WELCOME We would like to extend a very warm welcome to all students for the 2014/15 academic year and in particular, to those joining the College for the first time. The University offers an enviable range of facilities and resources to enable you to pursue your chosen course of study whilst enjoying university life. In particular, the College of Engineering offers you an environment where you can develop and extend your knowledge, skills and abilities. The College has excellent facilities, offering extensive laboratory, workshop and IT equipment and support. The staff in the College, many of whom are world experts in their areas of interest, are involved in many exciting projects, often in collaboration with industry. The College has excellent links with industry, with many companies kindly contributing to the College’s activities through guest lectures and student projects. We have close links with professional engineering bodies and this ensures that our courses are in tune with current thinking and meet the requirements of graduate employers. All the staff are keen to provide a supportive environment for our students and we hope that you will take full advantage of your opportunities and time at Swansea. We hope that you will enjoy the next academic session and wish you every success. Professor Javier Bonet Professor Johann Sienz Head, College of Engineering Deputy Head, and Head of Learning and Teaching IMPORTANT – EG-107 & EG-125 Please be aware that at Year 1 there are two modules where a student is unable to redeem their failure by a standard resit examination. These modules are EG-107 and EG-125. Failure of either of these modules will mean that the student must repeat the module(s) or repeat the year. Failure to attend classes and activities related to these modules will mean that you fail the module; hence you repeat the module/year.
