We,
are MUTR. What can we do for you?
 As colleagues and
friends will remember, Teaching Resources started life supporting local schools
and in-service events. It has now grown into a much larger self-funded organisation
within Middlesex University, but its central aim remains that of supporting
design and technology teachers during times of very rapid change. We work closely
with the Technology
Enhancement Programme (TEP) and the rapidly emerging Science
Enhancement Programme (SEP) - and make special mention here of the
generosity of the Gatsby Charitable Foundation which has facilitated the outstanding
work of these initiatives.
Middlesex University Teaching Resources (MUTR), was pleased
to support the Gatsby-funded Science Year Gift launched by the Royal Society.
 The move from cottage
industry to the much larger organisation has not been easy, but we continue
to be magnificently supported by the patience and enthusiasm of our ‘customers’
and of Middlesex University. As this new website will demonstrate, we want to
help drive our subject forward, but at the same time retain the vital skills
that enable young people to engage with materials and turn ideas into real products.
We remain committed to innovation and service ahead of profit, and we hope you will enjoy looking through these pages and seeing the new things on offer, both to educational and home users, many of which have been suggested by you.
On behalf of all at Teaching Resources and Middlesex, we wish you every success for the new academic year.

 About the TECHNOLOGY
ENHANCEMENT PROGRAMME
TEP is now in its ninth year and has a membership of over 1500 schools – one third of the UK total. The programme continues to focus on enriching and enhancing technology education through its training programmes and distinctive resources – many of which now take the form of CD ROMs. TEP’s collaboration with other organisations has provided new curriculum opportunities – e.g. the MTTA (Machine Tools Trade Association) challenge; resources and training for Technogames.
TEP has supported, and in many cases pioneered the use of new technologies in school – e.g. smartcard control; PIC programming (via the Chip Factory); the use of modern and smart materials such as polymorph, thermochromic film, shape memory alloy etc.
Those schools joining the programme will receive INSET at an advantageous rate. This will include a resources pack and coverage of new TEP projects that can be used in the classroom to illustrate important techniques and principles and meet national curriculum requirements.
For further information on joining TEP, please contact:
