Your Level 2 timetable can be found using the iSheffield app or by logging into MUSE and selecting "myTimetable". Timetables will be available from 1 September but are subject to change until Week 1.
As we aim to provide students with a wide variety of modules it may be that this results in some timetable clashes. While every effort is made to avoid clashes, it is sometimes inevitable due to the wide range of modules available. Therefore if you discover a clash in your timetable you are expected to take appropriate measures to manage this, which may include swapping the clashing module. If you wish to change any module choices you should do this via the Module Add/Drop system.
Please note that we will monitor your engagement with your course.
You need to check locations of the lecture theatres in advance to make sure you are not late for your lectures and laboratories.
Top tip: If you are having issues with viewing your timetable, you should first try uninstalling and reinstalling the iSheffield app. If you are still having issues, contact the Student Support Team.

They should be informed of any problems or difficulties you may be having, including health, disability, domestic, and personal problems which may affect your performance on the course or in your exams. Your Personal Tutor will also be able to provide references for you upon graduation.
Regular meetings with your Personal Tutor will be timetabled to take place during semester. Each tutorial group consists of a small group of 4-5 students.

Working in interdisciplinary teams with students from across the Faculty of Engineering, you’ll take part in this week-long industry-led project in your second year. Graduates frequently report back that the project was one of the things that helped them achieve success in application forms and interviews, as it gave them something tangible to draw upon and set them apart from their competitors. From initial concept through to presenting your project plan, it’s designed to give you experience of working in the way industry does. You’ll be guided by mentors from industry throughout.
Past projects have included designing:
A sustainable swarm robot system that is able to perform the monitoring for a precision agriculture system.
