Mechanical and Electrical Engineering - MEng (Hons)

University of Bristol

There's a strong industrial demand for skilled engineers capable of spanning mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines. We need effective and informed design systems that interchange and manage electrical and mechanical energy.Our MEng Mechanical and Electrical Engineering course focuses on electro-mechanical energy conversion, giving you the fundamental knowledge and tools to satisfy this demand from industry.During this course, you'll study units from the mechanical and electrical disciplines of the key 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 solid grounding in core subjects including mathematics, thermal management, dynamics and control, computing, electrical energy technologies, and analogue and digital electronics. Laboratory work and case studies draw together these interdisciplinary foundations.In year three, in addition to classroom-based subjects, you'll engage in a themed project. You'll work closely with a team of peers and an academic project supervisor to focus on a specific topic area. This will give you the freedom to apply the knowledge and skills that you have developed. Topics might include actuation and sensor systems intelligent, adaptable power systems or efficient, clean propulsion technologies.Your final year will see you working on a significant project around your preferred theme. Here, you'll solve an engineering-related problem related to your chosen subject matter. You'll also have a choice of units offering more in-depth engineering topics.Mechanical and Electrical Engineering graduates will be equipped to innovate in a range of technological areas. These might include:* the power flow of renewable energy microgrids* actuation systems for motion control or robotics* the complete power train of future electric vehicles.
