The Mechanical and Automation Engineering Programme is an inter-disciplinary programme combining mechanics, electronics, control, and computer technologies. Starting from the 2007-08 admission, we offer a B.Eng. (Hons) Programme in Mechanical and Automation Engineering, which emphasizes the impact of modern automation technologies on current and future developments of mechanical engineering. Students with strong interest in research can choose to pursue higher degrees at the Department or other universities. Many of them have entered world-famed institutions, such as MIT, UCB, and Cambridge University, for graduate studies. In the Departments relative short history of 19 years, we are proud to have numerous of our alumni already becoming faculty members at reputable universities in USA, Sweden, Australia, Canada, England, Singapore, Hong Kong and China.

Students graduating from our programme find career opportunities in research, development, and management in high-tech companies in the field of mechanical, manufacturing, assembly, biomedical, aerospace, construction, entertainment, and service engineering.
