The Integrated Engineering Programme weaves project-based design through the majority of UCL Engineering's undergraduate degree programmes along with integrated ‘employability’ skills, interdisciplinary ‘minors', and an applied mathematics programme focusing on modelling and analysis of engineering systems.
Using authentic activities informed by the needs and challenges of the world around us, the IEP aims to enhance the students’ understanding of key theoretical concepts and heighten the development of key professional skills.
Recognised as offering a "world-class model" for engineering education to other institutions, the IEP fosters confidence and familiarity with multidisciplinary working and practical enineering from students' first year at UCL, through a cross-Faculty approach. It builds students' creative and critical thinking skills, practical and design skills, autonomy, and their ability to reckon with the ethical, economic, environmental and legal factors that will shape their professional practice.

What is the Integrated Engineering Programme (IEP)?
Learn what we set out to accomplish with the Integrated Engineering Programme, how we achieve this, which programmes follow the IEP, and more.

Scenario weeks
Scenario weeks are challenging, intensive project based learning experiences connected directly with the rest of the IEP curriculum. They take place during Year 1 and Year 2.

How to Change the World
How to Change the World is a two-week interdisciplinary scenario that runs after the end of the exam period at the end of Year 2.

IEP modules
In addition to How to Change the World and Scenario Weeks, the Integrated Engineering Programme involves undertaking specific modules.
Looking back on 10 years of the IEP
UCL Engineering enjoyed a celebration of the groundbreaking work UCL staff undertook to create and deliver the Integrated Engineering Programme.
