Description
Electromechanical engineering combines electrical and mechanical engineering to find solutions for systems that rely on mechanical elements, electrical power, sensing and control.
Electromechanical engineering meets the increasing demand from industry for engineers with cross-disciplinary skills in the fields of robotics, flexible manufacturing, electromechanical power systems and electrical power transmission and distribution systems.
You will investigate the problems of combining electrical and mechanical components into electromechanical devices or systems such as micro-machines, electric vehicles and powerful industrial robots.
Project work begins in the first year and continues with design and build tasks in every year of your degree. You will get the chance to exercise your creative talent, deploy your skills and exploit the knowledge gained to design electromechanical devices.
Key areas of study include:
- theoretical and computational aspects of electromagnetism
- robotics, communications and control
- mechanics and engineering design
Students are eligible for funding under the Power Academy Scheme.
We have excellent relationships with employers, and have our own Careers Hub website. We also run an annual careers fair.
