RDC sessions play a crucial role in helping graduate students develop the skills they need to successfully complete their PhD and prepare them for their future careers. These sessions are a vital opportunity for students to learn about the research of others in related fields and thus gain an awareness of the activities in their own research group and the wider Department. They also play a critical role in improving the students’ ability to write and present their research in English which is essential to success at their first year assessment. All first year students in Div D are expected to participate in all sessions, unless they are attending an RDC run by another division in agreement with their supervisor. Attendance for each session will be logged and recorded as part of students’ individual training records |
| Mon 14 |
A session for Part IIB undergraduates in the Department of Engineering. As part of your 4th Year Project, you will be expected to do a literature review surrounding your projects topic. This session will explain what a literature review is and how to do one, looking at how to decide what you should be looking for, where to look for it, how to read it and how to take useful notes. This is a lot to cover in an hour so if you have any follow up question check our Information Skills page on the website and get in touch library@eng.cam.ac.uk. |

We are trying to recruit more CUED undergraduates to study electrical engineering in their 3rd and 4th years! So, we are planning an outreach activity to enthuse 2nd year undergraduates about electrical engineering. The outreach activity will take place in Lent term and complement the “options” talks given to the 2nd year undergraduates. |
