Electrical and Mechanical Engineering MEng (Hons)

Electromechanical systems are increasingly central to today’s world, and this multidisciplinary field of engineering will only become more important in meeting the needs of future society. Electromechanical engineers work on everything from energy generation, hybrid vehicles and aircraft design to satellite technology. Here at Edinburgh we have particular specialisms in carbon capture, materials science and engineering – including polymers and the mechanics of snow and ice – and engineering at the interface with biology and medicine. We also have strengths in renewable energy, including marine energy, which was pioneered at Edinburgh by Professor Stephen Salter – inventor of the ‘Salter Duck’ in the 1970s. Our world-class research activities strongly enhance our teaching, and you will have opportunities to carry out research projects in the diverse areas outlined above. **Ties to industry** Our Industrial Liaison Board includes senior representatives from important industrial companies, and this has a strong influence on our curriculum and programme development.
