There is a large Design and Project Office equipped with more than eighty powerful workstations. The library has some 30,000 books and about 350 current journals are taken. There are extensive mechanical and electrical workshops for servicing the needs of teaching, undergraduate projects and research. Students may use the workshop facilities under supervision. In the Mathematical Methods course there are two parallel classes taught at different levels.
Students select a class appropriate to their background in school mathematics.
Seventeen laboratory experiments are performed covering the behaviour of materials, components and systems. In the third term of the second year you can select two topics from five professional engineering activities plus a foreign language option. Coursework includes over twenty laboratory experiments, together with management and computing exercises. There is an integrated design project where you work in a team of six to design, build and test a robot vehicle. The third term of the third year is devoted entirely to project work where students choose two activities from a variety of design and computer-based projects, European projects in a foreign language or a surveying project.
