Group I: Imported Modules
Note that these modules are all imported from other courses, and hence might be timetabled at unusual times and in unusual places, and have a different course structure to other IIB modules. Also, many of them have a cap on numbers. However, they do provide a tremendous opportunity to learn about a wider range of technology than the Engineering Tripos would otherwise provide.
