Aims
The double degree course has been designed to provide graduates with:
- A strong foundation in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of engineering, particularly those relevant to the systematic development of electro-mechanical systems
- An awareness of social, economic, cultural and environmental aspects of electrical and electronic, and mechanical engineering
- An ability to critically analyse and evaluate information and solve problems
- An understanding of professional and ethical responsibilities and a commitment to them
- Well developed written and oral communication skills
- Structured engineering work experience
- The ability to work and interact professionally as an individual and as a member of multi-disciplinary teams
- An ability to undertake a substantial research-oriented project
- An understanding of the need to undertake lifelong learning and the capacity to do so
- Preparation for future management roles as professional engineers
The double degree course provides the foundations that will underpin ongoing professional development, preparing graduates for further study or for a career in an engineering related field or in other areas where the range of skills and knowledge acquired is needed or desirable.
