Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering (BEngM.E.) 工學士 (機械工程)

Motivated by the fact that the prospects for the development of the Mechanical Engineering industry are greatly expanding, the future manpower demands in the related Mechanical Engineering fields will be greatly increasing.
Since the establishment of the Closer Economic Partnership Arrangement (CEPA) policy back in 2006, original design manufacturing (ODM) of all the “made-in-HK” consumer products, involves conceptual engineering design and product research and development, has become the key role of Hong Kong companies.
In the coming years, it is expected that Hong Kong will have stronger needs in the Mechanical Engineering applications such as intelligent consumer products, improved product design and manufacturing, robotics and industrial automation, synthesis and testing of new materials, micro-devices and instrumentation for medical/healthcare purposes.

Entrance Requirements and Admission Arrangements

HKDSE Route

To be eligible for admission, you must satisfy the University's General Entrance Requirements, with at least one elective subject in Physics, M1/M2, Design and Applied Technology or Chemistry for HKDSE students.
JUPAS HKDSE students will apply for admission to the Department of Mechanical Engineering (JS1207). They will enter a major after the first year of study. During their first year, students will study a broad range of Gateway Education (GE), College of Engineering and Home Department specified courses. The top 40% of students [based on (i) cumulative grade point average (CGPA) at the end of Semester B; (ii) no failed grades in any courses in Semesters A and B; (iii) completion of at least 30 credit units in Semesters A and B, including the number of credit units specified by the College of Engineering & respective Home Department for its required courses] will have free choice of the majors offered by the Department. The other 60% of students will be allocated a major of their choice, subject to the availability of places and the selection criteria set by the Department of Mechanical Engineering.

Alternative Routes
Direct/non-JUPAS applicants are expected to have, or to be close to having, Associate Degrees or Higher Diplomas with high grades or credit awards in engineering-related disciplines.

Curriculum

Our Mechanical Engineering programme not only covers essential knowledge areas like engineering mechanics, materials engineering, mechanical product design, mechatronics, dynamics and controls, and thermal fluids, but also focuses on future societal needs:
