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: 37 free online tools, including civil engineering calculators for concrete, reinforcement, levelling, beams and earthworks, and student tools for referencing, PDFs, GPA and word counts.
- Careers: guidance for engineering students and graduates, including professional assessment and registration.
Who writes the articles
EducateLink is run by a civil engineer with practical experience in design and construction. Engineering articles are researched against published standards, investigation reports, government and industry guidance and textbooks. Study notes are checked against standard textbooks and university sources.
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. Every calculation in an article is worked through and checked, every diagram is drawn for the article, and every post lists the sources it relies on. If you spot an error, please let us know through the contact page and it will be corrected.
