About this course
Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering / Sustainable Energy Systems, a mechanical engineering and chemical engineering degree centred on engineering design, sustainable energy technologies and thermofluid systems. Core topics include Programming, Systems Design, Control Systems, Data Analysis, Statistics, Mathematical Modelling, Accounting, Engineering Design, and Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning. Students complete a 4-year integrated master's programme that includes opportunities to undertake a work placement and present projects at an annual showcase. The first year establishes fundamental technical concepts through compulsory modules such as An Introduction to Engineering Design, Data Science and Computing for Engineers, Mechanical Systems Analysis, and Mechanics, Structures and Materials. The second year expands into applied engineering and management via Electronics and Control, Engineering Management and Law, Fluid Mechanics, and Systems Design and Computing. The third year advances into specialized technical analysis with Engineering Design with Management, Finite Element Analysis in Solid Mechanics, Heat Transfer and Applications, and an Individual Project, alongside optional choices including Applied Matrices for Computation and Machine Learning, Automotive Chassis and Powertrain, Control and Instrumentation, and Human Factors in Engineering. The final year focuses on advanced energy applications and major project work through compulsory modules like Group Design Project, Materials, Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management, Principles of Photovoltaics, Fuel Cells and Batteries, and Sustainable energy systems, resources and usage, complemented by optional studies in Advanced Electrical Systems, Advanced Photovoltaics, Fuel Cells and Batteries, Applications of CFD, and Renewable Energy from Wind, Wave and Tide.
