33. Medical Engineering Spinal inplant machined by omc precision

34. Medical Engineers Design equipment eg., for a heart transplant • Heart Scanner

35. What do our graduates say? • “This course really appealed to me, it’s quite different - very interesting with lots of variety. • I spent my year’s industrial placement in Germany working for a medical engineering company in their research and development section - looking at prosthetics. I hope to do similar sort of work once I’ve graduated and after my experience in Germany I would definitely consider working abroad.” • Gemma John, Graduated 2002 (Medical Engineering)

36. E-Commerce Technologies Aimed at the future…

37. Mechanical Engineering Wind tower rotors Vermont, Canada

38. Mechanical & Automotive Engineering Here’s one we made earlier… Quantum H4 Convertible Sports car built by our Mechanical & Automotive Engineering Students (finished summer 2002)

39. What do our graduates say? • “I mainly chose to study at Bradford because of its excellent links with industry. As part of my course, I spent a year’s placement working for Ford at Dagenham. It was a great experience and the wages I received have really helped as well. The practical side is a big help for future employment and the experience of a year’s placement will be a big advantage when I start applying for jobs.” • Sharaz Sultan - Graduated 2002 BEng (Hons) (Mechanical & Automotive Engineering)

40. Civil Engineering

41. What do our graduates say? • “One of the things Bradford has over other Universities is that it has a very practical basis. It was not all theoretical. It helps to have the experience rather than just sitting down and learning it parrot fashion. Bradford has a very good reputation for this and so the students are viewed favourably.” • Daniel Sawyer, Doyle Partnership, graduated 1996 (Civil Engineering)

42. "This is a very exciting time for young engineers…” Kate Hall (nee Thomson): Civil & Structural Engineering graduate University of Bradford 1995 Position: Senior Engineer, Ove Arup & Partners, London Office. What do our graduates have to say…? Kate is currently leading team of 300 designing Olympic Park Site for the 2012 Olympics

43. Kate Hall - Civil Engineering Graduate says... “There is a skills shortage, the world is your oyster with the choice of jobs and projects to work on. I recently had the opportunity to work in Hong Kong for four years. I have been involved in some major construction projects e.g. the design and construction of Hong Kong Station part of the new Hong Kong airport project.”

46. Electronics & Telecommunications

47. What do our graduates say? • “The University has a broad range of modules which means I could have applied to companies in the telecommunications industry. In addition, the placements are well related to the course. The lecturers are very experienced in their subject I was impressed with the way they stimulated the students in the lectures, which is often the most important thing when taking a degree.” • Imran Aszal, Philips Stockport, graduated 2000 (Electronics & Telecommunications)

48. Technology Management

49. What do our students say? • “Because of the breadth of the subjects covered, it meant that I had a choice of career path to take. For example, I have gone into a purely business environment looking at business strategy and business development, whilst people who have graduated with me have gone into marketing, engineering and production management.” • Justin Banbury, graduated 1998 now working in Aerospace Industry, (Technology Management)

50. Engineers & Technologists Learn to • Think in 3-D • Design and make products using the latest technology • Appreciate style • Motivate others and work in teams • Understand value for money • Speak and write clearly
