    One month in the life of Harper Engineers!

    5 November 2025

    Engineering undergraduate courses manager, James Croxford, summarises October's activities. 

    So... October happened! ??

    - Welcomed new students.

    - Started building autonomous drones with first years.

    - Our second years are figuring out how to land those autonomous drones on a moving autonomous platform.

    - Fourth years are already bringing value to a whole host of companies through real industry problems (huge thanks to JLR, CLAAS, Epwin Window Systems, Grainger & Worrall, JCB, MagrowTec, UPP Freya, Galebreaker, TAFE TRACTORS and Landpower for the opportunities)

    - We've kicked off our 'industry engagement' sessions with guest speakers including Charles Nicklin from The Institution of Agricultural Engineers and Mandy Thompson from ABP UK (more to follow!)

    - 2 days exhibiting at New Scientist Live

    - An open day for prospective future students (with our next on Saturday November 8)

    - And lots of other stuff I've probably forgotten!

    Here's to November - there's lots of new developments in the pipeline!
