Program Description

The Materials and Production Engineering (MPE) program has been developed to meet the industrial needs though practical training in industries or manufacturing enterprises, which are one of the main educational philosophies.

This Program will cover into 3 majors:

a) Process and Manufacturing Technology

b) Metallurgical and Material Processing Technology

c) Production Engineering and Logistics

This program is designed to provide and enhance the learning experience with in-depth knowledge not only in all three disciplines but also in the solving of management-related problems, the skill of leading and functioning in a project team, and the ability to communicate effectively will be enhanced and strengthened throughout the whole study period. An integral part of the program exposes students to industry-related activities. These are included in a mandatory four-month internship in industry and an opportunity to work on advanced research projects.

Outstanding students may have an opportunity to conduct their internship and Master’s thesis at the well-known industries and institutes in Germany, European countries, and other world leading countries.

Materials and Production Engineering offers 2 study plans

Plan A1 Research Only

This study plan is specifically designed for those who have some industrial experience and wish to emphasize on research and development. The students taking this plan will conduct research entirely for four semesters. Although coursework is not compulsory, they may be requested to sit-in some courses that will assist in their research work.
