The MSc programme has been designed to provide the opportunity for engineering graduates to extend and update their knowledge and skills in the area of industrial automation with particular emphasis on industrial control, intelligent control, robotic control, microprocessor based systems and mechatronics systems. The programme covers a range of topics and evolving issues that are of great importance to industrial automation.
Teaching is carried out by expert members of the academic staff and the industry. All lectures, practical sessions, presentations, industrial visits and examinations will normally be conducted on weekends during the fi rst year of the course. Those who successfully complete all the modules will be eligible for postgraduate diploma. Those who are eligible for postgraduate diploma may proceed to undertake an individual project of one year of duration on part-time basis. Those candidates who successfully complete the research project will be awarded the Degree of Master of Science.
