What you will study

Year 1 covers analogue and digital circuits for electronics and power, dynamics, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics, mathematics, software engineering and a design-and-build project on fuel cells and hydrogen-powered vehicles. Year 2 continues at a more advanced level with team design projects, Year 3 introduces specialist advanced topics, and Year 4 (Honours) includes an individual research project and advanced modules on the design and analysis of electromechanical systems. Transfer from BEng to MEng is possible in the first three years.

Career pathways

Dual accreditation by the IET and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers opens careers in aeronautical engineering (sensor, control and fly-by-wire systems), automotive engineering (electronic performance management, pollution-free vehicles), renewable energy (wind and wave), robotic systems for manufacturing, satellite and space exploration, and marine engineering (electric propulsion, radar and sonar).
