l Girls get in on the act . . .

Pupils at the ‘Engineering for Girls’ day

▲

More than 70 girl students between the ages of 12 and 14 from six South Yorkshire, UK, secondary schools took part in a design and technology challenge that gave them an insight into the huge career opportunities in engineering. The MasMicro ‘Engineering for Girls’ day was organised by Sheffield Hallam University in association with NAMTEC (National Metals Technology Centre) and held at Swinden House in Rotherham. Students were specially selected who had shown an interest in science and engineering subjects. The challenge they were set was to design and produce a bubble blower, which the pupils manufactured on the day from Perspex. This involved practical engineering techniques, such as soldering, shaping and moulding the product as well as testing their IT, design and marketing skills. Morgan ventures into the Czech market Morgan Construction Company will provide a bar in coil outlet for wire rod and bar producer Třinecké Železárny AS in Třinec, Czech Republic, that incorporates a heat retention tunnel to achieve specific mechanical properties. With the new equipment, Třinecké will be able to produce bar coils from 16mm in diameter up to 50mm with coil sizes of 1,350mm in outside diameter, using special steels – high-alloyed and micro-alloyed steels as well as cold heading grade steel. Attached to Třinecké’s pre-existing bar mill, the bar in coil outlet will also be capable of producing small lots of half-weight coils up to 2 tons. The contract also includes the supply of two strap compactors and a belly banding strap machine. Start up is expected by the end of April 2008.
