Course summary

There is a strong industrial demand for skilled engineers capable of spanning the mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines. This degree gives you the fundamental knowledge and tools to satisfy this demand in a unique way focussing on electro-mechanical energy conversion. During this course, you will study units from the mechanical and electrical disciplines along the following themes:

• design and integration of electro-mechanical systems;

• energy conversion and actuation systems;

• embedded systems and control;

• power electronics and electric drives; and

• energy management.

• the power flow of renewable energy microgrids, from the wind to the electric generator and the power network to the user in the home;

• actuation systems for motion control or robotics used in healthcare and manufacturing;

• the complete power train of future electric vehicles, from the energy storage system, through to the electric motors, to the mechanical drivetrain and traction system;

• efficient energy storage, allowing sensors to operate in previously inaccessible and far-reaching locations.
