Overview

Much of our work involves strong industrial links across a range of sectors and through our expertise, skills and experience we work together with industry to identify new areas of interest.

We offer a stimulating environment for study and research, and a lively community of over 30 academics and around 100 postgraduates and research staff. We have extensive laboratory and workshop facilities and our staff are actively engaged in a range of high-profile research initiatives across Scotland, UK and internationally. For example, we are leading amongst UK universities in promoting energy activities through our “Energy Academy”, connecting all energy-related research across the University.

Research

Institute of Mechanical, Process and Energy Engineering at Heriot-Watt University is supported by a mixture of UK, regional, national and international research council funding and industrial funding comes from companies with research centres spread across the world.

Our projects address global challenges in several areas, including energy, manufacturing and health that are underpinned by multidisciplinary advances in science and engineering.
