Engineering Teaching Organisation

The Engineering Teaching Organisation (ETO) is the part of the School of Engineering whose function is to develop, promote and support undergraduate and postgraduate teaching.  The ETO leads in setting teaching strategy for the School of Engineering.  On operational matters, the ETO oversees the course administration of all the taught courses delivered by the School.  Operational activities of the ETO include room-booking, record-keeping, issuing of course materials to students, receiving and returning of assessed coursework, organisation of exams, and the gathering of quality assurance and feedback data.

The ETO is located on the ground floor of the Faraday Building at King’s Buildings.  Normal opening hours are 10.00am to 5.00pm, Monday to Friday, with lunchtime closure between 1.15pm and 1.45pm.  You should make the ETO your first point of call for enquiries relating to course administration; academic matters should be raised with the Course Organiser and personal difficulties with your Director of Studies.  In reality, there is a good deal of overlap and any of these individuals will point you in the right direction if asked.  Please remember to check your school email account regularly for important announcements.
