All students take the same four 3-hour examinations at the end of their first year. These papers and the lecture courses examined in them are:
 

Paper 1

Mechanical engineering

Mechanics (16 lectures)
Mechanical vibrations (12 lectures)
Thermofluid mechanics (24 lectures)

Paper 2

Structures & materials

Structural mechanics (24 lectures)
Materials (20 lectures)

Paper 3

Electrical & information engineering

Physical principles of electronics, electromagnetics (12 lectures)
Linear circuits and devices, AC power (22 lectures)
Digital circuits and information processing (16 lectures)

Paper 4

Mathematical methods

Mathematics (39 lectures)
Computing (2 lectures + coursework lectures)

Engineering applications (8 lectures)

These sessions illustrate the applications of engineering principles in the widest possible context over a broad range of technologies.

Examples papers

One examples paper is issued for about every four lectures, on Wednesdays according to the termly schedule. The material is followed up in College supervisions. 

The schedule for the examples paper release can be found on the Examples paper Moodle page. Solutions (cribs) of each examples paper will be made available to students online approximately three weeks after the issue of the paper.

Coursework

Important engineering skills are developed in a wide variety of coursework exercises. The Michaelmas term includes induction activities which lay foundations for the rest of the course.
