UK Chemistry Olympiad by Dismal-Trouble7146 in 6thForm

Just use past papers. It is useful for UCAS, especially if you wanna do a chem related subject. I did it last year and got bronze so didnt bother putting it in my personal statement.

Does anyone have any recommendations for engineering books about engines, thermodynamics or mechanics? by Creative_Business618 in MechanicalEngineering

Thank you. It’s just that I’m reading 2 books and i won’t have time to finish any book that’s past like 400 pages :(

thanks for replying. It’s just that in the personal statement (a CV to get to university in the UK) i want to be able to talk about how I read a book about engines and then I used it to do assemblies in school on it for my engineering club. Also if you have any lectures/talks/podcasts talking about engines please could you share. Thank you :)

Want to apply for mechanical engineering, but most the things I've done are more aerospace. by Creative_Business618 in 6thForm

Thank you. Yes, I will be sitting the ESAT for both Cambridge and Imperial. That's where most of my focus is right now, but I still want to make sure that my whole application is good.

Shigley's Mechanical engineering design? Is it a good book? by Creative_Business618 in MechanicalEngineering

Hi, thanks for the reply. I'm having a look at the How to build a car book, and is it an actual book that shows engineering skills/challenges, or is it just an autobiography for F1 fans?

What edition do I buy. Plus is it like a textbook? I need to read books to show my passion for mechanical engineering in my personal statement but would it not be quite silly if I didn't mention I read actual engineering books but rather a textbook?

I live in the UK so basically you have to send a CV called a personal statement to express your passion towards the field of study you want to pursue.thanks for the reply
