English translation:Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering?
Explanation:
Doesn't look very likely, but there is a complete list of all the departments of University College London at the reference below, and it doesn't include any English or British School of Engineers (it wouldn't be Mechanics in English - a mechanic is just the guy in greasy overalls with a spanner and an oily rag - I know, I was one once).
The only other department concerned with engineering is the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering.

Of course, Prof. Kroll may have developed this method many years ago when the organization of University College was different from what it is now.

England's first engineering teaching laboratory


Explanation:
Вот можете почитать про нее на этой странице:

1878 One of Alexander Kennedy's teaching innovations was to persuade UCL to fund England's first engineering teaching laboratory. It was set up with a College grant of £550.

Сейчас это называется Department of Mechanical Engineering, UCL
В 1997 году они отпраздновали 150-летний юбилей.
Вообще-то они себя называют просто Mechanical Engineering
А это название - историческое, по-моему.

Начали они все в 1847 г.
В-общем, там все есть - почитайте

English mechanical school


Explanation:
Здесь речь не о конкретном учебном/научном заведении (конкретное в данном случае - University College). А "английская школа механиков" употреблено в смысле научного стиля/направления, а в заблуждение вводит ошибочно проставленная заглавная буква в слове "английская". Точно так же мы говорим "ученый старой школы", например.
А проф. Кролл - вот он:
