The HELM (Helping Engineers Learn Mathematics) project was a major three-year curriculum development project undertaken by a consortium of five UK universities Hull Loughborough (the lead institution) Manchester then UMIST) Reading and Sunderland and sponsored by UK government funding from October 2002-September 2005. It used the expertise from consortium partners and computer technology to enhance the mathematical education of engineering undergraduates through the development of a range of flexible learning resources in the form of Workbooks and web-delivered interactive courseware elements together with an integrated webdelivered CAA (Computer Aided Assessment) implementation. During this phase the focus was on the consortium developing and revising teaching materials which were critically read externally and then trialled piecemeal at a large number of HEIs.
