There is a strong industrial demand for skilled engineers capable of spanning mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines with a view to effective and informed design of systems that interchange and manage electrical and mechanical energy. This degree gives you the fundamental knowledge and tools to satisfy this demand.

This course provides the opportunity to spend your third year applying the knowledge gained in your first two years of study in an industrial environment. There's no direct entry onto this course but you can transfer from MEng Mechanical and Electrical Engineering after year two if you reach a high academic standard and are successful at interview with industry.

You will study units from the mechanical and electrical disciplines along the following themes:

  • design and integration of electro-mechanical systems;
  • energy conversion and actuation systems;
  • embedded systems and control;
  • power electronics and electric drives;
  • energy management.

Years one and two offer a grounding in mathematics, thermal management, dynamics and control, computing, electrical energy technologies, and electronics. Laboratory work and case studies will draw together these interdisciplinary foundations.

Your third year will be spent in industry, and in your fourth year, you will return to year three of the MEng in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering programme.

In this fourth year, as well as classroom-based subjects, you will engage in a research project. This will give you the freedom to apply the knowledge and skills that you have developed focusing on a specific topic area from actuation and sensor systems and intelligent adaptable power systems to efficient, clean propulsion technologies.

Your final year (year five) will see you working as part of a larger team of students, often with an industrial partner. Here you will solve an engineering problem related to your programme subject matter. You will also have some choice of modules offering more in-depth engineering topics.

Mechanical and electrical engineering graduates will be able to innovate technologies in a range of areas. These might include:

  • the power flow of renewable energy microgrids, from the wind to the electric generator and the power network to the user in the home;
  • actuation systems for motion control or robotics used in healthcare and manufacturing;
  • the power train of future electric vehicles, from the energy storage system, through to the electric motors, to the mechanical drivetrain and traction system.
