DIPLOMA IN MechatrONIcs & rOBOTIcs (DMRO)DIPLOMA INMechatronics & Robotics (DMRO)The Diploma in Mechatronics was first launched in 1991 to support manufacturing as a keyengine of the Singapore economy. Subsequently, in 2010, the course was renamed the Diplomain Mechatronics and Robotics (DMRO) to reflect a curriculum that meets the diversifying needsof the complex manufacturing industry. Today, nine of the world’s top 10 control and automationcompanies have established their global presence in Singapore.The DMRO course is a multi-disciplinary study that integrates mechanical engineeringwith electronics and computer technology. It focuses on intelligent systems to enhancemanufacturing processes, including the building of robots.Collaborations and PartnershipsMAE works closely with small and mediumenterprises (SMEs), large multinationalcorporations (MNCs) and government agenciesto design and develop products and services tomeet operational and business needs.Careers and Further StudiesCareer opportunities in the complexmanufacturing industry include design,development, operation and managementof multi-disciplinary systems, ranging fromautomation and robotics systems to microelectromechanicalsystems in the aerospace,semi-conductor and petro-chemical industries.Graduates also have the option of pursuingdegrees at local and overseas universities.Many are offered advanced standing.Course ModulesFull-Time First Year (Common) HoursEC1403 Electronics 60EE3115 Electrical Technology 60LC0541 Teamwork and Communication Skills 60LC8001 Critical Reasoning & Argumentation 30LC8002 Critical Reasoning & Persuasion 30MM1028 Introduction to Engineering 75MM1108 Mechanics I 60MM1208 Computer-Aided Drafting 60MM1305 Engineering Materials I 60MM1401 Thermofluids I 60MS6140 Basic Mathematics 60MS6141 Engineering Mathematics I 60Full-Time Second Year HoursEC1166 Design & Fabrication Project 120EC1405 Electronics Devices 75ET1010 Microcontroller Applications 90LC0514 Communication Skills for Work 30LC8003 Social Innovation Project 30LC8004 Independent Study Project & Presentation 30MM2105 Mechanics II 60MM2406 Thermofluids II 60MM2603 Industrial Automation 60MS6250 Engineering Mathematics II (A) 60MS6251 Engineering Mathematics II (B) 60MS6508 Computer Programming 60Full-Time Third Year HoursEC1406 Circuit Theory 75ET0163 Systems & Control 75MM3029 Robotic Integration & Programming 60MM2809 Industrial Engineering 60MM3105 Mechanics III 60MM3216 Computer-Aided Machining 60MM3628 Programme Logic Controller 60MM3009 Project (15 weeks) 480Advanced ModulesET016M Sensor Technology & Applications 60MM3209 Product Design & Development 60MS800M Higher Mathematics 60210 SINGAPORE POLYTECHNIC PROSPECTUS 2012 - 2013
