Engineering

The usual route into Engineering comes through the gaining of specific Engineering qualifications at University level. The A level candidate will probably have studied Maths, Physics and D&T in secondary school. In recent years students have been increasingly opting for vocational career pathways and this includes into Engineering. Therefore the teaching of the skills required by an engineer, should not be saved for further education but should be interwoven into the teaching and learning of STEM subjects at the secondary school level. Cross curricular Engineering requires all STEM subjects to look at their own classroom practice and develop learning experiences that require creative, practical hands on problem solving, using materials to produce a desired outcome. This book is a collection of Physics experiments that require the student to solve problems using Engineering.
