The aim of the Industrial Engineering programme is to produce engineers, with broad-based

knowledge and skills in production and service-oriented systems, who are capable of dealing

with the design, analysis, operation, control and improvement of the systems, which provide

goods and services to our society.

The programme provides a sound background in technical topics in the first two years as well

as the necessary non-technical subject areas. In the third year the students are introduced to

a variety of concepts, tools and techniques in Industrial Engineering and Management,

students also undertake a major project to demonstrate their ability to apply the knowledge

and skills acquired throughout the programme to develop solutions to real-world problems.

EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES/OUTPUTS

Industrial Engineering Graduates should be able to:

• Formulate and analyze problems, then synthesize and develop appropriate solutions

and improvements to production operations.

• Design and operate effective systems and procedures for using the basic resources of

production (people, materials, machines and capital) in organizations.

• Function in a wide range of industrial organizations such as banks, regulatory agencies

and other institutions in the context of techno-economic evaluations, project

management and systems implementation.

Industrial Engineers are more oriented to the interaction between components of a system

rather than the individual components themselves. Their professional training is such that they

can function effectively in a wide variety of positions in manufacturing, production and the

service industries.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING (MINOR IN BIOSYSTEMS)

AIMS

To orient Mechanical Engineers towards operations and problem-solving activities in the

agricultural, environmental and food production sectors in the following areas:

• Ensuring a certain level of food security in the region.

• Increasing the efficiency and productivity of agriculturists and related land users

through the application of engineering principles, methods and technologies.

• Raising the awareness of rural socio-economic issues in the territories in the

Caribbean, by the inclusion in the courses, of some of the cultural practices and

income-earning activities of urban and rural sectors of the region. The studies extend

to agriculture and to some extent, environment, horticulture, forestry and fisheries,

including aquaculture, in the taught courses or in Final Year Projects.

• Increasing the general awareness of the need for efficient use of limited land and water

resources of the Caribbean as well as protecting those resources.

• Advancing the body of knowledge required for the above through research leading to

the M.Sc., M.Phil and Ph.D. degrees in the three main areas – Soil and Water

Engineering, Post-Harvest Storage and Food Processing and Production Systems and

Mechanization and Equipment/Tool Design.

Students may opt for the “full” Minor, which consists of the Final Year Project plus at least five

(5) other Level 3 courses in the Biosystems Engineering area. Students may choose the

courses that enable them to concentrate on the main areas of the Minor described in the last

paragraph. The courses in the Minor were selected to make the student as useful and flexible

as possible in aspects of Biosystems Engineering without compromising the overall

Mechanical Engineering content of the degree. Most of the courses in the Minor are coded

MENG so that other Mechanical Engineering students interested in them could take them as

electives within the basic B.Sc. Mechanical Engineering Programme.

6

EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOME/OUTPUTS

HELP DESK & BRIDGING COURSES SCHEDULES

2017 / 2018

19

First Year Help Desk

As you transition from secondary to tertiary education, you will notice a significant increase in

the volume and quality of work expected of you. In particular, you will notice that you have

very few one-on-one interactions with your lecturers and they expect you to have a greater

responsibility for managing your learning. To assist you in this transition, the Department of

Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering has established the First Year Help Desk. The

Help Desk supports students in Level 1 courses by explaining subject specific content as well

as assisting students to manage their own learning process. It is available in two formats:

The Physical Helpdesk

The Physical Helpdesk is manned by postgraduate students within the Department of

Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering. The desk is operated as per the attached

schedule. Students are encouraged to sign up for a fifteen-minute appointment with an

appropriate tutor. The timetable of the tutors and their respective specialities is attached. Drop-

ins are also welcome but individuals with appointments will be given preference during specific

timeslots. You are advised to bring any notes and other materials that are associated with your

questions – this will help the tutor to support you more effectively.

The Physical Helpdesk is located in Mechanical Engineering Labs Block (Engineering Block

4). You can see the location of the building circled in the linked UWI STA Campus map. If you

need further directions, please click on the attached link to see how to get to the Physical

Helpdesk from the Engineering Undercroft.

The Virtual Helpdesk

The Virtual Helpdesk aims to provide a forum for student support with first year Math-based

courses outside of the time barriers and the physical constraints of the University buildings. It

is implemented via piazza.com. Students may post their questions/concerns on the prescribed

discussion boards. You will receive a response to your question from one of the teaching staff

associated within one working day. Other students can also respond to the questions if

possible. If you prefer that your colleagues are not able to identify your questions or response,

then you may post anonymously. However, the teaching staff will be able to see who posted.

To enrol in the course, fill in the online google signup form at

https://goo.gl/forms/PnLgXegeScAVxyVv2. An email will be sent to you inviting you to join the

course MENG 0000 at Piazza (https://piazza.com). Follow the instructions in the email to

register; you will then be able to post your questions.

