Course summary

There is a strong industrial demand for skilled engineers capable of spanning mechanical and electrical engineering disciplines to effectively and informedly design systems that interchange and manage electrical and mechanical energy. This degree gives you the fundamental knowledge and tools to satisfy this demand uniquely, focusing 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.
