By selecting a good school, finding out which field of engineering interests them most, and applying themselves to the program, international students will come out of undergraduate school as a highly educated engineer. The requirements for an engineering major varies by university. However, most have the basic structure of engineering prerequisites and core courses. To begin with, students pursuing an undergraduate degree will need to take 60 general education courses. General education courses are the same for all students, no matter the degree program.
These courses cover virtually every topic and provide introductory principles to each. At some point in the first two years of study an international student should meet with an academic advisor and declare engineering as a major.
After these core courses are completed a student will start on their major class requirements that focus on the most important engineering material. So what classes does an engineering major need to take while enrolled as an undergraduate? There are several different classes that are made prerequisite, core, and elective courses. Each class must be completed with a passing grade of "C" or better.
The first subject that is important to engineering majors is mathematics. Students are expected to take courses in Statistics, Algebra and multiple classes in Calculus.
Another subject that is required is Chemistry. General Chemistry and Organic Chemistry are usually both required. Here are some examples of course topics that many engineering students must take to graduate. Engineering students can expect course work that is heavily math centric. Course topics like calculus, probability and stochastic processes are common to all engineering disciplines. Other math course topics that are usually taken by engineering students early in their undergraduate years are differential equations and numerical methods.
Differential equations describe the relationship between functions and their associated derivatives. Engineers use these equations to understand the characteristics of a physical function and how the function is affected by changes to outside stimuli. What do the Organ Trials involve? What do interviews involve?
How should I prepare? Department and facilities The Department is a leading international centre for research, consistently ranked the highest achieving amongst British universities. Exchange programmes A small number of students spend their third year studying abroad through our exchange schemes with Centrale-Supelec Paris and the National University of Singapore NUS.

Course Outline Teaching is provided through a mixture of lectures, practicals, projects and supervisions, and in Year 1 you can typically expect around 22 hours of teaching each week. Year 1 Part IA The broad foundation of the first two years Part I gives you an understanding of the basic principles of a wide range of subjects, together with an appreciation of the external pressures under which these ideas are likely to be applied.
In Year 1, you take four papers and sit a three-hour written exam in each: Mechanical Engineering Structures and Materials Electrical and Information Engineering Mathematical Methods You also undertake several coursework activities and projects, on topics including structural design, product design, presentation skills, drawing, laboratory experiments and computer programming. Year 2 Part IB You study eight papers on core subjects at a more advanced level: Mechanics Structures Materials Thermofluid Mechanics Electrical Engineering Information Engineering Mathematical Methods Business Economics In the third term, you select two topics from seven engineering disciplines plus a language option.
Year 3 Part IIA Professional specialisation begins in earnest and you study 10 papers from an extensive portfolio, from which a core is associated with one of the following disciplines: Aerospace and Aerothermal Engineering Bioengineering Civil, Structural and Environmental Engineering Electrical and Electronic Engineering Electrical and Information Sciences Energy, Sustainability and the Environment Information and Computer Engineering Instrumentation and Control Mechanical Engineering Alternatively, you can choose General Engineering, in which there are fewer restrictions on paper combinations.
Recent projects have included: super-tall timber high-rise design nanotubes and graphene for polymer optoelectronics a fitness predictor for racing cyclists use of thorium in a PRISM reactor whole-system design of tidal turbines remarkably shaped structures preliminary design of a solar electric vehicle strategy development for fuel restricted F1 races medical imaging and 3D computer graphics the aerodynamics of power kites. Also note: A Level Further Mathematics is very strongly encouraged.
Applicants are expected to achieve the highest possible grades in A Level Mathematics and the vocational qualification. T-Levels are not considered appropriate preparation for the Cambridge Engineering degree and are therefore not accepted for entry.
Applicants with a mix of qualifications should contact a College admissions office for advice. All Colleges welcome applications from students wishing to defer entry in order to pursue an Engineering related gap year. Some Colleges are particularly keen to support such applicants, please see the Department website for details.

Contextual information Discover Uni allows you to compare information about individual courses at different higher education institutions. You may find the following notes helpful when considering information presented by Discover Uni.
Discover Uni relies on superficially similar courses being coded in the same way. Whilst this works on one level, it may lead to some anomalies. For example, Music courses and Music Technology courses can have exactly the same code despite being very different programmes with quite distinct educational and career outcomes.
Any course which combines several disciplines as many courses at Cambridge do tends to be compared nationally with courses in just one of those disciplines, and in such cases the Discover Uni comparison may not be an accurate or fair reflection of the reality of either.
For example, you may find that when considering a degree which embraces a range of disciplines such as biology, physics, chemistry and geology for instance, Natural Sciences at Cambridge , the comparison provided is with courses at other institutions that primarily focus on just one or a smaller combination of those subjects. You may therefore find that not all elements of the Cambridge degree are represented in the Discover Uni data.
Some contextual data linked from other surveys, such as the National Student Survey NSS or the Destination of Leavers in Higher Education DLHE , may not be available or may be aggregated across several courses or several years due to small sample sizes. When using the data to inform your course choice, it is important to ensure you understand how it has been processed prior to its presentation.
Discover Uni is currently piloting use of the Longitudinal Education Outcomes LEO data to demonstrate possible career progression; it is important to note that this is experimental and its use may be modified as it embeds.
