The Department of Science in Engineering offers PhD and Master of Science in Engineering (research mode) programmes. There are two specialisations under both programmes: Engineering Science and Engineering Mathematics. Engineering Science is a branch of engineering that employ various scientific principles and covers multi-disciplinary areas in the research and development of emerging technologies. Typical examples include but not limited to space technology, nanotechnology, optoelectronics, biotechnology and others. Engineering mathematics refers to a branch of applied mathematics that concerns the mathematical methods and techniques used in engineering and industry.

Staff from the Department of Science in Engineering are involved in various areas of research. Potential postgraduate candidates who are interested to study PhD or Master of Science in Engineering under the supervision of staff from the department are welcome to contact the staff personally.
