This course is situated in a new and rapidly growing Sustainable Energy sector, addressing the skills shortage required for the Green Industrial Revolution. This course will prepare you for a diverse set or roles and industries in the move to cleaner energy generation, distribution and consumption. Graduates will acquire advanced-level computational skills sought by the wind, hydro and solar power generation industries.This course is newly developed, current and cutting edge in its approach to addressing existing and emerging Sustainable Energy opportunities. The course provides you with the required theoretical and advanced computational skills to explore the potential and possibilities of Sustainable Energy in a variety of applications to enable a sustainable future. During this course, you will connect and collaborate with aligned industries through live industry and research projects.This course benefits from a strong body of staff expertise and research in the area particularly in relation to advanced computer modelling, simulation and analysis and nanotechnology and advanced materials.
This module will explore current product case studies to understand the process from design concept to prototype and onward to product manufacturing, marketing, and sales.
This module will explore the theories, models and computational skills that scientists and engineers have developed to better understand environmental and industrial flows.
This module is the ?capstone? project in which you will bring together the knowledge, understanding and skills you have developed. You will investigate an engineering problem, implement solutions, critically evaluate, and reflect on your work, and develop your abilities to communicate, self-organise and manage. The CPD component of this module will inform your learning journey both throughout your MSc and after.
This module will introduce the rapidly developing field of nanotechnology and give you the tools to follow, apply and drive development in the field. It will introduce the key concepts and provide an overview of the scope of nanotechnologies, from electronics through photonics to applications of nanomaterials and nanobiotechnology.
The research methods elements of this module will focus on literature searching and critical reviewing strategies, ethical considerations, research design, sampling and quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis techniques using applicable software tools.
This module will explore engineering solutions for managing energy systems in a sustainable way. You will develop an understanding of technologies for improving the efficiency of electrical power systems including electricity generation, distribution, and consumption and discuss technological solutions for mitigating the detrimental impacts of power generation.
This module will teach engineering solutions for managing energy systems in a sustainable way. Technologies for improving the efficiency of electrical power systems in terms of electricity generation, distribution, and consumption will be discussed in detail.
