02What you’ll learn
Engineering is about understanding how things work and designing systems that do a job well.
01
Gears, pulleys, levers and linkages that pass on motion and force.
02
Forces, loads and how frames and beams stay standing.
03
Sensors, circuits and components that detect and switch.
04
Program microcontrollers and use pneumatics to control systems.
