Introduction
The double degree programme aims to provide a sciencedriven, engineeringoriented education to both science and engineering
students. Why? Understanding the physics underlying material properties and their technological applications will be vital to the
developmentoffuturetechnologicalinnovationsinthefollowingrelevantindustriesandresearchareas:
NanoscienceandNanotechnology;

ii.
InformationandMagneticStorage;
iii.
PhotonicsandOptoelectronics;
iv.

vi.
QuantumInformationTechnology.
ProgrammeStructure&CurriculumRationale
TheMaterialsScienceandEngineering(MSE)programmeisbuiltonthesolidfoundationofthebasicsciences(inthefirstyear)inwhich
Physics is one of the main components. Students from the MSE programme will thus benefit from this double degree programme by
beingabletodelvedeeperandbroaderintothePhysicsdisciplines.Similarly,studentswithPhysicsbackgroundwillbenefitimmensely
fromtheEngineeringapplications,designandtechnologicalcomponentstheMSEprogrammehastooffer(seeTables1and2).Aunique
feature of this double degree programme is the integrated B.Eng./B.Sc. (Hons.) dissertation/Honours project where students will be
jointlysupervisedbybothMSEandPhysicsstaffmembersandtheareasofresearchwillbeattheinterfaceofthesetwodisciplines.
Theprogrammestructurewillallowstudentstoacquireknowledgethroughunderstandingtheinterfacebetweenthetwomajorleading
fields. Graduates will acquire a comprehensive knowledge of Physics and a thorough insight into the current Engineering practices of
newtechnologies.
