Online tool to help students prepare for university engineering entrance interviews

i-want-to-study-engineering.org provides a collection of problems, many of which have been used in Cambridge engineering entrance interbviews in the past. The site offers a comprehensive set of hint videos to support students as they work out their solutions. The problems are designed to help students learn to solve multi-stage technical problems, not just as a tool for interview preparation. The site is funded by a generous dontation from The Underwood Trust and is edited by Prof Prager.

Teaching

I deliver part of the first year engineering maths course covering convolution, Fourier series, and probability. I also lecture MEng students on medical image acquisition. In the past, I have lectured the first year digital circuits course, including topics such as combinational and sequential logic.
