System [90 hours]
This module provides students with the fundamental concepts of manufacturing information system in production planning and control, and the knowledge of utilising various established tools and techniques, and computer-based manufacturing systems to perform production planning and control activities in a manufacturing enterprise. Topics include Material Requirements Planning (MRP), Manufacturing Resource Planning (MRP II) and Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturing.

EG2124
Engineering Mechanics 2 [45 hours]
This module builds on the foundation of Engineering Mechanics I and covers more practical and complex mechanical analysis. The topics covered include various concepts of solid mechanics and dynamic behavior of physical bodies in motion. Students should be able to appreciate, analyse and utilise their knowledge to solve real-life problems related to engineering applications upon completion of this module.

EG2205
Semestral Project 3 [45 hours]
Structured along the same approach for the Semestral Project series, this module aims to explore and develop students’ abilities in applying techniques/skills and knowledge to fulfill a particular problem. Specialised themes shall be given where students are expected to complete and present their solutions using Information Technology.

EG2089
Engineering Mathematics 2C [60 hours]
The subject aims to provide the foundation on Fourier series. In addtion, statistics will be taught to develop students' skills in solving engineering problems using statistical analysis.

EG2004
Automatic Control [90 hours]
This module aims to equip students with the application knowledge of pneumatics and electro-pneumatic control and programmable logic control in automatic control systems. Pneumatics and electro-pneumatic control cover the studies of electrical, compressed air and hydraulic supply/distribution systems, sensors, pneumatic and electro-mechanical elements, and control circuit design. Programmable logic control includes the studies of automatic control principles, graphical flow charting, programmable logic controller and its application programming. The module is designed to develop the skills of the students through hands-on training using industrial devices and equipment.

EG2134
Computer-Aided-Manufacturing/
Engineering [60 hours]
This module introduces the use of Computer Numerical Control (CNC) and Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software application. Students will be taught to produce basic geometries with manual CNC part programming, and to generate tool paths from complex CAD models with a CAM software package.

EG2135
Mechanical Design [90 hours]
This module introduces the students to the fundamental concepts and considerations of mechanical design and the design of machine elements. It provides them with the necessary knowledge that is pertinent to basic mechanical system design. The students will be tasked to design simple mechanical systems using suitably designed/selected machine elements and engineering components from commercial catalogues. Case study assignments will also be included. The topics covered include engineering design process, stress analysis, beam deflection, design for static strength, design for fatigue strength, jig and fixture design, cams, and selection and application of machine elements.

EG2131
Metrology & Quality Control [60 hours]
