Integrated Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (Hons)

Overview

Our Integrated Mechanical and Electrical Engineering (Hons)  course at University of Bath  gives you a unique chance to balance an understanding of mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering sciences with a focus on systems engineering. You’ll develop a comprehensive knowledge of mechanics, materials, electrical and electronic systems and circuits. And you’ll explore the theory and practice of the latest mechanical and electrical technologies.

Being able to apply what you’ve learnt is an important part of your study at Bath. You’ll use theory in coordinated projects and laboratory work where you’ll design and develop products and systems.

Group and individual projects are a chance to explore creative approaches to engineering problems. You could design and build robotics, medical devices or sports and games equipment. You’ll also develop valuable skills to add to your technical and scientific knowledge. Through teamwork, problem-solving and management experience, you'll graduate prepared to work in professional engineering roles.

Facilities

You’ll have access to facilities specially equipped for the application of electrical and mechanical engineering. We've designed our laboratories to be similar to industrial workspaces so you gain an insight into what it's like to work in a professional environment. These include laboratories for electric vehicles, robotics and autonomous systems design, rapid prototyping and a mechanical workshop.

Careers

We work with industrial partners to make sure our course content reflects the needs of engineering industries. When you graduate, you'll have the interdisciplinary skills needed across a wide range of engineering professions. You could go on to pursue successful careers in high-technology industries including electronics, power, automotive, robotics, aerospace or manufacturing. Some of our graduates continue their studies with us or at other universities for a career in academia or research.
