The Faculty of Engineering is one of the four faculties which make up the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland. The faculty contains multiple departments offering many different undergraduate and postgraduate courses. These range from BEng, MEng and MSc courses to doctorates throughout the faculty.
The Faculty of Engineering at Strathclyde is the largest of its kind in Scotland. The university is renowned for its close links with industry.
It teaches over 4,000 students, who come from many different countries. 3,000 of these are undergraduates, 650 are postgraduates being taught, and 500 are at the university to do research. It provides many opportunities to get students into these companies for experience or even full-time work.
The faculty has eight departments. These are:
The department moved to the James-Weir building in August 2013.
Part of the department contains The Centre for Research in Sustainability and Design (CRiDAS). This is a centre that works on the implementation and improvement of technology to help reduce environmental and social impacts of buildings.
Strathclyde was ranked the 11th best university for architecture in 2013 by TheCompleteUniversityGuide.
In Biomedical Engineering, people work at the intersection of engineering, the life sciences and healthcare. They take principles from applied science (including mechanical, electrical, chemical and computer engineering) and physical sciences (including physics, chemistry and mathematics) and apply them to biology and medicine. The goal is to better understand, replace or fix a target system to ultimately improve the quality of healthcare.
The Departement of Biomedical Engineering is located at Wolfson Centre. The Department incorporates the National Centre for Prosthetics and Orthotics which is one of only two institutions in the UK offering undergraduate and postgraduate education in Prosthetics and Orthotics. The Centre's interests in training, education and research span the fields of prosthetics, orthotics and related aspects of the provision of aids for the disabled.
The Strathclyde University Department of Chemical and Process Engineering is located at James Weir Building. The staff in this section are widely praised by their current and former students, with many of them complimenting them on their teaching methods. Chemical Engineering at Strathclyde was rated the best in Scotland in the last Scottish Higher Education Funding Council Teaching Quality Assessment. All of the BEng, MEng and MSc courses are fully accredited by the Institution of Chemical Engineers. The course offers a number of challenges, intellectual satisfaction, flexibility and future prospects.
