The Aeronautical Engineering Section was the first to be established in the UK, in 1908, and was also the first to offer an Avionics undergraduate degree course, in 1976.
Mechanical Engineering is also long-established; its research reputation has been founded on work on thermodynamic principles, such as the energy concept, on combustion and on condensation heat transfer.
Medical Engineering is a relatively new undergraduate discipline although we have been at the leading edge of several aspects of medical engineering research; the research focuses on tissue and cell engineering, orthopaedic implants, biofluids and microcirculation and rehabilitation engineering.

Mathematical models and computer generated proofs of the accuracy of engineering's design and projects are only as valid as the premise on which they are based.
Aero engineers also state that the pressure of the supersonic flow of exhaust gases from a jet engine at maximum power approaches absolute zero, when they are really measuring the siphon pressure created in their pressure tap by the supersonic and extremely high dense flow.
The high pressure (overpressure) in the end of the air hose does not change to extremely low pressure after exiting the pressure hose, but is always a positive pressure gradually reducing to ambient atmospheric pressure as it moves farther and farther from the release end of the air hose.
