What is ME?
If you are fascinated by aircrafts and drones, curious about intelligent robots, passionate about sustainable energy solutions, keen to build autonomous vehicles, or eager to create life-changing medical devices, then Mechanical Engineering is the degree for you.
Mechanical Engineering is one of the broadest and most versatile of the engineering disciplines, involving the design, analysis or manufacture of any system with moving parts. Virtually every aspect of modern life is touched by mechanical engineering, from tiny electronic components to huge spacecrafts, and even the human body.
This versatility is evident in the enormous range of career options for our graduates, who may design products, develop processes, or analyse and solve problems in key industries including aerospace, healthcare and medicine, energy conversion, transportation, robotics and manufacturing.
Why NUS ME?

The ubiquity of ME and the international standing of NUS translate to some of the most extensive global opportunities for our students. Immerse yourself in a new country and culture through our Student Exchange Programme, NUS Overseas Colleges, and other tie-ups with renowed partner universities and institutes worldwide. NUS CDE is unique in the world to have year-long student exchanges with both Cambridge and Oxford Universities for selected engineering disciplines, including ME! |
