Computer science provides solutions to the ever-increasing information challenges in the modern world. Industries need people who can extract and analyse information from the massive datasets generated by engineering processes and devices. Big data presents both a challenge and an opportunity in engineering practice across various industries, ranging from construction and manufacturing, to transport and the energy sector. In this double-degree course, you will: • gain theoretical and practical skills to solve engineering problems, by designing and building more efficient software or by exploiting big data • be able to combine mechanical or mechatronics engineering with your computational and mathematical flair to create cutting-edge controller software • be able to pair electrical and computer systems engineering or software engineering with computer science, to create innovative solutions at either the hardware or software ends of the IT spectrum • specialise in data science and learn how to build and use analytical tools and simulation software to visualise and interpret data from engineering systems of all kinds, from manufacturing and transportation to energy and water.
