Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars

These Mathematics for Engineering exemplars are intended to motivate mathematics teaching and learning, provide support for teachers using contextualised mathematics for the first time, and help students gain fluency in the use of mathematics for practical problem solving. This collection from The Royal Academy of Engineering also illustrates the applicability of the mathematics in the Additional and Specialist Learning (ASL) unit of the Advanced Diploma in Engineering, and exemplifies valuable activities undertaken by engineers. The mathematics units contribute to preparation for the ASL qualification for the Advanced Diploma.
