Engineering Foundation

The first level of the Engineering track, and no prior engineering background is assumed. It opens with what separates engineering from applied science, then works through the physical disciplines every engineer needs a working sense of, forces and structures, materials behaviour, thermodynamics and heat transfer, electrical circuits, and feedback control. The second half turns to how engineering actually gets managed and delivered: systems engineering and verification, manufacturing tolerance and quality control, and the ethical obligations that sit above every other professional consideration. Four interactive models, a mission scenario in every chapter grounded in real engineering history, and an open-response exercise read by ATLAS.
