We deliver research and teaching in electronic engineering, mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering and sport engineering. All of our taught programmes are built around core engineering fundamentals; therefore all of our students will be able to tackle various engineering problems.
We are characterised by four threads:
- Tools: engineers need suitable tools to tackle engineering challenges, such as software, hardware, mathematics, and laboratories
- Skills: engineers need the skills with which they can effectively use engineering tools
- Creativity: we value creativity, so we inspire and develop engineers who have great ideas so they can use their skills
- Delivery: from start to finish, delivery of projects gives our graduates the experience of taking their creative ideas from concept to production
Despite being a new department, we are already building a global reputation in areas including human performance and human factors, future materials, biomedical engineering, and robotics. We are working with industrial partners in technology, automotive, aircraft, marine, healthcare engineering, and with sports teams to help them beat world records.
