Overview
The practical aspects of this course may pose difficulties to students with disabilities. For such students, alternative arrangements will be made available. Any student wishing to discuss this further should contact the School Disability Co-ordinator.
This course focuses on practical and design aspects of engineering. It features a programme of laboratory experiments complementing work in other courses. A series of projects illustrating different features of engineering design are introduced in briefing lectures interspersed with systematic design lectures. Environmental issues are addressed and students engage in a management exercise. A broader perspective of engineering is given in the series of professional engineering practice lectures by outside speakers. Workshop practice gives students hands-on experience of those of the following that the student has not already met in the prerequisite course: metal turning, shaping, milling, welding, heat-treatment and casting, surveying, construction engineering and metrology.
Structure
