Notices by Faculty Boards, etc.

Notice for the attention of courses intending to borrow papers from Parts IIa and IIb of the Engineering and Manufacturing Engineering Triposes

The Faculty Board of Engineering requests that it be given 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 academic year before the course is run.

Notice should be sent to the Secretary of the Faculty Board of Engineering (email mjm61@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.

Engineering Tripos, Parts IIa and IIb, 2013–14: Notice

Part IIb: Restrictions on the combinations of modules candidates may choose to offer

Candidates, when choosing modules for examination, may not offer two or more modules from any one of the following 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 2013–14.
