How is our engineering postgraduate degree different?

Research is a key activity within the faculty and we encourage large-scale studies and a flexible approach to interdisciplinary collaborations with other academic institutions and members of the industry in order to tackle the wider range of issues facing our society and the natural world.

The Faculty of Engineering has invested heavily in the student experience and places research-led teaching at the core of our programme.

In many areas, our students are clearly leading the world in their discoveries and developments.  

Why pursue a postgraduate degree in engineering?

Engineering is not simply an academic field that deals with technology, statistics and science. It is an exciting and rewarding discipline that has a much wider scope, ranging from basic science to applied technology. Engineers make a significant difference in the lives of millions of people. Through identifying problems and seeking new solutions, they create and design items that benefit the lives of everyone, from cars, computers and buildings, through to life-saving equipment, the generation of energy and medical procedures. Engineering is not about what the world is, it is about what the world can be.

No longer bound by the constraints of traditional education, you have the power to chart your own course, delving into the depths of knowledge whenever and wherever suits you best.

The course champions a transdisciplinary approach, teaching you how to look out for, and capture the similarities and structures of the dynamics of different systems and processes, how to extract useful information from typically large amounts of data generated by such systems, and how to optimise and control their behaviour.

Our curriculum spans an array of critical subjects, including system modelling, signal processing, dynamics, automatic control, computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. By immersing yourself in these cutting-edge disciplines, you'll gain a profound understanding of intelligent systems and their real-world applications, leading to the design, development, and analysis of sophisticated smart systems that are reshaping industries worldwide.

Watch nimble the mixed-breed dog demolish the 2024 westminster masters agility course in under 30 seconds, share this article.

Nimble lived up to its name this weekend.

The 2024 Westminster Dog Show is here, and as we’ve seen in years past, the Masters Agility competition is thrilling as heck (and sometimes, it’s heartbreaking ).

This year? We got some history. Nimble is a mixed-breed dog from Maryland, but it’s known as an All-American Dog in the competition (and they’re allowed in the Agility contest). And what Nimble did was astounding on the way to becoming the first All-American to win the competition: Nimble ran the course in under 30 seconds with a time of 28.76 seconds. WOW!

Check this flawless run out from the eventual winner:

Max Homa is finally having his Masters breakthrough

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Max Homa walked up to the beginning of the most famous three holes in golf, alone, unconcerned with the legend behind him. Unconcerned with the surroundings or the stage.

Back on the 10th green, Tiger Woods and Jason Day took their time reading putts and finishing the hole. But Homa had his par. He had his co-lead at the Masters. So for a full two minutes, Homa walked ahead, up the hill to the start of Amen Corner.

This time was going to be different. This time, he was going to worry about himself.

He thought back to his journal scribblings from Thursday night, a habit he’s been focusing on the past year. He writes what he’s grateful for and mental goals for the day. And Thursday night he wrote a simple mantra.

However good I am is however good I am.

Go back two years ago to Scotland. Homa was living his dream. The Southern California kid who spent years waiting along the ropes to get high fives from his idol, Woods, was paired with The Cat for the first time. He was giddy. And of course, that first time wasn’t in a casual environment. It was at the Open Championship. At St. Andrews. The best player of his era at the home of golf for perhaps the final time.

Homa missed the cut.

He shot 73 and 72 to miss out on the weekend by a shot. Homa only spoke glowingly about that experience and the magical moment of standing back with Matt Fitzpatrick to watch Woods walk Swilcan Bridge on 18 to a standing ovation. But playing next to his hero, Homa provided just another data point in a long-building set of Homa’s struggling to put himself in the mix on golf’s biggest stages.

Max Homa has never been here before, 6-under par at the Masters and tied with Bryson DeChambeau and Scottie Scheffler for the lead. The 33-year-old has risen up the golfing ranks the past four years to go from fighting for a PGA Tour card to one of the biggest stars in golf. He’s won big tournaments like the Genesis Invitational and Farmers Insurance Open. He broke out in a U.S. Presidents Cup win and was a rare bright spot in a Ryder Cup loss. He’s likable and cool and funny. He cracks jokes on podcasts and does on-course interviews during rounds. The golf world roots for Homa.

