Ridgewood School in north Doncaster is one of the UK's leading specialist schools in engineering and related technologies. The school has recently been awarded a second specialism in applied learning, and welcomes over 1,400 pupils through its doors every day. The author describes how the IET’s Faraday Web site, with a shot of inspiration from the BBC’s ‘Dragon’s Den’, formed the basis of a highly successful STEM enrichment day.

What's the sensible response to the VLE (virtual learning environment)? Should you ignore it? After all, if it's just another vacuous initiative, it will eventually ‘go away’. The author argues that teachers should take a positive approach to the use of VLEs.

Some three years from now, if all goes to plan, a UK fighter pilot will be strapped into an ultra-slim jet and rocket-powered vehicle prior to hurtling across some ten miles of carefully-selected desert at a maximum speed of over 1,000 mph. If successful, the car Bloodhound SSC (SuperSonic Car) will smash the existing world land-speed record of 763 mph, set by Thrust SSC in October 1997, by the largest incremental increase in history. In this article, the author looks at how the Bloodhound SSC‘s attempt is being harnessed to inspire young people to take up careers in science and engineering.

In the Autumn 2007 issue of Electronics Education, Joe Brock presented an introduction to the basics of fault-finding. This follow-up article, the first in a series of three, expands on Joe's introductory guide with an in-depth examination of the fault problems associated with conventional ‘hard-wired’ PCBs, i.e. printed circuit boards that do not incorporate a microcontroller such as PIC. The author takes a detailed look at techniques designed to promote effective fault prevention and detection insuch circuit boards.
