Resources by Royal Academy of Engineering

Engineering in a pandemic

This resource explores the vital role engineers play in responding to a global pandemic. It is designed to provide practical and contextualised tasks that demonstrate the role that STEM-based learning plays in real-world engineering scenarios.

Challenges in this STEM resource include:

• building...

Engineering Islam

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.

Engineering materials for a greener planet

Engineering materials for a greener planet features a series of real-world engineering activities that puts the environment at the heart of learning.

Students will explore the creative and practical side of STEM (science, technology, engineering, and maths) subjects, as well as being introduced to the...

Engineering our existence

These resources explore how different indigenous populations have used engineering to allow them to live in extreme environments and what we can learn from these solutions. They also explore some modern engineering solutions to living in extreme environments.

The engineering our existence STEM resources are...

Engineering Pick 'n' Mix

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.

Engineering Summer School

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.

Euler's characteristic

This resource explores how 'Euler's characteristic' has had an impact on many aspects of real-life, from computing to the shape of a football. The has been created by the Royal Academy of Engineering in partnership with Tomorrow's Engineers as a STEM club or STEM Ambassador activity, but can also be adapted by...

Flowers

This resource is designed as an introduction to deployable structures using flowers as an example from the natural world. It has activities associated with nets and density and discussion of a link to symmetry and transformations. There are also various practical suggestions (such as making a party blower).

Forces on Large Steam Turbine Blades

This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics within the mechanical and electrical engineering power industry. Here students learn how statistical models are used to set alarms which detect changes in vibration above normal values. The alarms highlight that...

Formula One Race Strategy

This resource, from Mathematics for Engineering Exemplars, shows the application of mathematics within Formula One racing. Here students learn about the models which are used to develop race strategy, since every F1 team must decide how much fuel their cars will start each race with, and the laps on which they will...
