OUIL603 Extended Practice - Engineer's Colouring Book, Part 3


Here's a picture of Adam, courtesy of Will. I had loads of first hand photographs but they seem to have disappeared somewhere!

After getting our initial designs in, Kerry organised a trip for us to go visit the engineering faculty and go on a tour around it. The trip was for us to get a little bit more first-hand experience about what Engineering as an industry was about, and to understand more about the different subsets of engineering that were taught at the University of Leeds.

There are five different schools of engineering at Leeds - School of Chemical and Process Engineering, School of Civil Engineering, School of Computing, School of Electric and Electrical Engineering, and the School of Mechanical Engineering. What was interesting was seeing the difference between each of the different areas, and how each one links together to create and build all the different infrastructure that we use day-to-day. 

It was also really cool getting to see all the different labs and machines that the students were building, and using to build stuff! I've always found scientific equipment interesting. Getting to see them first hand was really a useful visual reference for understanding how we needed to draw it in the colouring book too.

Having had the tour, we left to continue working on our first designs for the book.
