Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Beng (Hon)
Course Overview - Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Beng (Hon)
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:
- design and integration of electro-mechanical systems;
- energy conversion and actuation systems;
- embedded systems and control;

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.<br/><br/>During this course, you will study units from the mechanical and electrical disciplines along the following themes:<br/><br/><br/>- design and integration of electro-mechanical systems;<br/><br/><br/>- energy conversion and actuation systems;<br/><br/><br/>- embedded systems and control;<br/><br/><br/>- power electronics and electric drives; and<br/><br/><br/>- energy management.<br/><br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>Mechanical and electrical engineering graduates will be able to innovate technologies in a range of areas. These might include:<br/><br/><br/>- the power flow of renewable energy microgrids, from the wind to the electric generator and the power network to the user in the home;<br/><br/><br/>- actuation systems for motion control or robotics used in healthcare and manufacturing;<br/><br/><br/>- the complete power train of future electric vehicles, from the energy storage system, through to the electric motors, to the mechanical drivetrain and traction system;<br/><br/><br/>- efficient energy storage, allowing sensors to operate in previously inaccessible and far-reaching locations.<br/>
