UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE

Description:

Cambridge Broad Based Engineering

 

You will be treated as though you are a first-year undergraduate, with lectures, experimental work and projects in the University's Department of Engineering. You will live in Jesus College and experience a Cambridge supervision (be taught in pairs by a senior member of the University). Some of the topics will stretch you considerably but you should enjoy them if you're good at mathematics and physics.

 

Topics likely to be included:

 

  • Structures: Learning how to analyse the forces in structures made from trusses 
  • Fluids: Learn why water may suddenly jump when flowing in a channel 
  • Engines: Strip down a diesel engine, rebuild it and get it going
  • Materials: Test a number of materials and discover how they behave and why
  • Design: Design, construct, program and test robot vehicles
