Electronic smartcards for access (excluding public holidays) between 0800 and 2200 (Monday-Friday) and 1000-1800 (Saturday and Sunday) are issued at the Department Office, HD2.03 (weekdays 10.00-12noon) only to registeredNA-ME students. Apassport photographwill be required and apayment of 5.Lost cards incur an additional charge of 10.All students working after 1800 MUST telephone the Security Office (ext. 2222 or 3333) located in Livingstone Tower.This is an important safety and security issue, and students who do not follow this procedure will be subject to disciplinary action. Details of general access across the University, including the issue of blue and red cards, may be found in the Faculty information in Appendix 2. 8.2Safety Safetyisavitalaspectofallengineeringtrainingandeducation,particularlywhenattendingpractical classesinworkshopsandlaboratories.Itisthereforeveryimportanttofamiliariseyourselfwiththe UniversitySafetyPolicyandtoco-operateinapplyingspecificsafetyregulationsrelevanttothevarious specialisedactivitiesinyourcourse.Assafetyanditsassuranceareasharedresponsibilitybetweenstaff, studentsandmanagement,everyonemustbeabletorespondinunlikelyeventssuchasaccidents,fireand electricshock.TothisendyouwillberequiredtoobservetheDepartmentsRegulationsandwillbe expectedtosignastatementconfirmingthatyouhavereadandunderstoodthem.Obviouslyyoushould also familiarise yourself with the locations of emergency exits and evacuation procedures.

Thesuccessoftheschemedependsontheparticipationofbothstaffandstudents.Thosewhofindthey cannot speak freely to the member of staff assigned to them are invited to approach, in the first instance, Dr Sayer, or the Head of the Department. 8.4Scholarships 17 A limited number of competitive scholarships and awards are available from the Royal Institution of Naval Architectsandsimilarprofessionalbodies,suchastheSocietyforUnderwaterTechnology(SUT)andthe InstituteofMarineEngineeringScienceandTechnology(IMarEST),aswellasfromLloydsRegisterand the Worshipful Company of Shipwrights.Application forms and general information are available from Mr D L Smith. The best overall academic performance at the end of the first year of attendance by students of both the first and second years is rewarded by a prestigious Royal Institution of Naval Architects (RINA) award valued at 1000*.TheInstituteofMarineEngineering,ScienceandTechnology(IMarEST)mayalsoofferoneor more 1000* Scholarships on the recommendation of the Department.

The KirkMemorial prize (600*) is usually awardedto the next best MEng graduate but may be split if there are two candidates of equal merit. Any other high achieving MEng graduate(s) may receive one of the four Reid Birrell (225*) prizes (which may also be split). ThebestBEnggraduateswillgenerallyreceivethetwoHedderwickMemorialPrizes(180*),oneof which can be split if there are candidates of equal merit) and the Basu Memorial Prize (200*).In general, the Department will try to award these three prizes over the different graduate streams if the students are of equivalent merit. The remaining Reid Birrell prizes are distributed amongst the best continuing students of the third and fourth years who show particular merit in their Naval Architecture subjects. Additional non-endowed prizes (available to graduating and continuing students) are also available to mark excellent performance in specific 4th year subjects: RINA-BAE Systems Prize for best individual project and presentation (250*) McCaig Watson Prize for Small Craft (75*) Sub Sea Engineering Prize for Sub Sea Engineering (75*) Ross Belch Prize for best Experimental Hydrodynamics Project (250*) 18 Ian Broadley Prize for innovation and financial awareness in a Project (50*) The judgement of merit is generally based on BEng and MEng honours block marks, either aggregated over the 3rd, 4th and 5th years or based on performance in individual years. The best continuing students of the third and fourth years are usually awarded a Reid Birrell Prize, currently valued at 225*. *Notethatamountsshownareforguidanceandmayvarydependentonthevalueofunderlyingfundsor endowment constraints.

During the period of the exchange itself the host university gives language tuition. When and where can we go?

What benefits are there in it for me? While the exchanges usually mean hard work when you are there, they can also be fun.Students studying in Europehavetakenadvantageoftheopportunity to travel,tospend timewithstudentsfromtheirEuropean university and sometimes to obtain relevant vacation employment in Europe.More than ever, there is a truly international dimension to engineering and so the experience of living and working on another country often puts those students at an advantage when seeking subsequent employment.
