Sound Design
The resources in this collection use everyday contexts, such as the design of music venues and airports, to encourage students to consider how materials need be tested for their suitability for a specific job before engineers in construction projects can choose them. The tasks ask students to think about what properties need to be considered, how these might be scientifically tested, and how other considerations concerning the design of a product might influence the choice of which material is best for the job.

Structural Engineering 2
This practical activity challenges students to design and engineer a roof structure that will span an area of 500mm x 300mm with specific constraints on the materials and construction methods used. They also identify which pieces (members) of the structure are in...
Sound Design
This video looks at the structural design of the O2 building in Dublin. This is a built music venue with a capacity of 14,000 people, designed to provide unrestricted views and excellent acoustics. The film shows the exciting role of acoustic engineers and explains how they developed criteria from the...
Investigating Engineering Design 1
This starter activity can be used as an introduction to reverse engineering. Using the presentation Earphones and Headphones, students are asked to identify the product and its function. They consider the following questions:
...Investigating Engineering Design 2
These activities provide students with an understanding of the importance of fitness for purpose when designing new products. Students learn how to effectively dismantle and investigate an engineered product to determine its function/purpose.
