MEng TEAM PROJECT
Ready to take on the challenge of an MEng degree?
In the final year of an MEng you will complete a team project directly funded by industry or inspired by industrial needs. Past projects have included developing an instrumented training wheelchair for para-athletes, creating a haptic glove for remote handling, and developing a cyber-secure electricity management system in smart cities.
Don't just take our word for it. Watch the video and hear from students, academics and industry leaders all sharing what awaits you on the demo day!

MEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering
"One module that stood out in my course is the Embedded Systems Project, where I worked with other bright-minded individuals to build a line-following buggy.
It was an incredible experience to collaborate with other engineering students to navigate technical challenges and to work towards a common goal together in order to compete to design the fastest buggy. This is really useful as teamworking is a crucial skill in industry and I am grateful that the department has prepared me well. "
"I enjoy the hands-on coursework where you will be implementing code, or software on an actual device and the satisfaction you get when you finish and it works!”
"What made me choose Manchester over other unis was firstly the hands-on project that is incorporated in every year of the degree where you get to implement the theory you've been taught. Secondly, the chance to be taught in the Home of Engineering and Materials! And lastly, the amazing research side of Manchester.”
