Design systems to boost industrial productivity. The Industry 4.0 specialisation will equip students for the digitalised industry and the challenges associated.<\/p>\n<p>The Fourth Industrial Revolution, Industry 4.0, is revolutionising manufacturing processes by integrating operation and information technologies with the aim of increasing productivity. The advent of Industry 4.0 and availability of Big Data have transformed how industries manage operations, maintenance, and productivity. Sensor data generated from IoT-powered manufacturing systems enable the use of data analytics and machine learning for system health monitoring and optimisation.<\/p>\n<p>The advent of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is transforming production plants into cyber physical systems that generate Big Data throughout the operational life cycle. The large amounts of data and interconnectivity among machineries have led to new opportunities and challenges for the manufacturing industry. Digitalisation, a key component of Industry 4.0, achieves production optimisation through real-time monitoring of asset performance, data analytics and predictive maintenance.<\/p>\n<h3>Structure of the Programme<\/h3>\n<p>You spend the first two years building a solid foundation in engineering. Specialisation starts from Stage 3.

There is no integrated programme that brings together these areas. The programme is also targeted at engineering from various disciplines and focuses on practical applications.<\/p>\n<p>With the specialisation, students will have basic knowledge with their University-wide and respective department requirements in the first two years. The Industry 4.0 specialisation is aimed to expose students to various relevant areas and prepare them for the fast-changing industry with digitalisation. The specialisation will enable the students to work in Industry 4.0 relevant areas.<\/p>\n<p>The target industries are widespread due to the various areas related to Industry 4.0. The industries include advanced engineering sectors, manufacturing, healthcare, and service industries. Relevant job scopes include industrial automation, robotics, IoT, technology development, engineering support and preventive maintenance, new product development and process development.<\/p>\n<h3>Admission Requirements<\/h3>\n<p>The Industry 4.0 specialisation is aimed to prepare future ready graduates where digitalisation is transforming industries. With exposures along Industrial Automation, Internet of Things, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Deep Learning, the programme will ready the workforce for high-tech industries in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p>You may apply for admission at the point of entry into the NUS BEng programmes in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering or Chemical Engineering. You may also apply later in Stage 3 of your studies, subject to places being available and meeting a minimum CAP of 3.5. Your selection to and continuation in the specialisation is based on overall merit, as well as your aptitude in related foundational modules.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Admissions Admission Requirements Scholarships &amp; Financial Aid FAQ Overview Videos Programme Brochures BEng (Mechanical Engineering) What is ME?
