BEng (Hons) Mechanical and Electrical Engineering in Bristol United Kingdom | University of Bristol

Industry urgently needs skilled engineers who can bridge mechanical and electrical engineering fields. This program equips you with core knowledge and techniques to meet this demand in an innovative manner.

Throughout the course, you'll explore mechanical and electrical topics through key themes: designing integrated electro-mechanical systems, energy conversion and actuation technologies, embedded control systems, power electronics with electric drives, and efficient energy utilization.

The first two years establish fundamentals in mathematics, thermal systems, dynamics and control theory, computing, electrical power technologies, and both analogue/digital electronics. Practical labs and case studies will integrate these cross-disciplinary foundations.

During your final year, alongside advanced coursework, you'll undertake a major independent research project synthesizing all course elements. Project selection offers specialization options ranging from robotic actuation systems and smart power networks to sustainable propulsion solutions.

Graduates will develop transformative technologies across diverse applications such as:

optimizing renewable microgrid energy pathways from generation to end-user consumption,
advancing medical and industrial robotics through electromechanical system integration,
designing complete electric vehicle powertrains encompassing energy storage, motor systems, and mechanical drivetrains,
developing self-powered sensor networks using ambient energy harvesting for remote monitoring applications.
