Industrial Engineering & Projects Services

Industrial Engineering & Projects Unit

The Industrial Engineering & Projects Unit, previously known as IPU was established to coordinate projects originating from industry. It also provides advisory and manufacturing support services for staff and students related to applying research and development.

A quasi-commercial approach is adopted. Costing is governed by prevailing Polytechnic University regulations with preferential treatment extended to non-profit making organisations. The major criterion for project selection is the training value to students.

One example is the design and construction of playground facilities for charitable organisations who are only required to contribute the direct costs.

The other example is the design and manufacture of rehabilitation aids (rehabaids) for the disabled.

Participating in the various processes of design and production, students are given the opportunity to acquire REAL WORK experience. They welcome and are impressed by such exposure. Very often, it is their first experience of this kind and occupies a permanent place in their memories.
