On Saturday, June 21, the EIL students along with Profs. Berry and Dickerson boarded trains from London's St. Pancras and King's Cross railway stations for the 2-hour journey to Sheffield in South Yorkshire. A coach bus was used to get the students to their accommodations at Steelworks upon arrival at the Sheffield train station. Sheffield has a strong engineering heritage. Contemporary Sheffield is known all over the world as a leading centre for engineering research, advanced manufacturing, lightweight technology, specialist materials, and has the knowledge and skills base from prominent universities such as the University of Sheffield (U of S). The iconic £86 million Diamond at the U of S building is home to 15 state of the art engineering teaching labs, lecture theatres and workrooms. Teaching Labs for the complete range of Engineering disciples lie under one roof. This includes the UK’s first and only student led maker space, the iForge. The Diamond is staffed by a dedicated team of multidisciplinary engineering educators, who focus on practical skills. The EIL students will be working the Electronics and Control Lab on Monday, June 23, and in the Thermo, Heat Transfer and Dynamics Lab on Tuesday (June 24), and Thursday (June 26).
