Many congratulations to the ten undergraduates in their second year, who have been awarded the prestigious Engineering Leadership Awards from the Royal Academy of Engineering.
A CD-ROM duplicator with the capability of producing CDs with printed labels at the rate of approximately 500 per week has recently been purchased by the Department.
From the beginning of the Easter term, engineering students in their second year at CUED will be able to choose a new course: 'Biological and medical engineering' as an elective.
The development of new curricula, programmes of study, and extra-curricular educational opportunities is supported within the University by funding from CMI (the Cambridge-MIT Institute).
Undergraduates in the Department have been offered the chance to attend a lecture course at MIT this term - but their trip across the Atlantic will be a virtual one.
This year's award ceremony for the undergraduate winners of externally funded prizes was held on Wednesday 29th January, 2003, in the Board Room at CUED.
