  • Civil Structures Bridges (New Syllabus Update)



  • This beautiful resource is an artistic presentation of engineering set in a context of modern-day materials and construction techniques with a classical approach to historical influences.


    It has been meticulously planned and assembled to includes images and video clips, which are not only educational but inspiring. It is supported by a colourful wall chart (below).

  • Content


    The content, images and video clips, in this resource followed the building of a Bridge over the M5 Motorway to the airport and the city of Sydney, a major suburban Bus Transit way and the construction of the massive M7 Orbital Highway on the outskirts of Sydney. Other features include:

    257 full colour ‘on-screen’ pages

    Most have ‘mouse-over’ hypertext features revealing special Animations, graphics, additional text, definitions, formulae etc.


    236 pages of ‘learn to’ content and ‘learn about’ question

    (Many with worked solutions). One click of the Print button launches a .doc file.


    38 Video Clips of

    Bridges, historical sites, construction processes, materials testing, environmental contexts, machinery etc.


    Many web site references

    One ‘click’ launches a Web browser for direct connection.


    Many ‘learn about’ assignments have

    Most have ‘mouse-over’ hypertext features revealing special Animations, graphics, additional text, definitions, formulae etc.


    Engineering drawing exercises

    using images of real bridge components.


    Engineering reports

    based on relevant bridge building procedures and materials.

    Content


    This DVD contains the entire 30 hour program and registration for the Engineering studies application module ‘Personal and public transport’.

    It is a teacher-focused, strategy-based working classroom program with five ‘learn about’ sections that are supported by hyperlinked topic content and ‘learn to’ question files.

    A Laptop Computer and Data Projector or Interactive Whiteboard allows the teacher to introduce topics, display and discuss content then reveal student assignment worksheets.

    Prepared copies can be issued to students, worked on in class and answers displayed for group discussion, marking and correcting.

    With an Unlimited Licence, students receive a free copy of all content (whilst at your school) and ‘learn to’ questions (without answers).

    That’s right; for the student too! This is an approach to Teaching and Learning, which allows your students to be proactive in determining their learning outcomes. Since the students have their own copy, the teacher can have them plan ahead for future lessons.
