The Department offers four taught postgraduate curricula leading to the degrees of MSc(Eng) in Innovative Design and Technology (IDT), MSc(Eng) in Mechanical Engineering (ME), MSc(Eng) in Microelectronics Science and Technology, MSc(Eng) in Building Services Engineering (BSE) and MSc in Energy Engineering (EnergyE).

 

MSc(Eng)(MEST) is to prepare students for the fast-growing microelectronics and semiconductor industry that serves the foundation of modern society. Microelectronics and semiconductor industry are highly specialized with cutting-edge materials, processes, and sciences heavily involved. And the programme is to provide comprehensive knowledge and hands-on training to educate future microelectronics talents for the strong demand from the industrial sectors in this area.

​

​The aim of the IDT programme is to prepare students for the fast-changing world in which innovative design and technology are the driving force of the future. Through this programme, students will acquire essential knowledge and practical skills for developing novel solutions, services or products to help further promote Hong Kong's development in innovation and technology.

 

Moreover, the aim of the ME curriculum is to provide advanced postgraduate education in the fields of energy and power; environmental engineering; material technology; theoretical mechanics; marine and offshore engineering; and computer aided design and manufacturing to graduates in engineering or related science.

 

​Additionally, the BSE curriculum provides advanced education in the fields of design, management and operation of modern building services engineering systems to practising engineers or related professionals who wish to acquire new knowledge and keep abreast of technical developments in the building services industry. The curriculum is jointly organized by the ME and the EEE departments.

 

​The BSE curriculum is one of the programmes in the Target Taught Postgraduate Programmes Fellowship Scheme for 2022/23 intake. A subsidy of HK$120,000 is provided for eligible candidates. For details, please refer to the scheme.

 

​The EnergyE curriculum is jointly organized by the EEE and the ME departments both of which are in the forefront as regards research and consultancy in the areas of energy engineering.

 

All the taught postgraduate curricula offer both part-time and full-time modes of study. For the part-time mode of study, the curriculum shall take not less than two and not more than three academic years of study. For the full-time mode of study, the curriculum shall extend over not less than one and not more than two academic years of study.
