Sheffield mechanical engineering projects

Hi I just wanted to ask abt the projects you have to do in the mech eng course. How hard are they and do you get support for them? Like I'm not neccesarily bad with projects it's just that I'm bad at writing a lot about them and I make a lot of mistakes

Do you mean research projects?
- typically you will have one major one called a dissertation in the final year, the options will change every year, probably very influenced by the research the university is working on at that time
You will have smaller assignments & group projects every year as smaller contributions as part of your modules, typically the largest one is a group design challenge

I mean the smaller group projects

is sheffield good for engineering? where would i end up w a mechatronics degree? should i reapply to imperial on a gap year?

Sheffield has excellent prospects for engineering, its a top university.
Imperial would probably offer better prospects internationally and with non engineering careers (such as management consultancy & banking) however for UK engineering employers Sheffield is going to be considered by all reputable employers.

thought sheffield was only good for mech eng, seems to be ranked lower for electrical eng... i come from a school of imperial and ucl successful applicants so really dont know how to feel about mechatronics at sheff

The engineering department in general is very well regarded, Sheffield is probably most renowned for its research in the aerospace industry with very strong partnerships with Rolls-Royce civil aerospace & they developed one of the first widely adopted CFD codes now known as Ansys fluent (probably the most widely used CFD solver worldwide today) and as such they remain very strongly embedded in high performance computational methods for engineering & aerospace sectors, of course the aerospace industry from an r&d engineering perspective is a mixture of mechanical, materials & electrical science (with some chemistry in things like sustainable fuel).
I would say Sheffield certainly in engineering has a stronger reputation then UCL, and frankly the tone I got from the way you talk about Sheffield and UCL/Imperial reads quite naively to me.

lol. just trying to learn more about sheffield engineering - please elaborate on how its better than ucl
