The Engineering and Mathematics subject group has a strong research expertise in energy, materials & manufacturing, mechanical & design, mathematics & modelling, automation & robotics, and operations & production management. Our students focus on engineering practices, computing skills and principles of design relating to a wide range of mechanical and energy systems. They learn to integrate their knowledge of mathematics, science, information technology, design and management and apply it to solve complex engineering problems. Our Energy and Environmental Engineering programme also helps students to gain an understanding of the operation and specification of renewable energy systems and consider the use and impact of appropriate materials and methods of manufacture and covers building services design for zero emissions. These programmes will also help the students to develop their skills in innovative thinking.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

The subject group also has strong industry links to ensure our programmes are highly relevant and up to date, providing professional insight and crucial knowledge for success. Our specialist labs include robotics and automated manufacturing which contains systems such as flexible manufacturing systems and autonomous robotics, advanced materials lab that contains solution blow spinning facility, scanning electron microscopy, optical microscopy, mechanical testing facilities, a manufacturing lab that has a wide range of conventional machine tools as well as CNC machining centres equipped with Kistler cutting force dynamometer setup.<\/em><\/p>\n
