Use your advanced research skills to further the growth and development of mechanical and manufacturing engineering.

You will join an active research community and work with academics, peers and partner organisations who have demonstrated research success in a range of specialties, including:

• mechanical engineering:
  • aerodynamics
  • alternative energy technologies (e.g. solar cells)
  • applied heat and mass transfer
  • conservation and renewable energy (CARE)
  • combustion and fuels
  • computational engineering (including CAD, FEA, CFD)
  • dynamics and control and noise vibration harshness engine and supercharger technologies
  • industrial and vehicle
  • sports engineering
  • vehicle design and crashworthiness
  • virtual engineering and design.
• manufacturing engineering:
  • additive manufacturing
  • computer-integrated manufacturing
  • design for manufacturing
  • forming and machining technology
  • high-speed automation
  • operations
  • polymeric and composite product development
  • quality management in manufacturing
  • robotics, laser technology.

You will be able to pursue an academic career in a university or be employed in senior leadership and management positions in government, scientific and industrial research laboratories.
