Mechanical and Aeronautics Engineering Taster Session

Find out how City's 100 years of experience in delivering courses in engineering can help you embark on an exciting career in engineering and hear what successful positions our graduates hold around the world now.

Take a tour around our extensive laboratory facilities and get involved in fun activities - such as designing and testing a control system for an Automatic Guided Vehicle (AGV), building a model suspension bridge, or taking a ride in our Airbus flight simulator. Meet the City Racing Team and see the energy efficient Formula Student racing car they are building, or maybe take a look at a piece of the Apollo 15 Rocket given to us as a gift from the astronauts after landing on the moon!

These activities are dependent upon the specialist subject chosen.
