About Us

The Department of Engineering is the largest department in the University, accounting for some 10% of The University of Cambridge and encompasses a huge diversity of engineering disciplines. To accommodate this diversity the Department is divided into a number of specialist academic divisions and support services. 

The Design and Technical Service delivers a design and manufacturing service that is available to all teaching and research activities within the University. Our teams are equipped with a range of both manual and computer controlled machinery and make extensive use of Computer Aided Design, Electronics and manufacturing facilities, as well as traditional trades.
