    Not familiar with last years timetable.. heading into fourth year now.. standard 29 hour week.. subjects would have been mainly maths, engineering science (physics and chemistry) manufacturing, Instrumentation and CAD..

    Just wondering do they teach FEA and/or CFD on this course?

    Also what is/are the CAD packages used?

    The workload is very demanding.. Good organisation nd motivation is half d battle.. D ability to think logically is critical.. Operations engineering is a similiar course.. Less difficult, more management and less maths.. Good job oppurtunities thou.. mech eng is a big step up from a plc.. Im finished now..about to graduate.. Got on ok but wish I put more time into it

    Thanks Joe. Strange question but are there teaching assistants at labs/practicals for FEA or CAD?
