An MIT Masters AND an NUS Masters (Dual Masters)

Selasa, 08 Januari 2008

In this 18 month programme, students simultaneously earn masters degrees awarded by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the National University of Singapore (NUS).

This programme provides students with the background they need to become leaders in technology-based enterprises, especially those connected to advanced materials. The programme begins with graduate-level classes surveying the fundamentals of materials science and engineering with a focus on applying these fundamentals to real engineering problems and systems. This foundation is followed by subjects that build expertise in specific areas selected by the student and his or her advisor. Students are also encouraged to explore areas of interest outside the materials field, studying entrepreneurship or technology management for example. The programme’s capstone experience involves student participation in engineering projects and technology assessment under the supervision of MIT faculty. Students spend the 1st Fall semester in residence at MIT, taking courses and exploring research opportunities with faculty. Students spend the Spring semester, Summer term and 2nd Fall semester in residence in Singapore, where they continue to take distance-enabled MIT courses along with other MIT students still resident in Cambridge. Singapore-based students continue to collaborate with their MIT faculty supervisor and associated students and staff through regular video-conferencing as well as face-to-face meetings when MIT lecturers travel to Singapore.

The MIT Master of Engineering degree in Materials Science and Engineering requires students to take 5 compulsory courses, 1 compulsory elective, 2 or 3 restricted elective and complete a thesis. The NUS Master of Science (AMM&NS) degree requires the student to take 4 compulsory courses and 4 elective modules. In addition, a student must complete a thesis project through a 6-month industrial attachment with a Singapore company.....more click web site :
