Introduction

Mechanical engineers are responsible for the design and manufacture of an enormous range of industrial products – almost anything with moving parts, from aircraft to washing machines. You will use fundamental physics, complex mathematics and state-of-the-art engineering software, as well as your creative and inventive skills, in designing and improving products. Although the main applications of Mechanical Engineering are usually thought of as planes, trains and automobiles, this field is rapidly expanding to include robotics, biomedical engineering, nanotechnology, sports engineering and other important research areas. Our Electrical & Mechanical Engineering joint honours degree combines teaching from the Electronics & Electrical Engineering discipline with that from Mechanical Engineering to create a joint degree covering the important area of electromechanical systems that is increasingly prevalent in today’s world.
