Telemedicine is a new and fast developing field in healthcare. Even 20 years ago the idea of a surgeon being able to operate a robot from hundreds of miles away in order to perform an operation seemed like science fiction. Today, this is not only possible but engineers, working with scientists and doctors, are now...
Remote Operations
This Institute of Engineering and Technology (IET) DIY Faraday Challenge asks students to work in teams to design and make a prototype device that can be operated remotely to pick up objects and accurately locate them on a given target. Devices such as these are increasingly used in medical engineering...
Repeated graphical patterns
This resource from the IET Faraday programme, supported by MEI and Tomorrow's Engineers, asks students to read and interpret repeating wave pattern graphs.
"Engineers sometimes have to analyse data which shows a repeating pattern. Plotting a graph of the data is often helpful as it...
Reverse writing
This STEM activity teaches learners about the reflection of light in a mirror, by giving pupils the opportunity to use reverse writing to see how words change when reflected in a mirror and then make notes on this. This activity could be used as a starter or main activity to introduce concepts of light and build on...
Robot Arm Design
In this activity students design and model a robot arm in 2D, need to be able to name the main parts of a robot arm and to be able to design and make a 2D card model of a 3D product. Robot arms are an example of a programmable system. They are used in a wide variety of industrial applications, ranging from loading...
Robot Swarms
Together with related activities from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), this resource allows students to investigate the wide range of sophisticated imaging technology available in modern hospitals, and to explore the latest ideas in search-and-rescue...
Robotic Surgery
This video, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), explains how mechatronics, the combination of mechanical engineering, electronics and computer science, are used to develop robots. This example shows how mechatronics is being applied to the field...
Rocks Under Your Feet
This starter activity from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), provides a quick, engaging introduction to a lesson on the link between sewage and the underground tunnel system. Students identify from a geological survey map, the bedrock on which their...
Rosetta Code 1
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to a mathematical solution to code breaking by using a simple substitution code. Students will make a survey using the frequency of letters in English sentences, match up an...
Rosetta Code 2
This activity, from the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), introduces students to a mathematical solution to code breaking using a simple substitution code. Students make a survey using the frequency of letters in English sentences, match up an encoded...