If you have further concerns, please watch this introductory video on how to upload a

question/response to the discussion board.

APPENDIX E

STUDENT CHAPTERS

35

STUDENT CHAPTERS The Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering recognises the importance of Professional Engineering Institutions and has undertaken a number of initiatives to get its students involved in some of these Associations during their programme of study. During the orientation period each year senior members from the Association of Professional Engineers of Trinidad and Tobago (APETT), and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) are invited by the Faculty to address the new and returning students on the benefits of being a member of a Professional Institution. New students are offered free student membership for one year by ASME while APETT offers free membership for all students throughout the duration of the undergraduate programmes. APETT works closely with the Engineering Students’ Society (ESS) in the Faculty of Engineering, UWI, and organises events for students such as lectures and field trips. On February 20th 2014, the UWI St. Augustine celebrated the establishment of an official Student Chapter of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). The Student Chapter formation was guided by IMechE Caribbean Representatives Mr Deepak Lall and Dr. Chris Maharaj. The group was formally launched when it teamed up with the local student branch of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) to host a technical seminar. Since then, the Chapter has been intimately involved in numerous activities including a Mechanical Engineering Networking event that had 180 student and professional participants, a technical seminar on the Responsibilities of an Engineering Manager, and a UWI Department of Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Student/Staff Appreciation day. In addition, the IMechE Student Chapter also launched its newsletter. The SME Student Unit launched its recruitment efforts during the orientation period of Semester I, 2015-2016 academic year. In November 2016 this Unit became registered as an official SME Student Chapter. The SME Student Chapter plans to host industry workshops/guest lectures and other interactive activities for the benefit of the students. The IMechE and SME Student Chapters collaborate on various activities and contributed an article to the first edition of the Department’s Newsletter, which detailed the goals of the group.

Academic Advising FAQs

What is Academic Advising?

Academic Advising is a compulsory mentoring session at the beginning of Semesters I and II.

Your choice in courses will be discussed and confirmed. You will generally be unable to register if

you have not attended the session as the hold on your account will only be removed after the

document from your Academic Advising session is processed.

Which Academic Advising Session should I attend?

Academic Advising is offered at three (3) levels. For Level III, and sometimes Level II, special

sessions are offered for students on warning or students returning from Required-to-Withdraw

(RTW). Please read through this section to determine which session you are required to attend.

Level I

Level I students are students entering the department for the 1st time. All students who have to

complete a Level I course will also attend Level I Academic Advising.

Level II

All students attending Level II Advising must have completed ALL Level I courses. Students who

will attempt Level III courses but who have not completed or will not register for the Final Year

project in the current academic year will also attend Level II Academic Advising.

Level III

These are students who have completed Final Year Projects or who will register for the Final Year

Project in the current year.

How should I prepare for Academic Advising?

Before attending an Academic Advising session, you should have a good idea of the courses for

which you would register in the current semester. In fact, it is recommended that, no matter what

level you have reached, you plan your degree to its completion. Chart courses for which you will

register each semester. Be familiar with the possible streams for final year such as manufacturing,

energy and applied mechanics.

If you will not graduate in the current year, but qualify to attempt Level III courses, then you will

be guided to register for electives, rather than compulsory Level III courses.

You may not attempt courses without first having passed the relevant pre-requisite course(s).

40

What happens on the day?

Proceed to the assembly area as directed by the advising notices. You will be required to collect an

Academic Advising Form from the departmental administrative staff on duty. Fill in your

background information. Follow directions given by the administrative staff. Continuing students

seeing an advisor would be called by number.

What if I failed a course?

Failed courses MUST be repeated at the earliest opportunity. Your advisor will only discuss new

courses with you, after failed courses are selected, for that semester.

Can I take a course in Summer?

Your Academic Advisor will tell you that Summer School is ONLY for those who attempted and

failed a course in the current academic year. You may not attempt a course for the first time, in

the summer. Note that your degree status will NOT change, based on successfully passing courses

in Summer School. Good Standing, Warning, or Required-to-Withdraw status will continue to

stand.

Can I attempt an extra course?

If you have only one course to repeat, but a high GPA and overall good performance in the

programme, you may be granted the opportunity to attempt your full course load in addition to

the course your failed. Your advisor will evaluate your performance, starting from your entry into

the programme. Normally, a GPA greater than three (3) is required. You may also be asked to

satisfactorily explain your strategy for dealing with the increased course load.

Note that timetable clashes, class size restrictions, and other extenuating factors may affect

whether this request is granted.

Missing your Academic Advising Session

Academic Advising is compulsory. ALL students must attend, as scheduled, before registration. If

you, for some reason, are unable to attend your session as scheduled because of reasons such as a

delayed or cancelled flight, illness, or hospitalisation, then please contact the department or see the

Departmental Secretary at the earliest opportunity to schedule an appointment with your advisor.
