The course encompasses the comprehensive study of the principles, equipment, systems, and operational strategies essential to the design, installation, and maintenance of mechanical infrastructure in industrial and manufacturing plants. This course equips students with practical knowledge of power systems, HVAC, material handling, piping, utilities, and automation technologies, while fostering systems thinking and real-world problem-solving aligned with the Conceive–Design–Implement–Operate (CDIO) framework.
Students will apply engineering design and analytical techniques to assess plant performance, improve efficiency, and ensure safety and sustainability. Emphasis is placed on responsible resource management, energy efficiency, pollution control, and compliance with environmental and safety regulations, thereby contributing to relevant UN SDGs, including Goal 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), Goal 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), and Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
Through a separate computational laboratory work, case studies, and project-based learning, students will develop collaborative and professional engineering competencies, preparing them to lead in sustainable industrial systems design and operation.
