The Engineering Subject Centre is pleased to launch a series of handy Teaching guides. Aimed at the busy engineering academic, the booklets provide a starting point in a number of key areas. The guides also have companion versions on the web and it is hoped that the online format will encourage participation and feedback from the community and that the resources will then develop interactively over time, ensuring that content is current and relevant. Please see http://www.engsc.ac.uk/teaching-guides/ for more information. We would be grateful if you could circulate the links to colleagues as appropriate. We also have publicity postcards for each of the guides and would be happy to send out these and printed copies of the A5 guides if useful to you. Please also visit the web versions to leave your comments and suggestions, or email me, [log in to unmask] if you would like to know more about what the resources available from the Engineering Subject Centre.
