The engineeringLinks
program links you with UTS engineering students to work together to:
- organise an engineering event or
challenge
- develop a unit of work
- talk to your class on an engineering
topic
- find information and resources
- design resources for your teaching
program
- engage your students in hands-on
engineering experiences
- develop web-bases resources to
support your teaching program
Through our
engineeringLinks Program, UTS:Engineering can provide teachers and

aims to:
- Support teachers with resources
for subjects that have engineering concepts within the
curriculum
- Give UTS engineering students the
opportunity to develop their communication and management skills
with people who are not engineers
- Promote engineering as a career
option for both girls and boys
- Raise public awareness of the
role engineering plays in our daily lives
The
project was developed because:
Engineers need
- to communicate technical issues with
non-engineers and interact more effectively with the community about
social needs and technological impacts and risks
- to share their design and specialist
expertise with technology teachers and their educators
Educators need
- user friendly sources of knowledge
in fields of their teaching subjects related to engineering
- an understanding of the importance
of engineering to their teaching subjects
- help and resources for their
technology education programs
School students need
- to determine their future
- to hear the advice of those who have
recently made their career choice (their peers)
