Every year, hundreds of engineering students showcase their final year projects as part of our annual Engineering Project Day.
With the aim to build links with industry, the public and schools and colleges, our final year students will provide demonstrations of their exciting research covering everything from braille devices to upgraded tattoo machines.
Invite your student to explore how engineering courses can bridge academic studies and professional life as they'll be inspired by the possibilities that technology can produce.
Explore projects from our School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering including:
- Electronic Engineering
- Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Product and Industrial Design
- Renewable Energy Engineering
Book your place now to give your students an insight into the exciting projects that they could one day be part of with a degree in engineering.
You can select to join us for morning sessions (9.15am - 1.15pm), afternoon sessions (12.15pm - 3.15pm) or the full day (9.15am - 3.15pm).

Explore our Project Engineering Day
Take a glimpse at what students have previously demonstrated at our past Project Engineering Days including:
- Developing food preparation processes
- Generating sustainable energy
- Improving body posture
This is projects day. It's a culmination of their entire degree. So they get to show all of the talents, all of the information that they've learnt over the last three or four years and package it in a project that's all their own. And they get to show this off to staff, fellow students and industrial partners.
It's a good way of then meeting people who might offer them a job. It's really important to have these industry leaders coming around and speaking to us about our projects because it's great hearing their ideas on how our projects can be applied even further and also for job prospects in the future. ºÚÁÏ³Ô¹Ï is critical to what we do at Pall, and it's important that we have access to the next generation of scientists.
I had someone from Dyson come in and he was wanting to implement my project into the Dyson hoover. Having people from industry, appreciate my project and wanting to implement it into the devices, was really exciting and it made me very proud. Taking on top talent is key to our future. We work in a highly technical industry and so partnering with a university like ºÚÁϳԹÏis so important to get interns who have got a good knowledge and really want to grow in industry. They've been really interested and really engaged.
It's really inspiring having these industry leaders come around today. There's a dialogue, there's an exchange, and hopefully it helps with the future. Gives us a certain perspective of where we want to be when we're older. And that's the point that we want to get to and by them coming round and showing interest in our work, it shows that, you know, we're sort of interested to get to that position. It's always wonderful to see what our students can do. I'm always proud.
