Dr Seng Chong

Dr. Chong is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Engineering, Media and Sustainable Development of the Faculty of Technology, and a member of the Mechatronics Research Group within the Advanced Manufacturing Processes and Mechatronics Centre of the Faculty of Technology. He is also the programme leader of the MSc Mechatronics and MSc project Coordinator; and the year 1 tutor for BEng Mechanical Engineering and BEng Mechatronics. He teaches Electrical and Electronic Principles at the undergraduate level, and Mechanics of Machines and Control System Engineering at the Postgraduate level.

Dr. Chong has previously engaged in technical research in several major projects in the area of Mechatronics, namely: (i) Virtual engineering / digital manufacturing, (ii) Product life cycle information management and product service system, (ii) Pervasive computing, information and communication technologies and equipment management for connected homes.

He has also led research in a number of projects which helped develop research and development capabilities within the Mechatronics Research Centre in: (i) system architectures and engineering for remote service delivery to connected homes / eHome technologies, and (ii) new techniques and methods in the realisation of life cycle products and systems.

The underlying competencies / technologies facilitating such research and development include (i) component-based architectures / framework design & systems integration; (ii) control systems design, data acquisition & telemetry; (iii) information management systems design / implementation; (iv) information and communication technologies; and (v) eHome technologies & services / smart-home technologies.
