What is an Engineer ???

Just look around, almost everything you see, are made by engineers If an engineer didn’t design it, then an engineer built it !

Concept Design Manufacturing Works

Engineers make things work

– Part 3, Part 4 and MSc studentsinvolved in these research activities

– Updating course material Companies also provide student project ideas


What do the Professions think about City? May 2010 accreditation of MEng and BEng programmes

commended• Mix of international and home students• High levels of industrial content and flavour• Design projects at different levels and relevant field

trips July 2010 IMechE Formula Student event

• City entered Class 1A Low Carbon category• City was lead quote in the IMechE press release

July 2013 IMechE Formula Student event• Competed successfully in all disciplines • Ranked 24 (out of 109) in the endurance event

June 2013 External Examiner commended• High quality enthusiastic teaching • High standard specialised subjects• Variety of design project covering all topics


So, how do I get here? A Levels: UCAS 320 (BEng) or 360 (MEng) – including AS

Maths essential at B/A grade (BEng/MEng); Physics desirable

IB: 30 (BEng) with Maths 5 in higher level Or 35 (MEng) with Maths 6 in higher level

Also other equivalent courses like BTCH but with B in A-level Maths
