Module Details
Indicative Content
This module will focus on recent developments in electrical, electronic, mechanical, and transport engineering.
Module content will be derived from trends seen in Industry and Academia and will include input from the University’s Research and Enterprise activities.
Electronic Engineering will typically cover advances in electronic semiconductor devices and discrete components; materials science; manufacturing techniques; and novel applications. Examples from the University’s current research include Thin Film Transistor (TFT); Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED); organic solar cells; and flat panel displays.
Electrical Engineering will typically cover advances in electrical power generation, transmission and distribution systems; power electronics and power systems; electrical machines and drives; renewable energy; and electrical energy storage techniques. Examples from the University’s current research include embedded and distributed generation; high voltage DC (HVDC); wireless transmission of electrical energy; renewable energy; energy harvesting; and electric double layer supercapacitors.
Mechanical engineering will typically cover advances in renewable energy and low carbon and sustainable engineering
Transport engineering will typically cover advances in automotive and aeronautical engineering
