A sub-discipline of mechanical engineering, thermal engineering is a specialised area that deals with maintaining, creating or repairing systems involving the process of heat transfer. A thermal engineer must have advanced knowledge of the heat transfer process so as to allow the energy to be transferred or transformed safely and efficiently.
During a masters in Thermal Engineering, you will have the opportunity to build on the knowledge gained at undergraduate level, taking your skills to the next level. Some modules you might study are:
- Advanced Power
- Experimental Aerodynamics
- Energy and Multi-Physics
- Process Design and Simulation
- Engineering Project Management
