This project integrated the UK's new Engineering Diploma (ED) into the repertoire of the Education Centre of the Royal Armouries at Her Majesty's Tower of London. Interviews with ED teachers revealed two gaps, a need for hands-on experience and flawed perceptions of engineering. The project team modified existing sessions to better fit the ED curriculum, developed joint session themes with HMS Belfast, proposed Careers Days, and suggested improved evaluation processes.
