Syllabus
Our Explore Engineering course has been carefully designed to ensure that all students learn as much as possible about the various options available to them if they pursue Engineering at university.This is why we get professionals in each Engineering discipline to speak to you about what the day-to-day is like and how you can pursue that career.By the end of the course, you will have a clearer idea about whether Engineering is for you, and which specialism interests you the most.
The two-week course is split into ten sessions covering the following:
Introduction to Engineering degrees and careers: Explore what it means to be an Engineer and learn the strategies for success when applying to universities
Mathematics for Engineering: Highlight the fundamental mathematical concepts for Engineering and test your skills with university level problems
Materials Engineering: Learn what makes a material fit for purpose and challenge yourself with some real-life material characterisation
Structural Engineering: What makes a good bridge? Design simple structures and then calculate important values like forces, deformations and support reactions
Computer Science in Engineering: Explore the use of cutting edge technologies such as Machine Learning and Computer Vision to solve Engineering problems
Hydraulics and Pneumatics: What links COVID-19 and a gas gun? Understand the theoretical underpinnings of two of the most widely used Engineering principles
Aeronautics and Astronautics: Learn to fly through the air and space by applying some fundamental Engineering laws
Electrical Engineering: Investigate the application of electricity in some of the greatest Engineering advances ever made
The Business of Engineering: See what makes Engineers great business leaders and compete in a group Business and Engineering challenge
The Future of Engineering: Can you predict the future and prepare for jobs that don't even exist right now?
