If you wish to qualify in an Engineering Area, at least six modules from your total of ten must fall within one of the Engineering Areas  as defined by the Faculty Board of Engineering.  A definitive list for the coming year will be available to you in the Easter term prior to you making your provisional selection on COMET.  You may choose to qualify only in 'Engineering', which means that you may choose any combination of modules (subject to restrictions on sets described below, the requirement to take a minimum number of management modules and restructions on Groups I and S described above). It would also be sensible to discuss with your Director of Studies before choosing a very eclectic mix of courses, in case a lack of overlap makes the workload unusually high.

You must take two management modules ("E" modules, 4D16 if you qulaify in Civil Engineering and 4I1 Strategic Management across IIA and IIB. You must take at least one management module in IIA.

In both the third year and the fourth year, the list of modules available will be subdivided into approximately twenty sets. Lectures and examinations for each set will be timetabled at the same time. Details of clashing sets for both years will be published in the Easter term. You are not permitted to take more than one module from any clashing set.

The titles of all the Engineering Areas for which you are qualified will appear on each of your third and fourth-year transcripts. It is likely – although not essential – that some of your Engineering Areas at Part IIB will be the same as that at Part IIA.

You must also complete a Part IIA Extension Activity as part of your coursework programme; there is no restriction on your choice of activity. More details of these, and of the other elements of Part IIA coursework, both practicals and projects, will be issued at the start of the Michaelmas term.

The Easter term of your third year starts with module examinations.  For the remainder of the term, you will undertake two projects selected from a wide range of topics, including Foreign Language projects (currently Chinese, French, German, Spanish and Japanese). A list of those offered for the current year is available on the Third-Year Undergraduate Teaching Homepage.  These Third-Year Projects do not have to be in your Engineering Area.
