Explore the Path from Hand-made to Automation

Combining hands-on discovery and analysis allows the students to develop creative solutions to life and engineering problems after completing the Mechanical and Automation Engineering (MAEGN) programme at CUHK.

The MAEGN programme emphasizes the impact of modern automation technologies on current and future developments in the field of mechanical engineering, allowing students to establish a solid foundation in the core principles of mechanical and automation engineering.

The programme also stresses a balanced curriculum in both basic theory and hands-on practice, covering subject areas as mechanics and materials, thermodynamics, mechanical design, manufacturing processes, mechatronics and robotics. Exploring mechanics and materials gives the students a deep understanding of how objects and materials behave under different forces and loads. Studying thermodynamics enables the students to grasp the principles of energy transfer, and studying mechanical design empowers them to create innovative solutions. Furthermore, the students delve into the interdisciplinary fields of robotics and automation systems, in which they learn about the design and operation of intelligent machines, automated systems and robotics.

The programme also offers a range of other learning opportunities to enhance the educational journey of the students, such as exchanges, internships, work-study programmes, research projects and competitions.
