The Mathematics of Beam Deflection
In this resource students are to play the role of a structural engineer working on the design of a prestigious new hotel complex.
As a design engineer students have to carry out complex calculations on the structures steelwork needed to make the building viable. Part of these calculations include assessing...
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 Earthwork Calculations
In this resource students are given a recent, real-life scenario of flood defence work to allow the learner to apply principles of numerical integration to approximate the calculation of earthwork quantities, including areas and volumes.
Students are asked to play the role of a newly qualified engineer...
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....
