The aim of the course is to develop your understanding of computer systems architectures, networks, and the Internet of Things (IoT). IoT is a network of physical objects (devices, vehicles, buildings etc) which are embedded with electronics, software and sensors, enabling them to collect and exchange data. We’ll look at software and hardware and how they are designed for embedded systems, as well as the principles of electronic engineering and develop the skills to be able to work in a wide range of industries.
It’s accredited by the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) on behalf of the Engineering Council. That means you could become a registered Incorporated Engineer (IEng) upon graduation. Following further study, you could also gain Chartered Engineer (CEng) status.
Example modules • Electronics • Mathematics • Embedded Systems • Parallel Computer Architecture Clusters and Grids
Your future
In the third year you’ll be given the chance to take a year’s placement working in industry. Previous graduates from this subject area have gone on to work in a variety of roles such as, systems engineer, electronic design engineer, senior electronic engineer and senior metrology engineer, in organisations including BAE Systems, Siemens, Dyson and Bentley Motors Ltd. †

Energy Engineering BEng(Hons) / MEng
Your course There is a growing need to improve how we all use energy in our daily lives, renewable and sustainable energy sources are becoming more and more important. This course helps you understand the issues and develop your skills to find employment in the energy sector.
We aim to give you a good grounding in both electrical and mechanical principles. We also look at the commercial side of the industry to help develop your business acumen. You could develop skills in a range of power generation technologies, including nuclear, wind, tidal and solar, as well as the more traditional fossil fuels.
Facilities for your practical work, include our own wind and solar power facility. You could choose to use the facility in your final year for project work.
The degree is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) which means it meets the academic requirements for registration as an Incorporated Engineer status (IEng).
Example modules • Engineering Communication and Materials • Thermofluids • Analysis of Materials • Advanced Energy Systems
Your future
Previous graduates from courses in this subject area have gone on to work
in a variety of roles such as new product reliability engineer, design engineer,
lead structural test engineer and pipeline engineer in organisations including Cummins Inc, Weir Power & Industrial, Jaguar Land Rover and Shell. †

Accreditation
These courses are accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and fully meets the academic requirement for registration as a Chartered Engineer (CEng). This accreditation is reviewed on a regular basis.
Your course Mechatronic Engineering is an integrated course that covers mechanical, electronic and electrical engineering, so if you want to work across these industries this multidisciplinary approach could be the course for you.
There is an increasing demand to design smart products and a move towards electrification across industries. With more sophisticated automated processes, learning skills from each area will prepare you for the increasing range of demands engineers face.
Throughout the course there is a continuous focus on industrial automation including robotic and mechatronic systems, which will prepare you for life after graduation, where engineers are working with complex automated systems.
In your first year you will learn the fundamentals, so you have a thorough grounding in the principles. Then in your second and final year you will learn to design, create and maintain smart automation systems.
Example modules • Robotics and Mechatronics • Mechanical Engineering Science • Factory Simulation Systems • Dynamic Analysis and Control
Your future
During your studies you have the chance to take a placement after your second year. You could work in the industry and put what you’ve learnt into practice. We’ll also give you the opportunity to join our student teams who take part in national events like the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) Formula Student, Railway Challenge, and Unmanned Aircraft Systems Challenge competitions, (or comparable design and build team projects). You will work alongside fellow students from different engineering disciplines, which reflects how you will work in industry.
