About the Taster Lecture

Join this taster lecture to explore whether mechanical engineering is the right course for you. Throughout the session you will explore questions such as will you be able to recognise the sound of a blocked sewer? How do you maintain this ancient labyrinth? How do robots detect things in the dark?

• 4pm: Sewer talk. Vote on which sounds correspond to a blocked sewer

• 4.25pm: Interactive exercise, 'Draw the lines of pressure'

• 4.35pm: Want to be an engineer?

• 4.40pm: Q&A session with current undergraduate students

Who is this taster lecture suitable for?
