Bridging the Gap

This project aims to introduce students at GCSE level to structural engineering. A series of teaching resources relates the national curriculum to real world situations, giving examples of bridges in Newcastle and Cambridge.

In addition to the teaching resources, the project also aims to develop an online resource about the bridges of Cambridge and Newcastle to aid the CamBridge project, part of the 800th anniversary celebration of the University of Cambridge.

This website is part of the fourth year masters project of Kate Hillman at the Cambridge University Engineering Department in association with the Institution of Structural Engineers Education Trust.
