Introduced by a member of faculty staff and supported by undergraduates in different locations, two universities offer an insight into the teaching and learning environment within their Engineering faculty.
Session time: 16.15-17.15, Thursday 30 June
Introduced by a member of faculty staff and supported by undergraduates in different locations, University of East Anglia and The University of Sheffield offer an insight into the teaching and learning environment within their Engineering faculty.
Each university has 30 minutes to showcase their amazing facilities whilst undergraduate students overlay their experiences of studying within the faculty.
The virtual tour is designed for student groups/individual students for whom this is a great way of furthering their HE research and making meaningful comparisons between universities. Our events are designed so that a group of students can take part from a classroom or students and teachers can take part as individuals, either from school or from home.
University of East Anglia –
In the last 3 years, the School of Engineering at UEA has expanded following a significant £7.4 million investment to develop Productivity East – a regional hub for engineering, technology and management. On this tour, we will introduce our new state of the art facilities and the expertise within the faculty by demonstrating how undergraduate students access them through lectures, tutorials and via exciting and diverse project work.
Starting in Mechanical and Manufacturing, we will describe how students – supported by fully qualified technicians – use the disciplines of materials, mechanics, structures, fluids and thermodynamics, to develop engineering solutions for real life problems.
We’ll then move on to the brand new Electrical and Electronics workshop where students get hands-on experience in designing and assembling small-scale automated solutions using Arduino and basic electronics skills.
Finally, we’ll look at the type of projects you can undertake as an engineering student at UEA. Projects can involve design, research, experimentation, computation and other activities. As part of Productivity East, wherever possible these projects are linked with industry partners, so you could find yourself working alongside your future employer to help discover practical solutions to current and future challenges.
