The Department of Mechanical Engineering has merged two undergraduate programmes, BEng(Hons) in Mechanical Engineering and BEng(Hons) in Product Analysis and Engineering Design, into the BEng(Hons) Scheme in Mechanical Engineering. Students are admitted to the scheme study together during the first two years and normally then complete their preferred programme (one of the above two programmes) within the next two years. This arrangement enables students to choose their path of study after they have obtained a better understanding of the programmes. There are no quota restrictions on students choosing the BEng(Hons) in Mechanical Engineering and BEng(Hons) in Product Analysis and Engineering Design.

About this course
We aim to educate professional mechanical engineers who are able to use up-to-date technology to manage and solve multidisciplinary engineering problems in various engineering and business sectors.
Students in the programme are expected to:
learn to apply scientific principles and carry out engineering analysis and design to solve challenging problems that are typical in mechanical engineering;
develop the ability to use computers as tools to solve engineering problems;
develop the ability to formulate technical problems mathematically and analyse engineering systems;
develop the ability to select the most suitable materials and methods - safe, environmentally and aesthetically acceptable and economically competitive - for the design and manufacturing of systems/products;
have the skills needed to think innovatively and creatively and communicate effectively in both oral and written form; and
appreciate the ethical and societal responsibilities of engineers, the importance of lifelong learning, concepts of continuous quality improvement and the evolving effect of globalisation on the design, manufacturing and marketing of technical goods and services.
Applicants attaining good results in science subjects (Physics and/or Mathematics) are preferred.
Both programmes have been granted full accreditation by the Hong Kong Institution of Engineers (HKIE) in the relevant disciplines.
After our students have developed a broad and solid foundation in areas such as physics, mathematics, computing, engineering sciences, design and manufacturing, they learn to apply their knowledge and skills in certain disciplines, as follows:
Aerospace Engineering;
Design and Automation; or
Environmental and Energy Engineering.

Course programme
The first year of the scheme adopts the common first year curriculum used by most programmes in the Engineering Faculty. It includes fundamentals in physics, mathematics and information-technology. In addition, enhancements in languages and General Education are also provided.
The scheme curriculum in the second year is common for both programmes. In addition to fundamentals in materials engineering, engineering mechanics, electricity and electronics, computing, and engineering design, enhancements in mathematics, languages and general education are provided. In addition to studying the same academic subjects, students will undertake the same industrial training programmes during the first two years.
BEng(Hons) in Mechanical Engineering
The third and fourth years provide core knowledge in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, materials, design and manufacture, dynamics and control and advanced mathematics, and in-depth studies in communication and mechanical engineering disciplines. Students can choose Elective Subjects in the following technical streams:
- Aerospace Engineering;
- Design and Automation; and
- Environmental and Energy Engineering.
In the fourth year, students are required to complete a final year Capstone Project.
