工程基础年课程是专门为您提供工程学位所需的必要知识而设计的。尽管预科课程为期一年，但它必须被视为进入我们其中一门学位课程的入学途径。它不是一个独立的年份，而是通往BEng或MEng学位的学习计划的初始部分。成功完成预科课程后，只要您的平均成绩至少达到50％，就可以升读所选学位课程的第一年。本课程旨在通过讲座，教程和案例研究向您介绍广泛的工程学科。这些包括与工程相关的数学，物理和信息技术方面。该课程的实践性质与此类科目在学校的呈现方式形成对比。评估是通过项目工作，持续评估和学期末考试进行的。成功通过预科课程
The Engineering Foundation Year course is specially designed to give you the necessary knowledge you will need for an engineering degree. Although the Foundation scheme lasts for one year, it must be considered as an entry route to one of our degree courses. It is not a stand-alone year, but the initial part of a programme of study leading towards a BEng or MEng degree. Once you successfully complete the Foundation Year you will progress to the first year of your chosen degree course, as long as you achieve an average of at least 50%. The course is designed to expose you to the broad spectrum of engineering disciplines through lectures, tutorials and case studies. These include aspects of mathematics, physics and information technology that are relevant to engineering. The practical nature of the course contrasts with the way such subjects may have been presented at school. Assessment is by project work, continuous assessment and end-of-semester examinations. When you have successfully passed the Foundation Year you can choose which Engineering specialism you are most interested in and you will join the first year of that course. There is a great deal of choice available to you at the Cardiff School of Engineering as it is one of only a few schools to offer full-time MEng and BEng degree courses in various branches of engineering, such as architectural, civil, electrical, mechanical, medical and integrated engineering. Many of these offer a sandwich year option working in industry or studying abroad. <br> <br>Career prospects - Our integrated engineering graduates hold key positions in leading firms where engineering skills are required, such as Halcrow, Atkins, BP, BAE Systems, RWE npower, Mott McDonald, Network Rail, Rolls Royce, Ford, Tata Steel, Nokia, Bosch and beyond. Our graduates have also moved on to work within local government, UK and international utility companies and organisations such as Climate Energy and GlaxoSmithKline. In 2015/16, 95% of the School's graduates who were available for work reported they were in employment and/or further study within six months of graduation.
