Unit Introduction What is “engineering”? Is it using materials and processes to manufacture a single item? Is it applying new technologies to mass production of well known products? Or is it implementing methods to reduce waste and improve the sustainability of energy sources? Engineering is all of these things and many more. It affects all aspects of our lives, from the daily use of time saving appliances to performance materials applied in ways we may never have imagined. In this unit, you will discover the world of engineering. You will investigate the processes used to manufacture modern products within different engineering sectors. You will also study some of the new developments in materials and engineering technology that have an impact on life today- or will have in the very near future. Engineers must be aware that products and processes may require the use of scarce resources that could have an impact on the environment. When an engineered product is made, used and disposed of, any waste of energy and environmental damage must be minimalized at all stages. Therefore, you will also investigate waste reduction and sustainability issues from an engineering perspective, discovering how engineers can help control and reduce environmental damage. Learning aims In this unit you will: A know about engineering processes used to produce modern engineered products B know about developments in engineering materials and technologies C understand how engineering contributes to a sustainable future.
