INSIGHT 2010

Welcome to the University of Salford and INSIGHT 2010. We hope that you have an enjoyable stay with us and that you will learn something about being an engineer and a scientist as well as University life in general.

The members of the organising committee are all lecturers in the University and represent different Engineering and Science Disciplines. They will be available throughout the week to answer questions and deal with any queries that you may have. All lectures will be held in lecture room N233 of the Newton Building unless otherwise stated.

Messages will be posted on the notice board in the Second Floor Concourse of the Newton Building. Please check regularly to see if there are any messages for you.

The course is informal and casual dress will be suitable but you may like to bring a smart outfit for the course dinner. Smart trousers and sensible footwear (no sandals) for the industrial visit would be advisable. If you asked for Civil Engineering project, you may have the chance to visit a construction site and will be required to wear safety boots which are usually in larger sizes. Hence, you are required to bring 2 pairs of socks to wear under the boots and full length trousers that may become dusty whilst on the site visit. If it is predicted to rain, bring a rain coat with you.

You will be staying in the Constantine Court University accommodation which is on campus. In each house there are 13 bedrooms, each with in suite and one shared kitchen. You will be staying in your own bedroom, no sharing. There is no need to bring your own bedding. A towel is provided in each room but bringing your own towels is advisable. All catering; breakfast, lunch and dinner for the period of your stay will be provided and paid for by the University.

It would be handy to bring your mobile phone or a phone card with you since most of the telephone boxes in Constantine Court use them. Alternatively you can purchase a phone card from the University shop during the course.

A swimming pool is available at the University’s Sports Centre if you would like to bring a swimming costume with you. Student’s rate is £3.50 / session.

A website for Insight at Salford is being updated (http://www.cse.salford.ac.uk/insight/) where you should be able to view this year’s programme, images from previous courses and other information.
