Course Description
This course presents a range of production processes used in the manufacturing environment, making use of thermal, mechanical, and optical techniques. The manufacturing processes introduced include solidification processes, such as casting methods and forming of plastics; bulk deformation processes, such as extrusion, drawing and rolling; powder metallurgy, sheet metal work, and welding processes. At the end of the course, students are able to select a suitable manufacturing process from a number of available processes, taking into account complexity and reliability, and lot size.

Course Description

The course is concerned with gathering, critically analyzing, and presenting a coherent body of information on an engineering-related topic. The group is allocated a theme and each member of the group is assigned a topic relevant to the theme. The students, operating as a group, are required to research the theme, developing a body of interrelated knowledge and an understanding of their topics. This is accomplished primarily through investigation of the published literature, and by making contact with industry and other organizations. The objective is to collect, distil, analyze and present in a logical fashion, a summary of the information collected.

Engineering Abroad

The laws of math and physics may be universal but how engineering is practiced varies around the world. Taking your engineering studies abroad will illustrate how theory is applied to make better systems and designs that work to solve problems in an international context. You'll expand the necessary soft skills like cross-cultural communication, teamwork, and leadership that will help you become a standout engineer. Learn how engineers in other parts of the world are contributing to industries like energy, healthcare, electronics, and manufacturing in Hong Kong. Gain practical experience devising solutions for waste water management in an environmental engineering lab in Chile.
