Integrated Mechanical & Electrical Engineering
Why study Integrated Mechanical and Electrical Engineering?
Traditional engineering education is discipline-specific, choosing to concentrate on one subject such as mechanical engineering. While there is a clear need for such specific degree programmes, increasingly there is demand for engineering graduates able to span the divide between electronic, electrical and mechanical engineering. The design and manufacture of highly complex electronically controlled mechanical systems is at the heart of many modern technologies, for example, renewable power systems, aerospace and hybrid-vehicles. Industry needs graduates able to join multi-disciplinary engineering teams. The Integrated Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (IMEE) degree programme has been designed in collaboration with industry to fulfil these needs.
The IMEE programme achieves its aim without sacrificing the intellectual rigour of a single-discipline programme. The first two years of the programme combine the core engineering sciences of mechanics, materials, electrical and electronic systems and circuits. These core elements are integrated with coordinated project and laboratory work. In Years 3 and 4, further core subjects and chosen options are studied in depth, culminating in major group and individual projects.
The IMEE programme’s project and design work develops technical and managerial team-working skills. A unique feature of the programme is the study of applications beyond the boundaries of traditional mechanical and electrical engineering. Industrial sponsorships and bursaries are also available,
