About this course

BEng (Hons) in Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, a mechanical engineering and electrical and electronic engineering degree focused on multidisciplinary applications across modern technologies. Core topics include Systems Design, Circuit Design, Computer Architecture. The first year covers general engineering, electronics and electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, and mathematics. The second year progresses to analogue circuits, digital systems, power engineering, and structural mechanics. The third year concludes with structural mechanics and dynamics, thermofluids, and control and instrumentation engineering.
