Electrical and Mechanical Engineering

Electromechanical engineers work on everything from energy generation and hybrid vehicles to aircraft design and satellite technology. They are creative problem-solvers and are skilled at working in interdisciplinary teams to deal with society's ever more complex challenges.

Here at Edinburgh, we have particular specialisms in:

• carbon capture

• materials science and engineering

• engineering at the interface with biology and medicine

• renewable energy, including marine energy

Mechanical engineering

Mechanical engineers turn ideas into realities, by creating systems and machines, generating movement and power. They lead technological advancements across diverse industries, instigating more efficient, safe and affordable designs and pushing the boundaries of modern manufacturing and automation.

Electronics and electrical engineering

Electronics and electrical engineers pioneer change in the modern technologies that underpin our world. They create more powerful, efficient and universal products, systems and materials, from the nano to the macro scale, addressing the future needs of societies locally and across the globe.
