	Sponsored by the Institution Engineers in Scotland (IES) and the Scottish Regional Group (SRG) of the Institution of Structural Engineers, undergraduate civil engineering students at Glasgow University, Amy Lillico and Ann-Cathirn Reismann worked with Iain MacLeod of IES on the development of a prototype information resource for structural mechanics. The outcome was [http://stempedia.com/ Stempedia]. The prototype was establishsed to test methods for presenting information for learners in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects and focuses on issues for early learners in structural mechanics. The project demonstrated the efficacy of hyperlinked documents for learning in technical contexts A particular focus was on Applications Sheets that explain how the mechanics is used in decision-making in structural design.
