We run subject workshops for Year 12 students which can be delivered at your school or college or at City, University of London.
ENGINEERING SYSTEMS AT CITY
Systems Engineers provide scientific and technical expertise to understand, design and utilize engineering, systems thinking principles and new technologies to organize the body of engineering knowledge required for the development of the better engineered systems of tomorrow, meeting global demands. At City, this course takes an interdisciplinary approach to complex systems and the analysis of their interactions, leading to the successful real-world application of engineered systems.
