You step off the train into a city that moves with polite urgency: double-decker buses hiss past, the River Thames dares you to follow its curve, and red-brick college buildings rub shoulders with glass towers. Over eight days this program stitches classroom engineering challenges to real-world London — lectures in the morning, landmark walks and museum visits in the afternoon.
