  1. Welcome to City!

  2. Who studies at City? • Around 13,000 students from all over the world • 1500 on Engineering and Technology related subjects • Around 300 on Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE) subjects • Gender of students: 22% Female and 78% Male • Status of students: 60% UK, 11% EU and 28% Overseas • All ages – majority of undergraduates aged 18 - 30 • All cultural backgrounds and walks of life

  3. What is an Engineer? • someone who fixes your car, your house electrics or boiler? • someone who ‘does engineering’ ? • an ‘applied scientist’? The Engineering Council says: “engineering is the practice of creating and sustaining services, systems, devices, machines, structures, processes and products to improve the quality of life; getting things done more effectively and efficiently”

  4. What is an Engineer? • Almost everything around you is there because of an engineer • If an engineer didn’t design it, then an engineer made it fit-for-purpose! • Engineers make things work • We are more interested in ‘how it works’ than ‘why is it so’ • We exploit scientific knowledge to achieve goals • We make decisions based on incomplete information

  5. Market analysis Measurement and analysis of system behaviour Some examples of the roles of an Engineer Design Development and application of mathematical models Interpretation of limited, incorrect or contradictory information Changing the world! Management Technology Development Reverse Engineering and product improvement Trials Teaching Risk Assessment Research
