Developing web-based Materials Engineering teaching resources for 14-18 year old students.
This project seeks to develop a series of web pages of Materials Engineering technical articles (one page long, including diagrams) to attract the 14-18 year old school students. The website material will be set at a level so that it will serve as a resource for 14-18 year olds studying materials-based subjects at school. It is hoped that the information that they gain from using the resources will encourage them to select Loughborough as their university choice for their materials engineering degree.

Work required:
- engCETL to provide technical support and advise
- Department of Materials to produce technical information and to populate the web pages
- Department of Materials to investigate funding students to conduct data gathering over the summer of 2008
- engCETL to assist in evaluating the project
Latest Update - July 2010
Progress: 40%
3 case studies have been written by Department of Materials student over the summer 2008, currently being reviewed by academic staff in the department.
