HELM - Helping Engineers Learn Mathematics

HELM - Helping Engineers Learn Mathematics - is a major 3-year curriculum development project to support the mathematical education of engineering students.

HELM is sponsored by the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE) through phase 4 of the Fund for the Development for Teaching and Learning (FDTL4).

HELM aims to

enhance the mathematical education of engineering undergraduates by the provision of a range of flexible learning resources.
drive student learning via a computer based assessment regime.

HELM learning resources will comprise

40 workbooks of approximately 50 pages each.

Mathematics for engineering simply explained.
Worked examples.
Case studies.

Computer aided assessment (CAA) for all topics.
Illustrative computer aided learning (CAL) segments.

HELM is developing two modes of Computer aided assessment (CAA).

web-based (up and running).
CD based (on trial).

HELM resources will be on trial at over 20 HEIs in 2003-04. Enquiries from other HEIs in England and Northern Ireland who would like to trial the materials are welcome. To find out more, contact the project.
