Sheffield Broad Based Engineering
Do you enjoy Maths and Science? Think you might enjoy a career in Engineering? Not sure which field interests you most? Want to experience life at university? If the answer to any of these questions is 'Yes' then you should think about attending Headstart at the University of Sheffield.
During your four days at Sheffield you will carry out exciting, interesting and challenging activities associated with several different engineering disciplines including:
- Aerospace
- Automatic Control and Systems Engineering
- Bio-engineering
- Chemical Engineering
- Civil and Structural Engineering
- Computer Science
- Electronic and Electrical engineering
- Engineering Materials
- Mechanical Engineering
Activities will include, design and build a waterslide out at Rother Valley Country Park, how efficient is your diesel engine?, fly in a flight simulator, how to mend a broken heart, why does candy floss?, why do corns pop? And many more exciting projects.
You will gain an insight into all aspects of university life while you live in a university hall of residence during the course, meet current undergraduates, meet graduates who are now working in industry and have opportunities to meet and discuss engineering with members of the academic staff.
Social aspects of university life are also important and you will be able to relax in the evenings by taking part in activities which last year included bowling, sports evening, barbecues and karaoke.
This Headstart course includes a ‘Dragonfly’ module, where younger students from local schools are mentored by some of the girls attending the main course earlier in the week.
Dragonfly at Sheffield is supported by The Royal Air Force and we are pleased to welcome their participation as Lead Sponsor for the Dragonfly programme. |
