Engineering Science
专业详情
A key aspect of your research experience in the department will be exposure to the broad sweep of today’s engineering research. The department’s research groups cluster into the following fields:
- biomedical engineering
- chemical and process engineering
- civil and offshore engineering
- electrical and opto-electronic engineering
- energy
- information, vision and control engineering
- solid mechanics and materials engineering
- thermofluids and turbomachinery.
However, the department is committed to considering engineering as a unified subject, allowing interdisciplinary research to flourish.
In the first year, you will develop research skills in two ways. Firstly, you will read the current literature, often in reading groups, and attend relevant research seminars and lectures to gain insight from world-class experts in your area of investigation, and attend appropriate training courses to develop skills for your project and future career. Secondly, you will design and build apparatus, develop software, or both to address your own research topic. Often there is external involvement and you will develop your work in collaboration with researchers from industry and other research organisations.
