I am a teacher of engineering with nearly 10 years experience. I endeavour to produce a range of resources that will help students to really engage with engineering as a subject and later, a profession. My resources are always produced to make it as easy as possible for you to change, edit add and remove content, or you can simply use the resources as they are. My main focus is to give you all of the information you will need to teach a subject, with as little fuss as possible.

4 Engineering Based Starter Activities

(0)
4 individual Starter activities for Engineering/DT courses. Suitable for year 10 up, these starters are a good way of engaging students and assessing prior knowledge. I have used them on both BTEC and City and Guilds engineering courses. Ready to use - just print them and away you go. Areas covered - Machining, (Resistant) Materials, Material properties and manual handling (health and safety)
Measurement Tolerances

Measurement Tolerances

(0)
A powerpoint presentation that shows how measurements are tolerance in engineering, technology and design. A few questions are included in the slides but more can be easily made by using the examples as a template. Used at the start of engineering measuring activities or before you introduce students to a practical activities in an engineering or design environment. Feel free to cut, chop and paste any of the slides as you see fit for your own purposes.

Thread Cutting - Tapping holes and cutting external threads.

(0)
Handout that would be useful for a cover teacher to teach students how to produce threaded holes and bar in a workshop setting. If workshop facilities are not available, students can use the questions at the end of the document to revise for theory based exams. Feel free to chop and change anything you want in order to meet your teaching needs.

CAM research session

(0)
Questions designed for students to research around the appropriate topics that feature in the City & Guilds Engineering CAM (Level 2) unit. Basic way of getting students to revise - My students quite enjoyed it and because of the way I worded questions, I had very good success rates. Feel free to cut any questions out that you want in order to suit your own teaching style.

Technical drawing activities

(1)
Tech drawing powerpoint that starts by showing the different types of line involved in engineering drafting and moves on to an animation that explains the methods behind drawing circles in isometric projection. Following this are several activities that use the technique, advancing in complexity. You could easily produce a handout from the frames in the slides, allowing for differentiation in ability. Feel free to cut, paste and change anything to suit your own style.
