Course overview
All of the courses are of four years’ duration and have a common first year consisting of three quarters Engineering Science (Mechanics, Thermo-fluids, Digital Logic, Materials, Elasticity and Electricity), and one quarter Mathematics. The course for the final examination starts in the second year, during which undergraduates continue the study of basic, general engineering science. In the third year, all undergraduates start specialist subjects (in Engineering Science this means a particular branch of engineering), and project work in a design team. Specialist studies are continued in the fourth year, together with the individual project work.
Typically, Engineers have two tutorials each week. During the first three years, tuition and classes are provided by the College tutors. Worcester has two tutors in Engineering Science; Professor Papachristodoulou and Dr Mostert.
