Use these lists only as a guide to topics for revision.
Use the A-Z section and the main topic areas of the site for detailed revision.

Mechanisms,
Systems & Motion.
Gearing etc.

Analyse systems in relation to INPUT PROCESS &

OUTPUTS – & Sub systems. Analyse means of production.

Be aware of scientific principles. Levers & linkages. Gear ratios. Types of motion & conversions - Cranks, cams etc. Load, Fulcrum, Effort. Open & closed loop systems & feedback, feedback in production systems.

Health & Safety

Solvents, Glues & processes, Environmental management &

COSHH, Dust & fumes, Brazing / Welding / Soldering, tools &

equipment usage. Heat risks. Electrical safety and

regulations. Use information to assess unfamiliar risks.

Personal Safety. PSE.

Specific Commercial production scales, schedules for production /post production testing. Implications re
Tolerance

Prototype, One-off, Job production, Batch, Repetitive,
Continual Flow, Mass, Cell production, In-line production, JIT, Concurrent Engineering, JIGS, Templates, Patterns, Logistics, ISO 9000, Consumer Rights, Good working practice, Flow diagrams, Testing to destruction, Non-destructive testing, BSI, ‘Standards’ marks, ‘Kite’ / EU,
Tolerance/Cost implications. Difference between Quality assurance and quality control. Labelling, legislation, storage of product, LCA, CIM, CAM, CNC, CADD, CAD, DTP, etc.

ICT Flow Charts - (Critical path analysis)

Symbols used in flow and block diagrams.

Order of working, ( Importance to maximising use of time and

resources. ) ( e.g Microsoft ‘Project’ guide )

Extension > Break even analysis

Testing &
Trialing

Evaluation, customer testing, proposals for modifications.

Testing for quality assurance, Evaluate against ‘fitness

for purpose’ , the design need, need of intended users.

Non-Destructive testing. Sustainable resources, recycling, redundant products, safe disposal. Pollution. Analysis of manufacturing techniques including use of jigs, templates, patterns.

Structures –
(apply to products too

Recognise structures in man made and natural materials.

Equilibrium. Load. Reaction. Force – Newtons. Frames –

rigidity. Tension, Compression. Safety factors - Loading

Polymers

Thermoplastics (& types) and processes (line bending,

vacuum forming, injection moulding, etc.) Thermosetting

plastics. Biodegradable plastics extension>Basic chemistry

Products and

Analysis –

Scientific principles. Materials and means of manufacture. Processes, Analyse product against initial specification (PD Spec.) and 'fitness for purpose' Manufacturer's (Production) specification. Anthropometrics and Ergonomics, Market research.

Basic electrical
systems &
electronic
circuits and
components

Basics of movement types, mechanical systems. Simple

circuit diagrams. Electrical and basic electronic principles.

Simple wiring. Switches, DPDT, SPST, etc. Capacitors,

diodes, Transistors, electron flow, current, voltage, resistance,

Capacitance. Basic electrical units.

Finishes for
aesthetic - and
understanding -
for practical reasons

Oxidation (also useful to know of Aluminium’s properties re oxidation). Paints, lacquers, electroplating, anodising, galvanising, dip-coating, ’undersealing’. Corrosion cell – bimetallic corrosion – reactivity of common metals
