This integrated Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering focuses on sustainable energy technologies, including wind turbines, solar cells, batteries, and fuel cells, while addressing societal aspects of energy distribution and use. The first two years cover foundational mechanical engineering principles, such as law, management, systems design, and computing, to guide products from concept to market. In years three and four, students delve into advanced fluid behaviour, thermal phenomena, and heat transfer, alongside an individual project in year three and a group design project in year four to tackle real-world problems. Access to state-of-the-art facilities, like the UK's largest wind tunnel and a 3D imaging centre, enhances learning.Typical modules span engineering design, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and sustainable energy systems across all years. Assessment includes written exams, coursework, laboratory reports, essays, and projects, evaluating experimental and design skills. The program is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Engineering Council, and EUR-ACE, providing a pathway to chartered status.
Typical modules include: Year one: An Introduction to Engineering Design; Electrical and Electronics Systems; Mathematics for Engineering and the Environment; Mechanics, Structures and Materials; Mechanical Systems Analysis; ThermoFluids. Year two: Engineering Management and Law; Fluid Mechanics; Materials and Structures; Mathematics for Engineering and the Environment Part II; Mechanics, Machines and Vibration; Systems Design and Computing; Thermodynamics; Electronics and Control. Year three: Individual Project; Engineering Design with Management; Finite Element Analysis in Solid Mechanics; Heat Transfer and Applications; Manufacturing and Materials; Technology Fundamentals for Sustainable Energy; plus additional module options. Year four: Group Design Project; Materials, Manufacturing, and Supply Chain Management; Principles of Photovoltaics, Fuel Cells and Batteries; Sustainable Energy Systems, Resources and Usage; Thermo-Fluid Engineering for Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS); plus module options to deepen your knowledge.
