As Director of Studies you provide the interface between College and the Engineering Department, and should expect to pass information both ways.
The Department (via the Undergraduate Teaching Office) needs you to pass on information about students for whom you direct studies (e.g. students leaving the course, students experiencing difficulties which may impact their studies). The College needs you to have a working understanding of how teaching in the Department operates, and to alert them to significant changes.

All lecturers are responsible for arranging for the printing and distribution of their own lecture handouts, although the porters will help distributing handouts in LT0. Please aim not to print any more than is required. Any spare copies of Part I handouts can be deposited in the racks in the Inglis Building.
The Teaching Office will notify Print Room of the numbers of IA and IB students for printing quantities.

All staff are encouraged to consider attending courses run by the University's Personal and Professional Development section to help them to improve their teaching. The mechanisms we use to assess our teaching are the fast-feedback system whereby students write about any immediate issues and then course surveys, which lecturers ask students to participate in, usually in the last lecture of each course/module.

A standard set of data books is issued to all students, and these are available in every examination. You may obtain a copy of these data books from the Teaching Office. Some third-year modules issue their own additional datasheets – these will be provided by the module leader or lecturer.
Electronic versions can be found on Moodle.

The Department of Engineering has dedicated Audio Visual Support within the IT Services Division that manage and maintain the audio visual infrastructure.
Significant modifications have been made to our teaching/lecturing spaces to enable teaching to go ahead in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our lecture theatres can now be used either for live-streaming of content, or as recording studios. Details on how to use the new systems can be found here.

Although amendments to UK copyright law from 1 October 2014 make it easier to use copyright material, note that material used in teaching, or held on-line even on closed websites, is still subject to Copyright Compliance legislation. The CUED library provides some guidance here.
