About

EducateLink is an engineering and education website for students and working engineers. It covers the practical side of engineering that textbooks often skip, alongside clear study notes for the subjects engineering is built on.

What you’ll find here

  • Engineering guides: checklists, worked examples and explainers across civil, structural, mechanical, electrical and other disciplines.
  • Engineering case studies: bridge, dam and building failures, and what the investigations actually found.
  • Study notes: maths, physics, chemistry and other core subjects, written to be understood rather than memorised.
  • Tools and calculators: free calculators for common checks (coming soon).
  • Careers: guidance for engineering students and graduates, including professional assessment and registration.

Who writes the articles

Engineering articles are written and checked by a civil engineer with practical experience in design and construction. Study notes are checked against standard textbooks and syllabuses.

How articles are written

Articles draw on practical experience, published standards and reputable sources, which are listed at the end of each post. AI tools help with research, drafting and diagrams, and every article is checked and edited by a person before it is published. If you spot an error, please let us know through the contact page and it will be corrected.
