The Manufacturing Engineering Centre (MEC) forms part of the Systems Engineering Division of the School of Engineering, University of Wales Cardiff. Over the last three years, the MEC has seen a spectacular ten-fold expansion. The number of partnerships formed with industry has multiplied and the Centre has won research income in excess of £11M. The MEC has developed an international reputation for its leading edge research and development in advanced manufacturing and information technology. To support its research programme and the world-class facilities now available, the Centre has assembled a strong team comprising 70 externally-funded post-doctoral and doctoral researchers and 5 marketing/administrative staff. The MEC houses modern laboratories including 2 that are industrially sponsored: the Mitutoyo Metrology Centre and the Siemens Automation & Drives Centre.
