Target Audiences

Middle / High School students interested in pursuing engineering.

This course will be covering the basics of engineering and all necessary information for anyone who may want to learn a little bit more about the field of engineering. This includes the basics of physics (newtons three laws, scalar and vectors, distance and displacement), material science, structures (trusses and stress / strain), electrical components (insulators, conductors, series and parallel circuits, voltage / current / resistance), and mechanical machines (simple machines and robotics).

Included in this course are a few brief exercises that can be done at home using simple materials that apply the lessons learned to hands-on learning. All of these projects also require mostly materials that are readily available at local stores to make it more accessible for anyone who may be interested in trying. This is meant to be a beginner course, so no experience is necessary and is meant to help support anyone who may be interested or not quite know much about engineering at all.

By the end of the course, students will have a foundational understanding of key engineering concepts and the ability to apply this knowledge in practical, real-world scenarios. The goal is to inspire curiosity and provide the tools needed for further exploration in the field of engineering.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do I have access to the course materials?

You can view and review the lecture materials indefinitely, like an on-demand channel.

Can I take my courses with me wherever I go?

Definitely! If you have an internet connection, courses on Udemy are available on any device at any time. If you don’t have an internet connection, some instructors also let their students download course lectures. That’s up to the instructor though, so make sure you get on their good side!
