MEng in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, University of Bristol

This MEng program focuses on the industrial demand for engineers skilled in both mechanical and electrical engineering, with an emphasis on electro-mechanical energy conversion. Throughout the course, students explore areas such as design and integration of electro-mechanical systems, energy conversion and actuation, embedded systems control, power electronics, and energy management. The first two years cover fundamentals like mathematics, thermal management, dynamics, control, computing, electrical energy technologies, and electronics, often through laboratory work and case studies. In the third year, students undertake an individual research project, applying their knowledge to specific topics like actuation, sensor systems, or clean propulsion technologies. The final year involves teamwork, often with industry partners, solving engineering problems related to the program. The course prepares graduates to innovate in areas such as renewable energy microgrids, robotics, electric vehicle powertrains, and energy storage.
