​The Department offers six taught postgraduate curricula leading to the degrees of MSc(Eng) in Building Services Engineering (BSE), MSc(Eng) in Innovative Design and Technology (IDT), MSc in Energy Engineering (EnergyE), MSc(Eng) in Mechanical Engineering (ME), MSc(Eng) in Microelectronics Science and Technology(MEST) and MSc(Eng) in Low-Altitude Technology (LAT).

 

The BSE curriculum provides advanced education in the fields of design, management and operation of modern building services engineering systems to practising engineers or related professionals who wish to acquire new knowledge and keep abreast of technical developments in the building services industry. The curriculum is jointly organized by the ME and the EEE departments.

 

Additionally, the IDT curriculum is to prepare students for the fast-changing world in which innovative design and technology are the driving force of the future. Through this programme, students will acquire essential knowledge and practical skills for developing novel solutions, services or products to help further promote Hong Kong's development in innovation and technology.

 

The EnergyE curriculum is jointly organized by the EEE and the ME departments both of which are in the forefront as regards research and consultancy in the areas of energy engineering.

 

Moreover, the aim of the ME curriculum is to provide advanced postgraduate education in the fields of energy and power; environmental engineering; material technology; theoretical mechanics; marine and offshore engineering; and computer aided design and manufacturing to graduates in engineering or related science.

 

MEST curriculum is to prepare students for the fast-growing microelectronics and semiconductor industry that serves the foundation of modern society. Microelectronics and semiconductor industry are highly specialized with cutting-edge materials, processes, and sciences heavily involved. And the programme is to provide comprehensive knowledge and hands-on training to educate future microelectronics talents for the strong demand from the industrial sectors in this area.

​

LAT curriculum is to equip students with a solid foundation in the theoretical principles and innovative design of low-altitude aerial vehicles and its safe operation. Students will be prepared to quickly adapt to the rapidly developing sectors of the low-altitude economy (LAE), including drones, unmanned small-medium cargo planes, executive jets, engines, fan and propellers, general avionics, and aviation economics, supporting the low-altitude transportation network. They will gain essential knowledge in aerial vehicle design and manufacturing processes, fundamental skills in aerial vehicle operations, and hands-on training in designing and implementing fabrication processes for aerial vehicle devices.

​

 

Most taught postgraduate curricula offer both part-time and full-time modes of study, normally over one academic year of full-time study or two academic years of part-time study, exceptionally for LAT which offer only in full-time mode of study over one and a half academic years. Candidates shall select courses in accordance with the regulations of the degree.
