Engineering and Electronics in Motor Vehicles
This week in Motor Vehicle, our pre-16 learners have been getting hands-on with engineering and electronics. They’ve been following detailed instructions to build a fully functioning engine using a Meccano-style kit, giving them a practical insight into how mechanical components work together. This activity has helped them develop problem-solving skills and an understanding of the principles behind engine design and assembly.
Alongside this, learners have been experimenting with Hot Wires kits to explore the world of circuits and electronics. They created touch-controlled music and sound effect circuits, dark-activated lighting systems, and even an automatic FM radio. These projects encouraged creativity and technical thinking, while introducing them to real-world applications of electrical engineering. It’s been an exciting week full of innovation and discovery.
