Default Re: Pure Engineering Porn! Can't wait.

I have my practical old dad hat on.

Despite being a mechanical engineer who would have loved to have had an industry specific degree available to me 30 years ago when I did my degree. I worked as a research engineer for Leyland trucks, a partner in an automotive engineering consultancy

This course looks to be fantastic. Using traditional engineering, significant CAE and targeted against a specific industry. I would have to question where do their successful students end up. How many are somewhere in the motorcycle or racing industries etc. How relevant is the engineering to other industries. I now work in IT for a global power engineering company and know quite well that my automotive background would get me nowhere with gas/steam turbine engineers, pipe stress engineers, CFD gurus etc. Yes I understand their world/tools. But not to the level to be able to apply my knowledge. So in short in dad mode. "Will this get you a job?"
