Assessment and Enhancement Week

A whole range of exciting Assessment and Enhancement activities and challenges took place across the School during the week commencing 9^th to 13^th November.  In the Mechanical Engineering and Design subject area, the programme of events included a Design Day School where second year students undertook a pasta building ‘Design, Make, Smash and Grab’ challenge, a competition to see which team of first year students could come up with, and then present their argument for the Best Engineering or Design Idol.  There were also presentations throughout the week by final year project students.  Arguably though, the highlight of the week for many were the industrial visits that students undertook to 16 different companies including, Komatsu, Engineering Business, Bay Plastics, Glaxo Smith Kline, EWM High Tech Welding, Express Engineering, Shasun Pharma Solutions and Air Filters.
