Description

In this interactive taster session, we'll explore the exciting world of General Engineering. 

You'll learn the fundamentals of what general engineering is, and the General Engineering courses offered at the СŷÊÓƵ of Sheffield. 

We'll use electric cars as a practical example to show how different engineering disciplines work together. 

You'll have the chance to chat with students and staff to get all your questions answered.

It's a great way to enhance your knowledge on subjects that you might not have covered in A Level and you might get a head start in some university content.
