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.
