BEng Electrical Mechanical Engineering

University of Strathclyde

Course overview

The BEng Hons Electrical & Mechanical Engineering at the University of Strathclyde is a multidisciplinary degree that combines key areas of electrical and mechanical engineering, which reflects the contemporary nature of integrated engineering. The course introduces students to analogue and digital circuit design as well as mechanical system principles such as dynamics and thermodynamics, supported by practical labs and projects including fuel cells and hydrogen-powered vehicles.

 

Advanced topics, teamwork, and project management skills are developed throughout the years, resulting in an individual research project in the final year that enhances both technical and professional competencies. The programme is run together by the Departments of Electronic & Electrical Engineering and Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, both of which are highly regarded for teaching and research excellence.
