The Mathematics of Construction Shapes

In this resource students are to play the role of a site engineer on a major sewage project.

The job of the site engineer is to supervise the lifting of a number of large, non-uniform, heavy reinforced concrete slabs using a chain lifting system attached to a small site crane. The task involves ensuring...

The Mathematics of Material Quality Control

In this resource students are asked to test and monitor the strength of concrete specimens brought in to a materials testing laboratory.

In this exercise learners will consider some of the statistical issues that are relevant to the testing and control of concrete quality based on the testing of concrete...

The Mathematics of Water Flow in Channels

In this resource students are asked to play the role of a newly qualified engineering graduate that has taken a year out to work for an overseas aid agency in a developing country.

The civil engineering project you are working on aims to provide water to a number of rural villages where clean water for...

The Mathematics of Engineering Surveying (1)

In this resource students are to play the role of a graduate engineer working within an engineering surveying department for a major contractor.

Learners are to help establish a framework of control survey points for a new highway development consisting of a two mile by-pass around a small rural village....
