Engineering Science

This Unit provides a broad context for the Course. It introduces engineering concepts by exploring a range of engineered objects, and straightforward engineering problems and solutions. This Unit also allows the learner to explore some existing and emerging technologies and challenges, and to consider implications relating to the environment, sustainable development, and, economic and social issues. 

This Unit explores a range of key concepts and devices used in analogue and digital electronic control systems. Skills in problem solving are developed through simulation, practical projects and investigative tasks in a range of contexts. 

This Unit develops a basic understanding of simple mechanisms and structures. Skills in problem solving are developed through simulation, practical projects and investigative tasks in a range of contexts.
