Technicians are available for advice online. If you need to ask us for advice please first email us with your questions. Unless it is a simple question please send us images and a synopsis of your project/idea, what you want to make and what you need to achieve. Remember that you are familiar with your design, we will not be and so need more background information and images to allow us help you.

If you are not sure which Technician to ask just email one of us and we’ll advise

scott.gubbins@strath.ac.uk d.bertolaccini@strath.ac.uk (Dino) thomas.condie@strath.ac.uk (Tam) dale.gibson@strath.ac.uk neil.shepherd@strath.ac.uk duncan.lindsay@strath.ac.uk

Once we have had the chance to review your work, we can then look to discuss things further via email, zoom, skype or phone.

There are many online resources available to you, this could be the library or youtube. There will be stuff on myplace also. Unless you have already done so, a physical model will be difficult for anyone to make. So images, pencil sketches, renders, simple homemade (well made) models will suffice. Do as much research online as you can, use that research to inform your design/idea/product. Remember that showing why something will not work (at the moment) is just as valid as showing a positive result. Your research will support your project. You may come across something surprising.
