Engineering<br />

Engineers are innovators, engineers are creative and engineers must find efficient and sustainable<br />

solutions to some <strong>of</strong> the greatest challenges facing the world in the 21st century. The <strong>University</strong>’s<br />

Engineering degree courses are exciting and up-to-date and are ranked highly by the pr<strong>of</strong>essional<br />

accrediting institutions. This mark <strong>of</strong> quality means that you will be taught by engineers who are well<br />

known nationally and internationally in their discipline as successful researchers and practitioners.<br />

This status gives the degree courses a leading edge emphasis and with the state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art<br />

laboratories you will receive an ideal balance <strong>of</strong> theoretical knowledge and practical application.<br />

A broad range <strong>of</strong> engineering degree courses are available with either civil, coastal, mechanical,<br />

marine, electronics or robotics at their core.<br />

<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Plymouth</strong> degrees<br />

• BEng (Hons) Robotics<br />

• The challenge for today’s electrical<br />

and electronic engineers is to design<br />

smarter devices and systems that<br />

do more but use less energy. This<br />

could be more efficient domestic<br />

appliances and ‘smart’ houses,<br />

‘drive by wire’ cars or more efficient<br />

industrial utilities. The BEng (Hons)<br />

Electrical and Electronic Engineering<br />

degree course was recently reaccredited<br />

by the Institution <strong>of</strong><br />

Engineering and Technology achieving<br />

the maximum score <strong>of</strong> 32/32.<br />

• Robotics development is moving<br />

1,000 times faster than human<br />

evolution. The impact on industrial<br />

and home automation is significant<br />

and this systems-based degree<br />

course prepares the student for these<br />

exciting and varied technologies.<br />

The BEng (Hons) Robotics degree<br />

course was recently re-accredited<br />

by the Institution <strong>of</strong> Engineering<br />

and Technology achieving the<br />

maximum score <strong>of</strong> 32/32.<br />

• The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Plymouth</strong> is<br />

the UK National Robot Football<br />

Team Champion and frequently<br />

sponsors its students to attend<br />

matches all over the world!<br />
