Engineering Islam is an annual event hosted by the London Engineering Project (LEP). The event celebrates Islamic culture and aims to show young people the important contribution that Muslims made to society particularly in the field of science and engineering.

This London Engineering Project case study, part of the Royal Academy of Engineering collection, is a hands-on interactive activity aimed at Year 9 students and aims to show how creative engineering can be and encourages enterprise.

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), explores engineered materials in more detail, looking at a range of new or smart materials in industry. The resource is designed to allow students to: • understand that materials can be designed and made to specific characteristics and...

This London Engineering Project case study, part of the Royal Academy of Engineering collection, describes a summer school for Year 10 students designed to encourage and inspire participants to go on to higher education.

Opportunities for engineers exist at all levels and these career route maps from Neon show various routes through education and training to become a professional engineer in England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), focuses on understanding the concept of modular design and the casting process. The resource is designed to allow students to:

• describe the...

The development of running blades has greatly enhanced the running ability of amputees and people born without legs.  In this activity students learn more about how the inventor of running blades applied the scientific concept of potential elastic energy and biomimicry to design a high performance prosthetic leg....

Engineering for families is a 6-week structured course for children aged 7 - 11 and their families. It is designed to be used in an afterschool club led by teachers or other adults. Each week focuses on a career within a different discipline of engineering, with a final engineering challenge week. 

In activity, students produce an Engineering ‘specification’ based on application of their science and mathematics knowledge and understanding. This will be put into the context of risks to London from flooding and the need for improved flood defences due to increased risk of higher floods due to rising sea levels...

This resource, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), allows students to investigate the wide range of sophisticated imaging technology available in modern hospitals, and to explore the latest ideas in search-and-rescue robotics.

This activity provides a quick introduction to a lesson focusing on the link between water and health. It encourages students to think about the role of engineers in providing us with healthy water supplies and waste-water disposal systems.

These resources, from the HE STEM Programme South West, were produced  to enable academic staff, undergraduates, masters and PhD students in higher education institutions to undertake more effective outreach  through a better understanding of theory and practices with regard to school curricula and learning ...

This article looks at how STEM subjects can help students learn about key environmental issues using the National Association for Environmental Education's (NAEE) teacher handbooks about 'The Environmental Curriculum' and details of the 'Sustainable Development Goals' launched at the 2015 Paris agreement on climate...

These activities, from the Institute of Physics, look at electrical circuits. They provide a review of previous knowledge and introduce the language needed to cope with the greater depth of learning at post-16 level. Activities include: • a discussion about electrical circuits to reinforce knowledge and highlight...

Produced by the Learning and Skills Improvement Service, these materials are designed to raise awareness of the importance of estimating in engineering and to practise the skill. The activity includes discussion and matching sets of measurement cards to cards describing an object. The resource comprises: * Teacher...
