BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering with Renewables

The Mechanical Engineering and Renewable Energy Bachelor’s degree at the University of Dundee equips students with practical skills and knowledge, offering a firm foundation in mechanical engineering, while focussing on renewable energy technologies. It covers hydro, wind, solar and biomass power generation, as well as the design and operation of energy systems and machinery.Course Content: The course includes fundamental engineering principles, computer-aided design, materials engineering, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and geotechnical engineering. In addition, students will learn about energy conversion methods and renewable energy technologies such as wind, solar and wave energies, and also about the environmental impact of energy use. In the final year, there’s an opportunity to work on a group project and an individual project that is often linked to one of our research areas.Key Modules: Key Modules include ‘Design and Manufacture’, 'Materials and Manufacturing', 'Engineering Applications', 'Engineering Thermodynamics', 'Mathematical Methods for Engineers', 'Engineering Mechanics', and 'Electrical & Electronic Principles'.Accreditations: This course is accredited by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), allowing students direct progression to Chartered Engineer (CEng) status after further experience in the field. Future Careers: The broad scope of this course opens up a range of career paths in fields such as consultancy, project management, design and construction, commissioning and operation in the power and energy sectors, and the manufacturing industry. Graduation from this course prepares you for a career in the energy industry and more widely in the many industries where mechanical engineering is important.For more information on this course, please visit the official course page.
