Engineering taster presentations

As part of their Technical Presentation skills module, our second-year undergraduate students in the Department of Mechanical Engineering are giving technical presentations to explain a technical topic they’re interested in – we’d like to invite year 12 and 13 groups for a unique opportunity to be their audience to experience what it’s like being a student studying engineering here at Imperial.

In the 90-minute session, students will hear 5 to 6 short talks on a wide range of technical topics with the chance to ask questions. There are 12 sessions to choose from running for six weeks during October to December on Tuesday afternoons and Thursday mornings.

•   Tuesdays 16.00-17.30 from 28 October to 2 December 2025

•   Thursdays 10.00-11.30 from 30 October to 4 December 2025

Here are a just few examples of the type of topics that have been covered in previous years:

Can a closed room be cooled using a refrigerator?
Where to build your space hotel
The science behind hitting a six
Why do we use water to fight fires?