But he’s never been in contention at a major. Not even close. Not until this weekend.

There are two ways that good golfers without a major get discussed. There are the chokers and those who don’t even compete. Homa has been the latter. He is the No. 11 golfer in the world, according to Official World Golf Ranking, yet he’s never been better than tied for 11th at a major through 36 holes. OK, that doesn’t quite sell it. He’s only been better than 35th halfway through a major twice . When he was tied for 11th at last year’s Open Championship, he was still nine shots back. The reality is Homa has been somebody who doesn’t show up on these stages. He has never even been in the mix.

That’s a key differentiation to make, though. Because Homa is not a choker. Homa is becoming one of the more clutch golfers on the PGA Tour. He thrived in big moments to go 4-0 at the Presidents Cup. At the 2023 Ryder Cup, as much of the U.S. team looked flat, he went 3-1-1 to be the Americans’ best player. His signature win at Riviera in 2021 came via playoff. His 2022 win at the Wells Fargo came with a Sunday 68 while second-placed Keegan Bradley shot 72. Last year at Torrey Pines, a Sunday 66 gave Homa his sixth PGA Tour win.

Majors, though? He gets too excited. He gets jacked up. He loves this stuff, the kind of fan whose first golf memory was being 6 and watching Woods walk up 18 to win his first green jacket. Sometimes passion is good. Sometimes it costs you.

“I just think I get here and I try too hard,” Homa said before last year’s U.S. Open, before another missed cut.

“Some parts of me that I really like is I’m a perfectionist and it makes me work really, really hard. I’m very diligent. But that same part, it’s like a double-edged sword. I get in these things and I can’t seem to separate — I can’t seem to understand that it’s OK to make bogeys and it’s OK to mess up.”

At Augusta, Homa learned how to mess up.

Homa put his drive way left and into the fairway bunkers on No. 5, one of the more dangerous spots at this historic course. That’s bogey territory. Try to do too much, and it’s double-bogey territory. Homa was 7-under par at this point and tied for the lead, but Augusta was vicious all day, sustained 20 mph winds rendering risks foolish. The old Homa would have tried to get that shot back with a risky approach into No. 5’s tricky green.

“Trying to get every ounce back doesn’t really work,” Homa said, “and I’ve tried that.”

So Homa laid up to 147 yards away. He pulled out a wedge for his third shot and stuck it 8 feet from the hole, and he made the par putt. He saved the hole.

It should not be a surprise that Homa appears to be having his major weekend breakthrough. He has one of those beautiful, athletic swings when his arms go out wide on the follow-through and his upper body tilts back. So when he shot that first-round 67 — finishing it early Friday morning — it was a reminder of that talent. He birdied 3, 5, 8 and 9 with strong but unaggressive shots rewarded by beautiful putting. He responded to a bogey on 12 with a birdie on 13 thanks to a great pitch. And on 17 — one of the hardest holes on the course — he landed a 157-yard iron shot inches from the pin. It was one of four birdies on 17 all round.

“As solid as he hits it, it’s just a matter of time before he starts winning in bunches,” Woods said. “I saw it up front. He doesn’t really mis-hit shots. That’s something you just have to do around this golf course.”

But Homa’s being here, tied atop the leaderboard, is because of Round 2. As those winds eliminated golfer after golfer from the top of the leaderboard, Homa played steady golf. He committed to his plan, put himself in good positions and saved pars. After going 2-under on the front nine, he had one bogey on 11 and finished with seven straight pars. Only one player shot in the 60s all day.

“That was about as happy as you could be to be walking off of a golf course,” Homa said. “That was so hard.”

He’s here, and getting here has always been the problem. Now, he can show the world who he really is.

A year ago, Homa’s caddie Joe Greiner told Golf Magazine, “When he’s around the lead, he’s incredible. He doesn’t choke. But there’s still this holdover, early in the week, where he needs Thursday and Friday to validate himself. To remember he belongs.”

