Lessons

Unit 3 — Ethical Systems Design

• Systems Thinking and the Systems Engineering Process (free) — Describe systems using input–process–output and feedback, identify subsystems, and explain the stages of the systems engineering process.
• Mechanical Systems — Levers, Moments, Gears, Pulleys and Mechanical Advantage (free) — Analyse mechanical systems using moments, mechanical advantage, velocity ratio, efficiency and gear ratios.
• Electrical Principles — Ohm’s Law, Power and Series and Parallel Circuits (free) — Apply Ohm’s law, power equations, series and parallel resistance and voltage dividers to analyse DC circuits.
• Electronic Components and Sensors (free) — Describe the function and use of common electronic components and sensors, and read circuit symbols.
• Control Systems — Open and Closed Loop, Microcontrollers and Programming — Explain open- and closed-loop control, use microcontrollers to read sensors and control outputs, and represent control logic with flowcharts or pseudocode.
• Energy, Sustainability and Ethical Systems Design — Analyse energy sources, conversion, storage and efficiency in systems, and apply ethical and sustainability considerations to system design.

Unit 4 — System Production and Innovative Technologies

• Producing, Testing and Fault-Finding Your Integrated System — Produce an integrated and controlled system safely, test subsystems systematically, diagnose faults with measuring equipment, and record modifications.

Exam Preparation

• New and Emerging Technologies, Evaluation and Exam Strategy — Analyse new and emerging technologies and their impacts, evaluate your system against criteria, and prepare for the written examination.
