These courses are led jointly by academics in the School of Engineering and WMG (Warwick Manufacturing Group). Interdisciplinary projects enable you to tackle challenges that could range from engineering a robot to rescue victims in a collapsed building, to designing and building a nano-satellite. You will develop sought-after skills including a multidisciplinary approach to problem solving, the ability to manage projects and communicate ideas, and the capacity to lead, research, design, innovate and develop products and systems.
In your first two years you will study material from across areas of Engineering, such as maths, thermodynamics, mechanics, structures, electronics and business management, with opportunities to experience laboratory and design work in all our disciplines. You can also choose options* from within or outside Engineering, such as vehicle technology, biomedical engineering and foreign languages. In order to give you multidisciplinary knowledge, in your third (and fourth) year(s) you will study a range of in-depth modules and undertake individual and group project work. Projects have included producing a design and prototype of a surgical tool for middle ear surgery and creating a knowledge capture system for the IMechE Formula Student racing car project.

How will I learn?
You will participate in lectures, seminars, tutorials and practical laboratory sessions. To help you make the transition from school to university, in your first year you will meet your personal tutor each week in a group usually of five or six students to address academic issues arising from lectures. Your tutor is there to support you throughout your university life and will especially help you to reflect upon your continuing development. Engineers are always involved in interdisciplinary group work and this forms part of our courses from year one.
How will I be assessed?
Assessment is through examinations and coursework. Coursework assessment can include laboratory reports, projects, essays and oral presentations.
