Engineering
These activities focus on careers and real world examples of engineering problems. Discuss engineering as a career, gender issues and the routes into engineering. Investigate Formula One race strategy, the mathematics of aircraft navigation, and understand the motion of wheels and wind turbines.

STEM Club Support: the Engineering Message
This resource, from the Royal Academy of Engineering, aims at raising students' awareness of what engineers do and how the profession contributes to the world.
The key activity for students is to define and discuss engineering as a career. There are also two case studies to use.
Information sheet
Where STEM Can Take You
Produced by Rolls-Royce, this series of case studies illustrates the wide range of career opportunities that are opened up for students with skills in science, technology, engineering or mathematics. They can be used to give careers advice and guidance to students as well as to illustrate the curriculum principles they cover.
The case studies look at:
• Trainee engineer programmes
• Apprenticeships
• Management training programmes
• Technical roles

Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars
Calculate the power of a JCB engine, look at the forces on a large steam turbine, investigate the mathematics of aircraft navigation and more.
Real world exemplars 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 of resources is from the Royal Academy of Engineering.
