MEC202

MEC202 Industrial Awareness and Group Project is a Year 3 undergraduate module designed to equip students with essential knowledge, experience, and skills in engineering product development, project management, teamwork, and leadership.

A Project-Based Learning Module

The module is structured around project-based learning pedagogy, where students work in groups to complete an engineering product development project. These projects span a wide range of applications across various sectors, including automatic driving vehicle, intelligent manufacturing, smart household technologies, and health care Applications. Students are introduced to cutting-edge engineering technologies, such as sensing, actuation, and control systems for intelligent applications, as well as the latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), particularly generative AI.

Various students’ projects, for more details, see Open Project Gallery.

Project Development and Management

In addition to subject-specific technical skills, the module emphasizes the development of project planning and management skills, as well as transferable skills such as leadership, teamwork, communication, and presentation. These competencies are crucial for success in both academic and professional settings.

Industrial Collaboration

The module benefits from close collaboration with local industrial partners, who provide real-world projects that reflect the latest market demands and technological trends in fields such as Automatic Driving Vehicle, intelligent household applications, and Health Care Applications. These collaborations ensure that students gain hands-on experience with industry-relevant challenges.

As a part of this module learning and teaching activity, we offer opportunities to participate in both domestic and international engineering competitions, allowing students to showcase their ideas and skills developed throughout the course.

Our expert teaching team brings a wealth of knowledge and research expertise in all aspects of engineering product development, ensuring a high-quality learning experience.

Students enrolled in this module have achieved remarkable success. For instance, during the academic year 2023-24, they secured over 15 awards in various competitions and contributed to the publication of more than 20 high-quality papers, with many serving as first authors.