Homa can now enter Saturday at the Masters fully aware that he belongs. He can write in his journal that he’s in the final groups in a major. He might write that he’s grateful for the people around him. His wife, Lacey. His 17-month-old son, Cam. His friends back at the house. “I have a wife that does not let me gloat,” he said, “and I have friends back at the house that will just want to hear about what Tiger did today.”

These people ensure that he’ll leave this Masters no different from how he was at the beginning of the week. Being 6-under isn’t going to change anything this Friday night.

“I’ll probably change a diaper or two, and wake up tomorrow and go back to work.”

Climate protesters disrupt Westminster dog show agility course. ‘No dogs on a dead planet.’

Some unscheduled humans entered the agility competition at the 2024 Westminster Kennel Club dog show .

It was a night for dogs darting through obstacles, but climate protesters ran onto the canine course twice at the Westminster Masters Agility Championship at Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens Saturday.

“NO DOGS ON A DEAD PLANET,” read the bright orange banners they unfurled during the taping of the show for Fox .

The climate activists were booed by some in the crowd and swiftly yanked out of the arena.

Before being detained by security and handcuffed by police, two of the protesters told NJ Advance Media they represented Extinction Rebellion NYC .

Extinction Rebellion , founded in the United Kingdom, uses protests and appearances at public events to draw attention to the global climate crisis .

In March, the group drew attention for a protest during a performance of the Broadway play “An Enemy of the People” starring Jeremy Strong and Michael Imperioli.

Mar Kelly was one of the first two protesters to disrupt the New York dog show Saturday night.

Kelly, 60, who grew up in Boonton, told NJ Advance Media that she’s an environmental scientist.

She ran into the middle of the dog agility course with Meredith Faltin of Jackson Heights, Queens to jeers from the crowd.

“I love the dog show, I watch it on TV, I go to it,” Kelly said. “And we disrupt things we love.”

Faltin told Westminster officials and arena security that they were there to “sound the alarm” about the climate crisis.

Since the event was not broadcast live and the protesters knew their stunt would likely be cut out of the show before it airs Sunday afternoon on Fox , Kelly told NJ Advance Media that fellow Extinction Rebellion members would post photos and video of the action on social media.

Minutes later, two more protesters from the group ran from the audience into the agility course with a second banner. They laid down on the ground before being dragged away by Westminster staff and security.

It wasn’t long before images of the protests turned up on the group’s X (formerly Twitter) account.

“We humans are less concerned about vulnerable wildlife than we are about pet dogs,” Extinction Rebellion said in an X thread. “All animals are mutually dependent, including humans, and humans, too, will suffer as animals become increasingly vulnerable and head towards extinction.”

“Dog shows, which focus on the beauty of animals rather than on their essential role in ecosystems or on their survival, are a poignant illustration of this,” they continued.

One video clip the group shared showed a dog show staffer tackling a protester.

“No matter how brutal the response is, we’ll keep pushing,” their message said.

At least nine police officers responded to the scene. The four climate protesters were led away in handcuffs.

While the traditional Westminster show, which starts Monday , is about breed conformation, which would be the “beauty” part, the agility portion of competition is about speed and precision.

In that segment of the 148th Westminster Kennel Club dog show , dogs navigate weave poles, jump through a hoop and careen through a tunnel as part of the timed obstacle course.

Truant, a border collie , won the Westminter agility championship in 2023 with his owner, Cynthia Hornor of Ellicott City, Maryland , in an impressive 28.68 seconds .

Like agility, the Westminster Masters Obedience Championship , which happened earlier Saturday, hinges on an airtight bond between dog and owner.

Zayne, a border collie from Caseyville, Illinois, and his owner Kim Berkley won the obedience competition.

The winner of the 2024 agility competition will be announced during the broadcast , which airs Sunday from 2 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET on Fox .

Westminster Kennel Club dog show will name its best in show Tuesday, May 14 live on FS1 (the final runs from 7:30 to about 11 p.m.).

The 2023 best in show winner was Buddy Holly , a 6-year-old petit basset griffon Vendéen .
