About this course
BEng/MEng in Energy Engineering, an energy engineering degree centred on the global transition to sustainable and equitable energy systems. Core topics include Control Systems, Engineering Design, Entrepreneurship, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. The curriculum spans four to five years, incorporating major individual and team projects alongside advanced specialization options. The first year covers foundational principles through modules such as Analogue Electronics 1, Design and Manufacture 1, Engineering Skills 1, and Environmental Engineering 1. The second year builds competence with courses like Design and Manufacture 2, Mechanical Design 2, Materials 2, and Power Electronics 2. The third year advances technical ability through Control 3, Fluid Mechanics 3, Heat Transfer 3, and Instrumentation and Data Systems 3. The fourth year features options such as Advanced Energy Engineering 4, Finite Element Analysis 4, Control 4, and Mechanics of Solids 4, alongside an Individual Project 4. The fifth year concludes the MEng route with advanced modules such as Individual Project 5, Energy Conversion Systems M, Waste Heat and Power-to-X, and Advanced Control 5.
