Engineering Curriculum
Design, from the inside out
The Engineering Curriculum is a free resource that unpacks Dyson technology, harnessing young people's curiosity for how things work.

Ideal for middle and high schools, students learn about Dyson technology, identifying design clues, to understand the engineering thinking behind how – and why – it works. It can be adapted for any classroom and the lessons are aligned to the Next Generation Science Standards.
Teacher's pack
Fully-supported lesson plans
The teacher's pack contains eight lesson plans, worksheets and supporting information for the teacher, explaining how the lessons relate to design engineering at Dyson.

Once they learn about Dyson technology, students will understand the design process from the inside out, and they'll be ready to develop their own solutions to everyday problems. They will also learn about the diversity of engineering jobs, hearing from real Dyson engineers.
Videos
MEET THE ENGINEERS
The videos include interviews with a range of Dyson engineers who work in different areas of engineering. Students will learn about the breadth of engineering disciplines, find out more about the engineer's role, how they got into engineering, and what they do day-to-day.
Also included are video guides to help understand the engineering inside Dyson vacuum cleaner accessories.
