feasible, optimum, solve the design needs and also suitable for manufacturing.
Design solutions for broadly defined engineering technology problems and contribute to the design of systems, components or process to meet specified needs with appropriate consideration for public health and safety, cultural, societal and environmental considerations.
Conduct investigations of broadly defined problems: locate, search and select relevant data from codes, data bases and literature, design and conduct experiments to provide valid conclusion.
Select and apply appropriate techniques, resources and modern engineering tools, including prediction and modelling to broadly-defined engineering activities, with an understanding of the limitations.
Demonstrate understanding of the societal, health, safety, legal and cultural issues and the consequent responsibilities and norms of engineering technology practice.
Understand the impact of engineering solutions in a societal context and demonstrate knowledge of and the need for sustainable development.
Understand and commit to professional ethics and responsibilities and norms of engineering technology practice.
Function effectively as an individual, and as a member in diverse technical teams.
Communicate effectively on well-defined engineering activities with the engineering community and with society at large, by being able to comprehend the work of others, document their own work, and give and receive clear instructions.
Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of engineering management principles and apply these to one’s own work, as a member or leader in a technical team and to manage projects in multidisciplinary environments.
Recognise the need for and have the ability to engage in independent updating in the context of specialised technical knowledge
