The Faculty Board of Engineering request notice of any course that intends to borrow a paper from the Engineering Tripos or the Manufacturing Engineering Tripos. This notice should be given by the end of the full Easter Term in the academical year before the course is run.
Notice should be sent to the Secretary of the Faculty Board of Engineering (email fnm22@cam.ac.uk), who will forward the request to the relevant Subject Group within the Department of Engineering. To satisfy timetabling, resourcing, or other constraints, the Subject Groups or the Faculty Board may impose a cap on the numbers of students from any particular course who may take a particular paper.
The Faculty Board of Engineering give notice that the modules prescribed for the examinations to be held in 2015, and the mode of examination for each module, will be as follows:

To obtain honours in Part IIb of the Engineering Tripos, students must take modules that qualify for an Engineering Area. The requirements for each of the Engineering Areas, as sanctioned by the Faculty Board of Engineering, are available at http://teaching.eng.cam.ac.uk/content/engineering-tripos-part-iib-2014-15-notice-concerning-engineering-areas.
Candidates, when choosing modules for examination, may not offer more than one module from any one of the numbered sets. In addition, students may take not more than three from the following: any of the 4E papers; 4I1 and 4I7; 4M1–4, and (when available) 4D16.
No candidate who offered any module for Part IIa may again offer the same module for Part IIb.
There will be no Group R (research) modules available to Part IIb students in 2014–15.
