MEng in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering - Sustainable Systems and Energy
Postgraduate Prospectus - MEng in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering
Are you passionate about tackling the pressing issues of climate change? By pursuing this course you will gain the skills to develop sustainable systems and contribute to the transition towards renewable energy sources.
Overview
As societies around the world continue to grapple with the implications of climate change, there is a growing expectation for engineers to play a crucial role in developing solutions that promote sustainable development.
Sustainable Engineering is a vital discipline that encompasses designing and operating systems in a way that promotes the responsible use of energy and resources. The field focuses on utilising engineering principles and innovative technologies to create an efficient and sustainable future for generations to come.
During this programme, you’ll advance your knowledge in sustainable energy and systems by undertaking a series of modules including Energy System Decarbonisation, Energy Management, Whole Life Cycle Analysis and more. At the end of the course you will complete a Sustainable Systems and Energy project in which you can showcase your new skills and knowledge.
