Engineering at The University of Edinburgh

Engineering has a long history at The University of Edinburgh, spanning over 100 years of research and development. Engineers apply technical knowledge to develop, produce and manage systems of the future. The professional engineer enables society to fulfil its aspirations regarding standard of living, convenience and recreation, whilst minimising the cost to the environment. In order to do this engineers require not only a thorough understanding of the technical principles, but also the wider range of management and communication skills. These are needed to allow them to assume responsibility at all levels in their company or organisation.

At The University of Edinburgh we teach Engineering across four distinct disciplines, namely:

• Chemical Engineering
• Civil and Environmental Engineering
• Electronics
• Mechanical Engineering

Further information about the school can be obtained from our publicity leaflet as can information about life in the City of Edinburgh.
