Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering

As one of the largest engineering schools in the UK, the Wolfson School of Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering from Loughborough University is a leader in technological research and innovation, with extensive national and international connections to industry. We are passionate about our research and continually strive to strengthen and stimulate our portfolio.

Key Features

Our industrially focused research programme Mechanical, Electrical and Manufacturing Engineering from Loughborough University enables us to work closely with some of the world’s most renowned engineering and commercial companies.

The breadth of our research activity is captured in ourresearch themes, which are served with activities from ourresearch groups, and a number of cutting-edgeresearch centresand institutes which are hosted by the School. These include:

• theCentre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology(CREST)
• theCentre for Biological Engineering(CBE)
• theSports Technology Institute(STI)
• theIntelligent Automation Centre
• theIndustrial Policy Research Centre
• theCentre for Sustainable Manufacturing and Recycling Technologies(SMART)
• theAdvanced Virtual Reality (VR) Centre

• the5G Research Centre(5GRC)

Furthermore, we host and lead Centres for Doctoral Training in Embedded Intelligence (EI) and Regenerative Medicine,National Hub in Photovoltaics, and an EPSRC Platform onEmbedded Integrated Intelligent Systems for Manufacturing.

Loughborough recently invested over £70 million into developing the west side of campus, where the Wolfson School is based. In particular, we have improved our high-tech teaching space, laboratories and workshops to ensure you have access to specialist equipment which links to current research activities.
