Learn to analyze, design, manufacture, test, and troubleshoot mechanical systems using practical engineering methods, industry standards, and real-world projects.
20 modules and 5 complete real-project design packages, with worked calculations, drawings, field documentation, and a certificate of completion.
Forces, moments, torque, work, power, energy, stress, and strain — the engineering problem-solving method every later module builds on.
Steel, aluminum, titanium, plastics, composites — mechanical properties, corrosion, heat treatment, fatigue, and material selection.
The program’s hallmark module — 18 concept pairs from stress vs. pressure to factor of safety, buckling, and resonance.
Statics, free-body diagrams, equilibrium, friction, dynamics, kinematics, kinetics, and rotational motion.
Bearings, shafts, gears, belts, springs, fasteners, seals, clutches, and brakes — selection, design, and failure analysis.
Gearboxes, belt drives, chain drives, shaft alignment, and power calculations.
Fluid properties, Bernoulli’s principle, pumps, compressors, fans, piping systems, and head loss.
The first and second laws, conduction/convection/radiation, heat exchangers, steam systems, and refrigeration.
Machining, welding, casting, forging, sheet metal, injection molding, additive manufacturing, and quality control.
Design methodology, component sizing, tolerance analysis, and design for manufacturing/assembly — with worked examples.
Assembly and detail drawings, GD&T, welding symbols, surface finish symbols, and bills of materials.
Conveyor, hydraulic, pneumatic, pumping, and compressor systems — complete systems in context.
Preventive and predictive maintenance, condition monitoring, vibration analysis, and root cause analysis.
Real workflows with SolidWorks, Inventor, Fusion 360, ANSYS, MATLAB, and Excel.
Equipment installation, alignment, balancing, mechanical inspections, and acceptance testing.
Real diagnostic scenarios — bearing failures, misalignment, cavitation, and gearbox failures — symptoms to resolution.
A belt conveyor design — motor sizing, gearbox selection, belt tension calculations, and structural supports.
Pump selection with a worked head/flow/NPSH calculation, pipe sizing, and valve selection.
A custom rotary indexing machine — mechanical assembly, drive system, safety guards, and maintenance plan.
Equipment layout, material flow, mechanical drives, and pneumatic systems.
A central plant room — pump systems, chillers, boilers, piping layouts, and equipment supports.
Engineering standards, ASME/ISO fundamentals, design reviews, technical reports, and engineering ethics.
A downloadable kit of 12 real project templates, from load calculation worksheets to commissioning checklists.
A final design assignment, drawing-interpretation and troubleshooting exercises, a grading rubric, and your certificate of completion.
12 real project templates — load and stress calculation, bearing and shaft sizing worksheets, a GD&T reference checklist, an equipment installation and alignment checklist, a bill of materials template, a preventive maintenance schedule, a vibration analysis log, a root cause analysis form, a commissioning and acceptance testing checklist, a submittal log, an RFI template, and a punch list template. Available for download from Module 19 (Documentation & Resource Kit) once you've unlocked the program.
Coming later: CAD block libraries and video demonstrations. Not included in this release.
