B12: Engineering

Our Engineering research is organised around three distinct centres:

• Sustainable Environment Research Centre (SERC)
• Engineering Research Centre
• Centre for Automotive and Power Systems Engineering (CAPSE)

SERC includes a range of multi-disciplinary researchers addressing the global challenges of delivering a low-carbon economy, including through the Wales Centre of Excellence for Anaerobic Digestion and Hydrogen Centre.

The  Engineering Research Centre brings together research from the Advanced Materials Testing Centre (AMTeC), Wireless and Optoelectronic Research and Innovation Centre
(WORIC), and the Advance Control and NetTec. 

CAPSE is home to Europe's largest battery research and development centre. It has developed several new methods for safety testing implementations of ISO standards as well as innovative ‘power electronics control’ strategies and algorithms.
