The department of engineering is Cambridge University's largest department, educating about 10 percent of the university or 1800 students. The department is divided into six concentrations which include energy and fluid dynamics, civil and environmental, mechanical, electrical, information technology and manufacturing. The school stresses the importance of sustainable development and life sciences upon which research and seminars are based. Undergraduate students learn engineering fundamentals during their first two years of school. They have to choose a specialty for the remainder of their semesters. Students are capable of conducting research in multidisciplinary teams because of the breadth of knowledge. Doctoral postgraduate programs may be earned through studentships, in which candidates assist professors.
