机械工程
定义:
机械工程是运用力学、液流、热力学、电子、计算及物料性质的理论,以设计及制造各类型的机械制品及系统,如发动机、机器、仪器、消费品及机械、热力、水力或传热系统。随着科技的日新月异;电脑辅助设计及电脑辅助制造技术已广泛地被采用。一般来说,机械工程师会专注某一方面的工作,例如热传、水力、电机、电子机械,机器人制造、空气调节、冷藏、升降机与电梯,或某类特定的制品如机器,推进系统、机器人及机动仪器等。
课程设置:
· 静力学及动力学 (statics and dynamics);
· 固体力学及材料强度学 (solid mechanics and strength of materials);
· 量度及仪器 (instrumentation and measurement);
· 热力学、传热、能量转换、冷却及空气调节(thermodynamics, heat transfer, energy conversion, and refrigeration/air conditioning);
· 流体力学及流体动力学(fluid mechanics/fluid dynamics);
· 机构设计(mechanism design, including kinematics and dynamics);
· 制造技术或过程(manufacturing technology or processes);
· 液压学和气动学(hydraulics & pneumatics);
· 工程设计(engineering design)
· 机电整合及控制理论(mechatronics and/or control theory);
· 工程绘图、电脑辅助设计(CAD)、电脑辅助制造(CAM)、固体塑模(Solid Modelling)
就业方向:
制造及服务业均需求大量曾接受专门训练的机械工程师及技术员。虽然新科技导致生产程序自动化及电脑化,但大部份与工业营运及仪器制作有关的程序,仍是以机械原理为依归。
