Dear Bryson,
You might want to contact another member of the R.I. maths team, Amy Hooker, Clothworkers' Associate in Mathematics (ahooker@ri.ac.uk). Amy was co-opted to help the senior Clothworkers' Fellow in Mathematics, Vinay Kathotia, expand the primary masterclass programme. However, 6 months or so ago, Amy also launched a project to convey to students the interesting mathematics thrown up by engineering problems.
