Describe, write about or show how mechanical & structural engineering affects our lives. Describe, write about or show how electrical engineering affects our lives. Investigate then explain or demonstrate the impact of a local or national civil engineering project e.g. The Queensferry Crossing, HS 2, the Forth & Clyde Canal.
Use my knowledge of scientific forces to design & build/simulate an object which would move well through air or water. Use what I know about electricity to design & build/simulate a solution to a simple electrical problem. Use what I know about magnetic & gravitational forces to design & build/simulate a solution of my choice.
Use what I know about energy & forces to design & create an object which uses sustainable power. Use what I know about floating & sinking to design & build/simulate a solution of my choice which is buoyant.
Research different engineering disciplines & match these correctly to real life objects, structures, problems & projects. Describe, write about or show the differences between engineering disciplines.
