They also created a smaller 3D model for Francesca to take home with her.ĭavid said: “The idea demonstrates the importance of engineering technology solving problems in other sectors and enabling ideas from the classroom to become a reality is a privilege. When the competition returned to the University in June this year, Francesca’s Unibot was revealed for the first time as a working protype – thanks to a team of University engineering experts, or ‘ProtoTeam’ – Electronic and Electrical Lecturer Dr Abdu Shaalan and Spyros Fakiridis, and Associate Head of the University’s School of Engineering, David Knapton. All entries are graded by engineers and all pupils receive a graded certificate. ![]() The national competition sees tens of thousands of pupils across the UK, from reception to Year 13, identify problems – large and small – and design solutions to solve them. The eight-year-old’s design was crowned one of the winners of the Primary Engineer annual Leaders Award competition, ‘If You Were An Engineer, What Would You Do?’ hosted by the University at its David Goldman Technology Centre, St Peter’s Campus, for the north-east region. It was the merit of Bartolus, on the other hand, that he employed the dialectical method with advantage as a teacher, and discountenanced the abuse of it but his great reputation was more probably owing to the circumstance that he revived the exegetical system of teaching law (which had been neglected since the ascendancy of Accursius) in a spirit which gave it new life, whilst he imparted to his teaching a practical interest, from the judicial experience which he had acquired while acting as assessor to the courts at Todi and at Pisa before he undertook the duties of a professorial chair.Published on 21 November 2023 Francesca Mobberley's prototype unveiling at the University of SunderlandĪ school pupil whose engineering talents were discovered at the University in Sunderland has gone on to win a top prize for her children’s hospital invention at a prestigious national award ceremony in London.įrancesca Mobberley, from Dame Allan’s Junior School in Newcastle, first wowed a panel of engineering experts in 2022 with her Unicorn Health Bot (Unibot), which is designed to keep children calm in hospital and offer a pleasant distraction, while using electronic sensors in its horn to read important information, including heart rate, oxygen levels and temperature. Bartolus left behind him a great reputation, and many writers have sought to explain the fact by attributing to him the introduction of the dialectical method of teaching law but this method had been employed by Odofredus, a pupil of Accursius, in the previous century, and the successors of Odofredus had abused it to an extent which has rendered their writings in many instances unprofitable to read, the subject matter being overlaid with dialectical forms. ![]()
