About this course

There is a strong industrial demand for skilled engineers capable of spanning mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines with a view to the effective and informed design of systems that interchange and manage electrical and mechanical energy. Years one and two offer a grounding in mathematics, thermal management, dynamics and control, computing, electrical energy technologies, and analogue and digital electronics. In the third year, as well as classroom-based subjects, you will engage in a research project.

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