We are current moving from Industry 4.0 and stepping into the Fifth Industrial Revolution, at the confluence of a number of disruptive trends.
Industry 5.0 will lead to Society 5.0 which shall attempt to balance economic development with resolving societal and environmental problems.
Industry 5.0 promises that organisations will become human-centric and shall make use of systems which are resilient, sustainable, and virtual. Hence, our department has recently embarked on two new programmes in Renewable Energy and Blockchain Technologies and Business Applications to ensure a highly skilled and knowledgeable workforce. We shall continue to rely on our two BEng (Hons) Electronic Engineering and Telecommunication Engineering programmes along with our popular MSc Computer Science with Emerging Technologies.
The Department will endeavour to keep abreast with the latest technological trends and we are planning to develop programmes in fields such as Quantum Computing, Bio-Medical Engineering and Hyper Intelligent Networking fields in the near future.
Our departmental academic staff include two Registered Professional Engineers to support the Washington Accord initiative as well as two Professors to provide an ideal blend of Academia, Research and Industry.
