Micro-Electro Mechanical System (MEMS) Engineering

MEMS stands for "Micro Electro Mechanical Systems", an engineering disciplines and sciences to produce "miniaturised electronic machines". As the smallest commercially produced machine, an entire MEMS is only a few millimetres long, with individual integrated devices and features that are micrometres in size.

The harnessing of MEMS technology enable the birth of pressure sensors, accelerometers, gyroscopes, print heads, optical MEMS switches for optical communications and recently, the bio-chips for life sciences applications. With the dawn of the knowledge economy, the engineering industry will face a shortage of personnel with specialised training in leading edge technologies, of which MEMS engineering is one. This dual degree MSc course serves to equip our design and manufacturing engineers with critical high-level skills and expertise in MEMS design and technology, nanotechnology and bio-MEMS engineering.

This dual degree MSc course is a collaborative effort between NTU (MPE and School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering) and France's top technological university, ESIEE (Ecole Siperieure d'Ingenieurs en Electrotechnique et Electronique). Upon successful completion, graduates will be awarded two master degree: a Master of Science in MEMS Engineering from NTU and a Master of Science in MEMS Engineering from ESIEE.

The curriculum includes an exchange programme where students from the both Singapore and France will have the opportunity to spend a period of time in NTU (Singapore) and ESIEE (France). The first intake of students is scheduled for the second semester of AY 2003/2004, which is January 2004.

Mechanical Engineering

Mechanical Engineering has been an important discipline in every industry. With the advent of computer and information technology, mechanical engineering is now playing an even more important role in the development of many new areas like life sciences and nanotechnology. The breakthrough in these new technologies is often seen to rely on the support of mechanical engineering. Thus, there is an increasing demand for R & D engineers and managers who have strong background in mechanical engineering.

This MSc course is specifically designed for graduate engineers, R & D engineers, scientists, researchers and other related professionals who wish to equip themselves with more advanced knowledge in mechanical engineering to face the dynamic world.

This MSc course is offered by MPE and the first intake of students will be schedule for the second semester of AY 2003/2004, which is in January 2004.
