Engineer your way to success

-

aLMOST every industry requires mechanical engineers as they are needed to operate machinery, fabricate equipment and are essential in the manufactur­ing of various products.

Mechanical engineers are also needed to design, develop and maintain building facilities such as lighting, air-conditioni­ng and fire-fighting equipment. Airplanes will not fly and ships will not float if they are not properly designed, manufactur­ed or maintained by mechanical engineers.

SEGi University Group offers the Bachelor of Engineerin­g (Honours) in Mechanical Engineerin­g, a 3+0 programme in partnershi­p with University of Sunderland, the United Kingdom, which was shortliste­d for University of the Year in the Times Higher Education Awards 2012.

The programme is managed and quality assured through the University of Sunderland’s standard processes. Modules are overseen by a Module Studies Board and each year the module leader provides a brief report on the delivery of the module, identifyin­g strengths and areas for developmen­t.

Student achievemen­t, including progressio­n between levels and degree classifica­tion, is kept under review.

The learning strategy for this programme adheres to the university’s teaching and learning strategy document.

Within all levels of the programmes, students gain experience in a wide range of different approaches to learning, from traditiona­l lectures and tutorials to directed study and online resources.

The modules are delivered using a variety of relevant and appropriat­e learning experience­s, including formal lectures, tutorials, case studies, software learning and directed reading.

This programme equips students with the ability to understand engineerin­g concepts and techniques used to analyse engineerin­g systems, as well as the processes used for the synthesis of solutions to engineerin­g problems.

Students will need to demonstrat­e their knowledge and understand­ing to an increasing­ly complex and realistic range of engineerin­g systems.

A range of learning and teaching methods appropriat­e to the situation will be used to encourage understand­ing, develop skills and abilities and to motivate students.

Students will also be exposed to a range of practical engineerin­g skills, including the safe use of hand and machine tools and visits to factories and multi-national companies.

This hands-on experience of basic manufactur­ing methods will give a direct appreciati­on of the “process capability” of such methods.

Hand drawing skills and draughting convention­s will be taught and students will use the latest engineerin­g software in the market to support their studies.

The programme is available at three SEGi campuses.
