The tools we use every day, and the power that drives them, rely on ambitious and innovative engineers. From the phone in your pocket to nuclear safety systems and self-driving cars, our society continually interacts with what we study in the School of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. We're a recently-formed school, uniting the expertise of the School of Energy and Electronic Engineering and the School of Mechanical and Design Engineering. Our merger is underpinned by multi-million pound investments in new robotics and artificial intellence, energy and space engineering laboratories. Together, we can undertake even more ambitious teaching and research into the ways that engineering can lead to creative and practical solutions for societal issues. Our staff play a crucial role in addressing both national and global challenges. They've developed diagnostic tools for nuclear power plants, enhanced the functionality and usability of prostheses, and used artificial intelligence to predict electricity consumption, cancer surgery patient outcomes, and weather events in a changing climate. We're also working to improve safety in air traffic control, and researching the advanced materials and manufacturing processes that can advance sustainability goals across a wide range of industries, including the space sector. Our culture of collaboration and free exchange of ideas in research and teaching encourages and challenges our students. This open and welcoming culture of collaboration allows the free exchange of ideas with experienced and supportive lecturers, so that both our researchers and our students are challenged productively. Teaching Our active and engaging teaching supports our students as they gain the skills and knowledge for successful employment after graduation. Students challenge assumptions, develop their own projects, and work with peers both in the classroom and in external competitions. We run undergraduate and postgraduate courses in electrical and electronic engineering, renewable energy, mechanical engineering, manufacturing, product design, robotics, industrial design and innovation engineering. We support our students to achieve their goals through weekly drop-in sessions with academic staff, support workshops, Engineering Surgeries, the Maths Cafe, the Manufacturing Club, Electronic Society and student-led software classes. Many of our students also take part in the Formula Student Team where they build a car that's raced competitively against other universities. We champion gender equaility and inclusivity through our Female in Engineeering Foundation Society.
