Unit 2 : Design Technology
The aim of this unit is for learners to understand the development of approaches for solving design problems and the selection of appropriate materials. This unit also enables the learner to develop the skills and knowledge in computer aided design (CAD), in terms of producing 2D drawings.

Unit 3 : Electricity
The aim of this unit is for learners to develop the ability to be able to apply knowledge of AC and DC circuit theory to circuit design. Learners will also understand the fundamental principles of electricity and electromagnetic radiation.

Unit 4 : Mechanics
The aim of this unit is for learners to investigate the motion of particles and objects under the influence of interacting forces. They will also learn about sources of energy and conservation of energy.

Unit 5 : Introducing Statistics
This unit aims to introduce basic statistical concepts and fundamentals of statistical analysis, as well as build confidence in applying mathematical and statistical thinking and reasoning in a range of new and unfamiliar contexts to solve real-life problems.

Unit 6 : Mathematics
This unit will develop learners’ knowledge and understanding of the mathematical techniques commonly used to solve a range of engineering problems. Learners will be able to use mathematical formulas to solve practical problems commonly found within engineering studies.
