摘要:

A whole new vocabulary is beginning to be spoken by the trend setters; ground-track, antenna (whatever happened to that nice word aerial?), uplink and NOAA, all trip off the tongue. So how can the novice gain access to this mysterious world of satellites?

摘要:

Although this article refers specifically to activities undertaken in the Midlands area, the initiatives discussed are implemented throughout the UK. The Neighbourhood Engineers scheme, which is organised by the Engineering Council, links three or four professional engineers and technicians with local secondary schools. Working in teams with teachers, Neighbourhood Engineers provide friendly, informal, practical and committed support to the daily life of the school. The scheme is currently operational in 15 areas throughout the UK, It will eventually involve 24 000 engineers working with all 6 000 secondary schools. Should you be interested in becoming involved in the Neighbourhood Engineers scheme, further information can be obtained from the Engineering Council, industry and Regions Directorate, 10 Maltravers Street, London WC2R 3ER. Tel. 071-240 7891.

摘要:

The Engineer-in-Residence project has now taken place in a similar format for three consecutive years. Following the precedent set by Robert Kemp in 1989, Martin Field was releasedby the Eastern Electricity Board to work with Stowupl and High School for one week in 1990,followed by Norman Morrison in 1991. The Board also released its Education Advisor Kate Mortimer, and its Area Training Officer for a week. As part of the week's work a team of three girlstookthe opportunity to enter the company's ‘Waltville’ competition. The task was to prepare apresentation using a special piece of computer software, which would show an imaginary town councilhow and why it should save energy. The team won the Suffolk area section of the competition.

摘要:

My Dad has high blood pressure and when he wants to check his blood pressure, he needs a second person to help him, because when you are taking blood pressure, you need to pump up the arm restriction. For the blood pressure gauge to work, you need to hold the stethoscope in place so that you can tell when the blood has stopped and when it is circulating again. As one arm is being obstructed, it is difficult to inflate the restriction with one hand and hold the stethoscope in the other. It was also inconvenient to call a second person. This is why I made a device that could be clipped onto the finger so that the pulse could be displayed on an oscilloscope without using a stethoscope.
