After Part IB of the Engineering Tripos students may, within the Faculty of Engineering, choose to study Part II of the Engineering Tripos or the Manufacturing Engineering Tripos. The opportunity also exists for a small number of CUED students reading for the Engineering Tripos to spend their third year at the National University of Singapore (NUS) or CentraleSupelec  Paris(CSP), returning to Cambridge for their fourth year.

Much of the administration of the third and fourth-year courses within the Department is based on an on-line web/database system called COMET (Cambridge Online Management of Engineering Teaching). In the Easter term, between Friday of week 4 and the end of Full Term, you must log on to COMET and make a provisional choice of your 3rd year course preference (Engineering IIA, MET IIA, or exchange).  All students are required to make a provisional choice of Part IIA Engineering Area and modules – for MET and exchange students these are as a ‘backup’.

You will have the opportunity to update your modules during the long vacation, and again when you return in October. Module choices must be finalised by Wednesday of week 1 of the Michaelmas term for your Michaelmas modules, and Wednesday of week 1 of the Lent term for your Lent modules. COMET will check that your selection is valid and will offer suggestions if it is not.
