    Lack of resources and hands on experiences

      Myself and alot of students, from engineering to medicine, feel as though are experience at UCLAN is not upto scratch. Us as students feel we need more resources to help with having much more hands on and the increase in indepth sessions could help with are understanding with what we are learning. An example of this, in the Motorsport Engineering Degree, last year the practical of engine assembly and dissembly helped many students with understanding the workings of an engine. some students within the course have asked for practicals, such as, Scrap Yard rebuilds and having the ability to build a vehicle from the ground up. I have also heard in medicine the Anatomy section has not been taught at a level to help with preventing misunderstandings. Alot of students felt that a practical would help them gain a better understanding of how anatomy works. The goal i want to make happen, to help courses increase funding to allow different degrees to impliment much more indepth practicals and to allow for muchmore hands on and appealing learning. I want to be a voice for the students and help bring issues, such as this one, to light and find solutiuons which will help everyone.
