The UK Centre for Materials Education (UKCME) has produced a set of Quick Guides aimed at providing all those who are involved in Higher Education in Materials Science and Engineering with an overview of ‘hot’ educational topics.

Each guide gives a brief outline of the issue from a Materials teaching perspective, pointers to key readings and links to online resources from the Higher Education Academy (HEA), as well as advice on how the UKCME can help you.

The Quick Guide topics include:

• 14-19 Diploma

• Laboratory Classes
• Plagiarism and Collusion
• Sustainability
• Teaching Students From Other Cultures
