FAQs
There are 3 primary engineering specialisations: mechanical engineering, electronics engineering and electrical engineering.
To put it simply, mechanical engineering is a versatile and broad field that focuses on the design, analysis and manufacturing of mechanical systems. Mechanical engineering courses in Singapore typically covers a wide range of topics including thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and material science. Mechanical engineers work on projects such as developing new machinery, designing mechanical components and improving manufacturing processes.
Electronics engineering focuses on the behaviour and movement of electrons in devices and systems. It involves designing and developing electronic equipment like semiconductors, circuit boards and sensors. This field is integral to creating consumer electronics, telecommunications systems and embedded systems.
Lastly, electrical engineering deals with the study and application of electricity, electromagnetism and electronics. It encompasses power generation, transmission and distribution, as well as the development of electrical components and systems. Electrical engineers are essential in industries such as power generation, renewable energy and building automation systems.
Yes, we do! Within the scope of engineering, MDIS students may choose to take up any of the part-time mechanical engineering degree, electronics engineering degree or electrical engineering degree programmes.
These part-time courses are designed to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to excel in their respective fields, while also allowing them to balance their studies with their work commitments. This flexibility is particularly beneficial for those who wish to upgrade their qualifications or switch careers whilst still working.
