Academic Mentoring Schem Scheme e The objectives of the student mentoring scheme are to help students adapt to undergraduate life and academic study in MAE; to establish rapport and encourage interaction between academic staff and students; to provide a feedback channel for students and to provide academic, study and career advice to students.

Mentors for Year 1 st students udents Each freshman will be assigned a professor as his/her mentor. At the beginning of the semester, students will be informed of their mentors via email. Each mentor provides academic guidance to students and may meet students in groups or individually. Students should proactively seek to meet their mentors if they need help or advice. For more information, students may contact the pastoral care unit (contact details on page 7).

Mentors for Year 2 tto o 4 Students All year-two MAE students will be required to read MA2079 Engineering Innovation and Design (EID). Students will be assigned into groups for their EID projects. Each group will have a professor assigned as the EID mentor. This professor will also be the academic mentor throughout the students’ remaining years in MAE.

Lead Leadersh ersh ership ip De Develop velop velopme me ment nt Pro Programm gramm gramme e The Leadership Development Programme (LDP) under the School of MAE was established in 1998 to cultivate and nurture passionate students with talent and mindset for personal and leadership development as well as to make a difference in the community. LDP seeks to ignite the leadership qualities in every member by infusing them with interpersonal and organizational skills through customized individual and practical experiences. Therefore, our events and activities provide the opportunity for the members to review their perspectives, uncover their innate abilities, and develop invaluable future leaders in their respective disciplines. As part of the LDP family, LDPians have a mutual objective – “Learning Through Serving”, which is to enhance the development of characters and abilities through bettering the lives of others. Furthermore, LDPians were given the chances to be involved in various enrichment programmes such as leadership forums, personal development workshops, as well as local and international competitions organized within NTU and external corporations. Through these exposures, LDPians can contribute back to the society to uphold our objective. LDPians were often the student ambassadors for the School of MAE and representatives of student bodies. Joining the LDP programme allows one to enrich their experience in NTU, brings out his/her full potential and contribute back to the student community. For more information, please go to http://ldpians.weebly.com/ Or contact Nicholas Khoo Hong Li (LDP President)

Overseas Programme Overseas programmes allow students to read courses and/or to work overseas. Earned academic credits will be counted towards graduation requirements. Through such programmes, students will be able to: • •

Experience an international education Develop global perspectives/networking opportunities

•

Experience cultural immersion

•

Learn foreign languages

NTU students who attend overseas programmes will continue to abide by all rules and regulations set by the University/School. NTU students who attend overseas programmes are our student ambassadors at the overseas university. The benefits to the students are enormous but at the same time, there is also a need for students to be able to cope with the challenges associated with overseas studies. Bearing the above in mind, it is necessary to be stringent during the selection of students. Students should not participate in Overseas Programmes in their final year due to Final Year Project (FYP) matters.

Programme Educational Objectives – B.Eng. (Mechanical Engineering) with specialisation in Design The Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) with specialisation in Design degree programme is comparable to the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) degree programme, but with a greater emphasis on product and engineering design. This programme aims to train a select group of students to be mechanical engineers competent in the field of design. This programme has seven educational objectives with the first five identical to the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) degree programme. The two additional educational objectives are as follows: (i) Develop skills and knowledge in design specifically in the areas of product design, computer-aided design, concurrent design and engineering, design for quality and reliability, human factors in design and management of product development. (ii) Provide additional training in problem solving and lateral thinking techniques required for innovation and creativity. Programme Educational Objectives – B.Eng. (Mechanical Engineering) with specialisation in Robotics and Mechatronics The Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) with specialisation in Robotics and Mechatronics degree programme is comparable to the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering) degree programme, but with a greater emphasis on Robotics and Mechatronics. This programme aims to train a select group of students to be mechanical engineers with knowledge in microcomputers and electronic interfacing. This programme has seven educational objectives with the first five identical to the Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering). The two additional educational objectives are as follows: (i) Provide skills and knowledge in mechatronics specifically in the areas of microcomputers, electronics interfacing, control and computing technology for mechanical engineers. (ii) Develop students’ practical and innovative skills in integrating various mechatronics elements to enhance mechanical system functions through group design and project work.
