There is a strong industrial demand for skilled engineers capable of spanning the mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines. This degree gives you the fundamental knowledge and tools to satisfy this demand in a unique way focussing on electro-mechanical energy conversion.
During this course, you will study units from the mechanical and electrical disciplines along the following themes:
Years one and two offer a grounding in mathematics, thermal management, dynamics and control, computing, electrical energy technologies, and analogue and digital electronics. Laboratory work and case studies will draw together these interdisciplinary foundations.
In the third year, as well as classroom-based subjects, you will engage in an individual research project in which you will apply the knowledge and skills that you have developed, focussing on a specific topic area from actuation and sensor systems and intelligent adaptable power systems to efficient, clean propulsion technologies.
Mechanical and electrical engineering graduates will be able to innovate technologies in a range of areas. These might include:
The University of Bristol's MEng Mechanical and Electrical Engineering curriculum combines academic knowledge and practical experience to equip students for a variety of engineering vocations. The program emphasizes experiential learning through research projects, design challenges, and, in some cases, industrial placements.
