Any qualification that APU accepts as equivalent to the above.
Candidates who wish to study Engineering Degree course must not be color blind or physically handicapped which makes him/her unable to conduct experimental/practical work and affect the learning process leading to potential errors towards professional practice as well. This is in line with the requirements of engineering professional bodies where safe engineering practices is mandatory. All International Students need to go through EMGS Medical Screening, if the student is found to be color blind; the Medical Screening maybe failed.

PROGRAMME OUTLINE
This programme is specifically designed to provide students with:
- High quality internationally recognised and accredited engineering education through a robust curriculum that is firmly grounded with the fundamentals of contemporary practices of Mechanical engineering.
- In-depth knowledge of Mechanical Engineering principles through comprehensive yet contemporary coursework and hands-on projects coupled with the opportunity to work and gain experience with state-of-the-art facilities that assist in the promotion of deep and well-grounded understanding of mechanical engineering principles.
- The practical skill on how to ideate, plan, design and realise mechanical systems or prototypes through internationally recognised industrystandard software for simulations promoting the opportunity for a seamless integration with a fast moving forward workforce.
DEGREE YEAR 1 |
Students will understand the basic principles of engineering in the areas of Instrumentation and Measurement, Engineering Design, Engineering Materials and Manufacturing Technology. Other modules aim to provide the basic academic skills required to meet the demands of employers, as well as thorough grounding in principles of IT and entrepreneurship. Important and relevant skills for managing activities and for their own independent learning are also introduced.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING MINOR/EXTENSION PATHWAYS
Future Proof Engineers for the Real World
In APU, employment and it’s continual sustainability is of paramount importance to us. The range of minor and extensions offered to all students within the School of Engineering will craft a formidable way forward for the young aspiring engineers of tomorrow. These options allow students to embark on a journey of exploration either within the engineering fraternity by extending into greater depth (extensions) niche knowledge, skills and attributes required for the practice of contemporary engineering or explore wider options (minor) that are pivotal in the fundamental proliferation of the engineering profession as a while when coupled with other current multidisciplinary fields of expertise. Successful completion of either pathways future proof the students allowing them to embark on a journey of rewarding careers within an engineering discipline of their choice.
Minor Pathway – Gain breadth of knowledge by taking 3 set modules outside of a particular major field of study. There are minor packages available undertaken from Year 3 Semester 2 Year 4 Semester 1 and Year 4 Semester 2.
