Manufacturing Engineering Tripos
The regulations for the Manufacturing Engineering Tripos (Statutes and Ordinances, p. 321) have been amended, as set out below. In addition to the change in the list of papers set, it is also proposed (see Grace 3, p. 625) that the written examination for Part I should be taken early in the Easter Term, so as to leave the greater part of that term free for candidates to concentrate on course work. The regulations have been amended, with effect from 1 October 1998, as follows:
Regulation 11.
By replacing Papers P4 and M1 by the following papers:
Paper G5.Engineering materials and processing (Paper G5 of Part IIA of the Engineering Tripos and Part I of the Electrical and Information Sciences Tripos).
Paper P5.Human resources.
