The School of MSE also has an excellent history of turning innovative ideas into commercial successes. Many of our research efforts have received international recognition and attracted multi-million dollar grants from local and overseas organisations. To encourage innovation amongst our students, the MSE Ian Ferguson Innovation Challenge is held annually to spur innovative thinking and prototype development.

Degree Programme in materials Engineering

Materials Engineering is a discipline that is broadly based on chemistry, physics and engineering mathematics. Here, you will learn the basic structure and properties of materials and understand how they can be processed and modified to make the products of modern technology more durable, faster, lighter and better suited to human needs.

In addition, you will get to discover and learn about nanomaterials for biomedical applications, environmental and sustainable energy applications, advanced functional materials for defence systems and sports applications, flexible and nanoelectronic materials for future smart technologies, and many more.

Did You Know?

Chair of MAE, Prof Louis Phee, won the prestigious President’s Science and Technology Award in 2012 for inventing

MASTER, the world’s first robotic flexible endoscopy system for no-scar surgeries.

MAE’s Mechanical Engineering discipline was ranked 12th in the world, according to 2014 QS World University

Rankings by Subject.

If you’ve always aimed for the stars, the study of mechanical and aerospace engineering might just be the ticket you seek. mechanical engineers are the drive behind power-generating devices from engines to turbines, elevators and robots. Aerospace engineers are the lift behind aviation, defence systems and space exploration. Challenge new frontiers of possibilities at NTU school of mechanical and Aerospace Engineering (mAE).

In this rapidly transforming technological landscape, it is essential for students to know how to exploit the advances in robotics, nanotechnology, aerospace, life sciences and more. Through state-of-the-art facilities for teaching and research, the School of MAE opens many doors of opportunities for students to enhance their learning experiences while contributing to the development of future technologies.

At the School of MAE, students will get to work on projects that include solar powered vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles; robots and intelligent systems for new-generation manufacturing; biomedical sensors, actuators and other life-saving systems; micro-electromechanical systems; information storage systems; microprocessor-driven consumer products and energy systems.

In addition, students will undergo a 20-week professional internship programme with prestigious companies such as Rolls-Royce International, which will allow them to experience professional working environments and gain valuable practical experience.

The School of MAE offers two degree programmes: Mechanical Engineering and Aerospace Engineering.

Degree Programme in Aerospace Engineering

This programme equips students with specialty training and tools, allowing them a seamless entry into the challenging aerospace industry. Under the Aerospace Engineering degree programme, students will acquire knowledge in areas such as Aerodynamics, Aircraft Design and Aircraft Propulsion.

Industry/Career
