Course overview

Electromechanical engineering is concerned with systems ranging from micromachines to powerful industrial robots, relying on mechanical elements, electrical power, sensing and control to produce a useful device.

A modern jet airliner is an excellent example of a large electromechanical device. Electrical power and electronic control have to be converted into real mechanical work to enable the pilot to adjust the rudder, ailerons and elevators, and control the plane. At the same time, monitoring the plane’s response involves sensing mechanical movements and forces, and converting these into information signals for electronic systems to display.

This programme enhances the BEng material with a selection of courses which include more advanced engineering topics, management studies, law and group projects, in which you will tackle wide-ranging engineering problems, requiring an understanding of mechanics as well as power engineering.

  • Years one and two are the same as for BEng, allowing for transfer between the two courses during this time
  • Emphasis on independent learning in years three and four
  • Group design project in year four, to design and construct a product needed by industry
