Hands-on engineering

Every year our Aerospace, Biomedical, Electronic and Electrical, Mechanical and Sport Engineering students take part in our Grand Challenge. This end-of-year project is a great opportunity – a company sets a group industry challenge for you and your team to work on. You'll spend the next three weeks working exclusively on your proposal and concept before presenting your results at an end-of-year show.
