澳大新語 • 2025 UMAGAZINE 31 8 封面專題 • COVER STORY several departments, including the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Department of Electromechanical Engineering. These departments offer a full range of degree programmes, from undergraduate to doctoral levels. The undergraduate programmes are designed to provide students with a strong foundation in engineering, while the postgraduate programmes focus on deepening professional knowledge and practical skills. Master of Science (MSc) programmes are available in the fields of civil engineering, construction project management, electrical and computer engineering, robotics and autonomous systems, and electromechanical engineering. Integrating AI into Curricula In response to rapid advancements in emerging technologies, UM is enhancing its engineering education system, with interdisciplinary collaboration as a key strategy. The Faculty of Science and Technology (FST), which leads UM’s engineering education, enriches programme curricula by placing greater emphasis on digitisation, informatisation, and intelligentisation. AI integration and practical AI applications are also systematically incorporated into courses at all levels. These efforts ensure that the educational offerings meet the diverse learning needs and proficiency levels of students. Moreover, all engineering departments are exploring ways to integrate AI and data science into curricula. In civil engineering, for example, FST has launched an MSc programme in construction project management in response to the increasing use of digital twin-based smart construction technologies. This programme equips students with the skills to apply AI algorithms for project schedule prediction and resource allocation optimisation, enabling them to manage engineering projects effectively throughout their lifecycle. Similarly, the MSc programme in electromechanical engineering focuses on smart manufacturing and robotics, leveraging AI to improve equipment fault diagnosis and predictive maintenance. To stay at the forefront of technological advancements, FST is also planning to establish new departments in microelectronics, artificial intelligence, and robotics. The faculty is committed to deepening the integration of engineering education and cutting-edge technologies.
