Mechanical and Electrical Engineering

About this course

Mechanical and electrical engineering together address the design and management of systems that convert, transmit and control energy in both mechanical and electrical forms. Mechanical engineering deals with the analysis and design of physical systems, from the forces that govern structures to the thermodynamics of engines and the kinematics of machines. Electrical engineering focuses on circuits, power systems, control theory, electronics and electromagnetics. The boundary between the two has always been porous, but as electrification and automation advance across industry, transport and infrastructure, the ability to span both disciplines has become more important than ever. At the University of Bristol this four-year full-time programme is designed around the recognition that industry has strong demand for engineers who can work effectively across mechanical and electrical disciplin
