About Our Course (JAE Code: T06)

The Mechatronics and Aerospace Engineering is a common entry point for the

• Diploma in Mechatronics
• Diploma in Aerospace Engineering (April Intake only)

It is designed for students who are keen to pursue an engineering career with mechanical applications, but want to keep their options open to be flexible in mechatronics or focus in aerospace engineering. However students who have decided on the course they like and are able to meet the cut-off points are advised to apply directly to it.

Mechanical engineering is an area of engineering that applies the principles of physics and material science in the analysis, design and construction of machines, systems and processes we see around us.

Background

Mechatronics is the synergy when combining mechanical engineering with electronics and control engineering. This is a modern field of engineering that became the building block of many intelligent automation systems we see and use everyday. The flexibility of mechatronics enables it to be used in a wide range of applications such as aircrafts, cars, computers, robots and even toys.

Aerospace Engineering is the result of combining mechanical engineering with materials science, thermal and fluid mechanics, a field that focuses in the design, construction, maintenance and repair of commercial and military aircrafts. This exciting and highly demanding area integrates aerodynamics, propulsion, materials and avionics to realize man’s dream of flight and made air travel safe for everyone.

Streaming Process

All students in this programme will go through a common first semester of foundational engineering theories and practical skills training to discover their inclinations and abilities.

Students with excellent first semester result will be eligible to transfer to the Diploma in Aerospace Engineering, subject to vacancy limits. However the Diploma in Mechatronics will continue to offer the Aerospace Systems Elective Cluster to students who are keen to work in this industry.

In whichever area they choose, both diplomas offer graduates excellent opportunities in career and further studies in engineering.

Business Management @ Engineering

Get a Business perspective with your Engineering diploma, and go further in your career!

Engineering students will be able to choose from a series of Business Management subjects while pursuing their engineering diploma, and be trained in marketing, project management, and business fundamentals. In today’s pro-business environment, these are skills that will certainly give our engineering graduates a strong head-start in their careers! With the combined know-how of engineering and business management, students can expect more exciting opportunities for their career and further education.
