Introduction
Just think back to the last time you bought a mobile phone. You asked friends for the best buy, in terms of quality and price. Bombarded by a huge range of similar products from different brands, you now have the luxury of choice. Often you want to know whether the quality is worth the price tag.
Enter our Diploma in Business Process & Quality Engineering (BPQE). The course equips you with the skill and knowledge to help companies improve systems and processes to produce quality goods and services. It is the only full-fledged diploma in Singapore focusing on the field of quality studies and is specially designed to meet the needs of companies in the manufacturing and service industries.
In keeping with global trends and developments, the course integrates business processes and quality management with engineering, so you will have a sound grasp of modern quality techniques and business processes.
Take a wide variety of modules in diverse areas such as service management, project quality management, principles of marketing and business process engineering. This allows you to focus on an aspect of quality management and engineering that interests you.
In your final-year, gain hands-on experience with a local or overseas industrial attachment programme, or participate in an in-house project. You will benefit from the close relationship that MDE has with Motorola, Yeakin Plastic, Dell Computer, Baxter Healthcare, and industry bodies like the Singapore Quality Institute, which is affiliated with the American Society for Quality.
Accreditation for Further Studies
Upon graduation, pursue further studies in areas such as Mechanical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Industrial & Systems Engineering, Service Operations Management and Engineering Management in both local and foreign universities in UK and Australia.
In particular, BPQE graduates may gain direct admission to the second-year of the Materials Engineering course at Nanyang Technological University (NTU).
Direct admission with advanced standing is possible when you take up courses in Industrial and Systems Engineering and the Mechanical Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS).
NUS, NTU and the Singapore Management University also allows you to enter business-related and relevant courses.
