MPhil in Smart Manufacturing

Smart Manufacturing refers to the fully integrated, collaborative manufacturing systems that respond in real-time to meet changing demands and conditions in the smart factory, in the supply network, and in customer needs. It is the use of real-time data and cutting-edge technologies to support factories to make effective and accurate engineering decisions and create highly differentiated, cost-effective, and competitive products that match the market needs.

The Master of Philosophy (MPhil) Program in Smart Manufacturing aims to provide students with a detailed understanding of each level of the manufacturing process, combining skills in mathematics, science, and business to prepare them in developing innovative ways of systems design and product production. The program design focuses on providing fundamental knowledge as well as hands-on training in the curriculum. Students graduating from the program will be versatile and well-equipped to derive valuable insights and make sound decisions. The programs will also offer new pedagogical training to prepare research students with specialized and transferrable skills to cope with new manufacturing engineering settings.

A graduate of the MPhil Program should be able to demonstrate a good mastery of knowledge in process engineering, system design, and management aspects of manufacturing; establish competitive advantages for the company, and formulate strategies to meet challenges.
