MSc Engineering at Sheffield Hallam University Vs Other UK Universities

This is an email from bishnujee, it answers a frequent queery that i
get. So here you go.

Dear AeSI Engineers & Students,
I believe since many of you from AeSI must be slightly confused with
choice of UK Universities based on there reputation and past
record.There are some excellent Universities like Cranfield
University,Queen's Mary University ,University of Western
England,Bristol,Salford University,University of Sheffield.During last
few years based on Graduate hiring trend,I have noted that newer
University like Sheffield Hallam University which was few of British
Government owned University came into existence in 90s has been doing
pretty good on job after Course completion than some of the highly
rated University.There are some reasons behind it because when course
work was started as Approved Further Learning Programme (CEng) for BE
from AeSI & other Indian Universities ,it has full practical nature
and extensive Industry based coursework content instead of traditional
book work type of assignments & course work followed by traditional
Universities.Students in such
programme are quite mature at design,stress when they Graduate out
due to coursework nature.Each Student work individually as well as
part of team and develop on there own product & project,extensive
presentation skills and very high design and stress lab programme
groom them for career in Stress Engineer & Design Engineer.That is the
reason why MSc Engineers from SHU have captured jobs much ahead than
traditional reputed UK Universities who has still been sticking to
traditional coursework and studies.Please be advised that Cranfield
University newest MSc as Further learning programme might be falling
into same bracket .
Already SHU has 3 AeSI Engineers on its campus who have graduated out
with there MSc programme.
I hope it helps in guiding prospective AeSI Engineers.

Best wishes
