The Engineering Doctorate (EngD)
|
| |
The
Engineering Doctorate (EngD) is a part-time doctorate programme
of typically 4 years duration. Admission to the EngD in Hong
Kong is normally preceded by a Post-graduate Award (PgA), during
which the candidate not only fulfills the requirement of that
award, but is also prepared (through additional development work)
for potential transfer to EngD at a later stage. The PgA will
typically take a year for completion, and if transfer to EngD
is successful, credits for this period of study will be carried,
resulting in an EngD registration of typically 3 years. |
| |
The
requirements of the EngD are met primarily through project
work which may consist of one or more significant projects.
These can cover the whole spectrum of manufacturing industry,
i.e. from management to technology. It is important however,
that the projects have the potential for innovation and are
of significance to the business where the projects are conducted. |

Committment to the EngD |
|
 |
| |
All participants are registered part-time on the degree. It is
therefore essential in the case of company employees that their
day to day work and their EngD project work have similarity. Attendance
on modules varies from two to six weeks per annum depending on
prior qualifications and experience of the participant. In addition,
it is preferable to allow at least one day per month to visit the
academic mentor and to attend individual workshops and seminars
connected with the EngD. |

Assessments
for PgA and EngD |
| |
The PgA requires the successful completion of 3 MSc level modules,
usually within the 1 year registration period. In addition, successful
transfer to the EngD requires satisfactory assessment of a written
assignment, specifically related to the proposed topic of EngD
research. |
| |
The EngD is assessed by means of a portfolio. This is compiled
over the period of registration. It includes post-module work,
but its main content is based on research work. Substantial submissions
need to be made at least once per year. The portfolio and the participant
are examined by a small panel of industrialists and academics appointed
by the University. Graduates are able to use the title Dr. |
