Introduction

The part-time taught M.Sc. programme in Automation and Computer-Aided Engineering at CUHK is an inter-disciplinary study combining topics in computer engineering, electronics, systems, and information technology. The subject has a broad foundation and has been advancing rapidly in the past two decades. Automation is the use of technology to improve upon human operations, and to extend the analytical and physical capabilities of humans. It is ever-evolving. In ancient times it was the mechanization of some simple processes; today it is the integrated engineering of sensors, feedback control, manufacturing, CAD/CAM, robotics, computer interfaces, and artificial intelligence. These advanced technologies demand manipulation of a large amount of information in real-time, and only with today's advanced computer technology that they can be facilitated. On the other hand, computer-aided engineering is, in a general sense, the application of computer technologies to engineering problems, including design/redesign, planning, simulation, implementation, and management. Together, Automation technology and computer-aided engineering work interactively and feed on each other's strength, bringing forth new potential and application areas. The objective of this programme is to provide advanced training for practicing engineers and managers who wish to keep pace with the latest technological development in Automation and Computer-Aided Engineering.
