UndergraduateCourse summary
Why choose this course? This course equips you with the thorough knowledge and skills at the forefront of renewable energy engineering. Graduates will be well placed to become subject specialists within the renewable energy and net zero industry, or to pursue research careers within academia. Students who wish to become part of the solution to climate change will find this programme beneficial as it covers multiple parts of the net zero revolution. The MEng contains an Industrial Placement and Project which aims to: Provide students with the opportunity to practice the task management and problem-solving activities of a professional engineer and to explore original ideas. To exercise the student in applying and extending the methods, skills, information, knowledge and understanding obtained during the various parts of the programme to developing and evaluating an original design of an engineering product or system. To develop the knowledge and skills, through involvement and experience, to determine solutions to real engineering problems whilst working as a member of a team in industry. *This course is part of a subject area ranked top 10 in the UK for Student Voice, Assessment and Feedback and Learning Resources in the National Student Survey, 2024. This course is also part of a subject area ranked Joint 3rd out of Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland for Overall Satisfaction in the National Student Survey, 2024. Specialist modules in: Wind and Hydro Energy Engineering Solar, biomass, and energy storage engineering Smart grids, energy storage and energy mix Rapid Prototyping facility (fused deposition method) Laboratory experiments in wind, solar and hydro renewable energy.

Modules
YEAR 1 (LEVEL 4) In year 1, you will develop an understanding of the fundamental concepts, principles and theories in engineering. You will acquire basic mathematic skills related to engineering and design problems, and use CAD for engineering design. You will also gain competence of working safely in engineering laboratories and workshops, and be able to conduct laboratory procedures, measurement and workshop practices under the guidance of a tutor. MODULES CAD and production Science Introduction to Electrical and Mechanical Engineering Science Engineering Mathematics Engineering professional development Future Energy Systems and Sustainability Materials and the Environment YEAR 2 (LEVEL 5) Level 5 (year 2) will build on the knowledge, concepts and skills acquired at Level 4 in addition to more specialist knowledge, skills in engineering design and analysis. More in-depth in theories in electrical power engineering, renewable energies, structures and finite element analysis, etc will be explored. You will also develop an understanding of business and research methods. MODULES Engineering Futures - Research, Ethics, and Sustainability Further Engineering Maths Electrical Power Engineering Wind and Hydro Engineering Mechanics, Structures & FEA Solar and Biomass Energy Engineering YEAR 3 (LEVEL 6) At Level 6, you will acquire a critical understanding and application of the higher level concepts, principles and theories in engineering, as well as a critical understanding and explanation of advanced topics in composite materials, design, modelling/simulation, and advanced renewable technologies. You will use the knowledge and skills you have acquired to do an individual project. MODULES Mechanical Engineering Modelling and Simulation Smart Grids, Storage and Energy Mix Energy Saving, Low Carbon and Recycling Systems Professional Engineering Project YEAR 4 (LEVEL 7) This is the final year of the Master training. This will allow you to enhance further your skills and gain the required knowledge in Renewable and Sustainable Engineering. At the end of this, you will be a graduate engineer ready for the industry!
