UWTSD MSc Engineering graduates already making an impact in Wales

Graduates Mike Williams, Jordan Jenkins and Iwan Dyer all began their journey with UWTSD on the Foundation year progressing onto undergraduate engineering courses in Mechanical and Mechanical & Manufacturing Engineering before undertaking MSc study.

During his MSc, Mike secured a position as a UWTSD employed Research Associate working on Lithium-Ion Battery recycling technology with EV Recycling / Treharne Automotive Engineering. The project is funded by a Welsh Government SMART Partnership and the processes developed have informed both Wales’s first approved Lithium-Ion battery recycling centre and developments in the USA.

Jordan secured positions as a UWTSD lecturer and Research Associate and led a team who secured prestigious UKRI – Engineering Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) funding to undertake an industrial feasibility study into Artificial Intelligence-enabled vision systems for defect detection in adhesive deposition applications. Jordan is also a key team member on the Welsh Government funded SMART Digital Accelerator project.

Whilst nearing the end of his MSc Study, Iwan was successful in gaining employment with a company focussed on defence applications.  This is a long-standing ambition and one of the main drivers for his interest in engineering.
