This course is taught from our CU Coventry, CU London and CU Scarborough location.
Build engineering skills for modern mechanical and electrical systems.
Explore how mechanical, electrical and digital engineering come together to shape the systems, technologies and industries behind modern life.
Electro-mechanical engineering brings together mechanical design, electrical power, electronics, software, control and data. This course is designed to help you understand how these areas connect, and how engineers use them to design, test and improve practical systems.
You’ll study core areas of mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering alongside mechatronics, control systems, embedded systems, smart manufacturing and renewable engineering. You’ll also build mathematical, analytical and digital skills that can support engineering modelling, simulation, design and problem-solving.
Practical learning is built into the course. You’ll use engineering software, laboratory activities, simulation, design tasks and project-based learning to apply theory to engineering problems. In your final year, you’ll complete an individual engineering project, giving you the chance to investigate a topic linked to your interests, work-related activity or future career plans. #
Build interdisciplinary engineering confidence
Develop the ability to connect mechanical, electrical and digital engineering ideas, helping you approach problems from different technical perspectives.
Apply theory through practical learning
Put engineering principles into practice through laboratory work, simulation, design tasks and problem-solving activities.
Develop design and analysis skills
Use engineering methods and digital tools to model, test and evaluate technical solutions.
Explore modern engineering systems
Examine how automation, control, manufacturing and connected technologies are used in practical engineering settings.
Consider engineering in a wider context
Explore how engineers respond to technical, environmental, ethical and professional responsibilities when developing products, systems and processes.
Build adaptable professional skills
Develop skills in planning, research, teamwork, technical reporting, problem-solving and using engineering information to support decisions.
Study one module at a time
Focus on one 30-credit module over a six-week block. This approach uses practical, coursework-based assessments to help you build your knowledge step by step with regular feedback.
