Four (4) selected topics in Applied Mechanics, Design and Production,
Materials Metallurgical Engineering and Thermo-fluids will be offered by
senior members of staff. Apart from receiving lectures, a student may be
required to undertake independent study on one or two advanced topics on
each of which he would be required to present as paper for evaluation at the
end of the course.

RESEARCH SEMIARS 1& 11(3 Units Bach)
For each of the courses, candidates will be required to give a minimum of two
seminar presentation on specific current research topics in Mechanical
Engineering. Each candidate will be required to produce a paper in the usual journal format, on
each of the research topics. Papers limited in content to literature review and/or development of
mathematical or experimental models related to candidate's dissertation topic may be acceptable.
