Tube Lines, Improve and Upgrade
This London Engineering Project case study of an integrated science and engineering, from the Royal Academy of Engineeringy, was designed around an industry context and delivered as part of National Science and Engineering Week in 2009.
...Underground Storage Tank
This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics when building an underground storage tank, with an elliptical cross section. Health and safety requirements apply and the depth to which the tank must be buried is established using the 2D geometry of an ellipse,...
Understanding the Motion of the Wheels
This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics within the field of mechanical engineering and explores the design and construction of wheels, to be used to challenge a land speed record. These principles also apply in engines and gear-boxes, which are typically full...
Wider Implications of Shopping
Produced by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAE) this activity aims to encourage students to consider the wider environmental, social and economic implications of shopping. It can be conducted in small groups as an introduction to sustainability.
Wind Turbine Power Calculations
This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics within the field of mechanical and electrical engineering in the power industry. When planning a wind farm it is important to know the expected power and energy output of each wind turbine to be able to calculate its...
Winning Medals: Does Engineering Design Make a Difference?
This resource aims to give students the opportunity to investigate the impact of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) on wheelchair sport. Students create a presentation that provides a justified answer to the ‘big question’, does engineering design make a difference to a wheelchair athlete's...
