To be able to evaluate the various sections of engineering and sub topics for your exam to reach your full potential
Engineering processes – Forming Casting
Casting is a manufacturing process in which a liquid material is usually poured into a mould, which contains a hollow cavity of the desired shape, and then allowed to solidify. The solidified part is also known as a casting, which is ejected or broken out of the mould to complete the process. Casting materials are usually metals or various cold setting materials that cure after mixing two or more components together; examples are epoxy, concrete, plaster and clay. Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would be otherwise difficult or uneconomical to make by other methods

Reducing waste
Reduce Engineers should think about using less materials and energy to manufacture products. Reuse If a product can be used again, this reduces the amount of materials going to landfill. Recover Waste materials can be treated to generate heat or power for other uses. Recycle Products can be broken down into materials that can then be re-manufactured to make new items.

To be able to evaluate the various sections of engineering and sub topics for your exam to reach your full potential
Renewable sources of energy
Wind Turbines are used to convert wind energy into electricity. They cause no air or water pollution, but are only efficient when it is windy. Hydro Moving water can be used to generate electricity via a turbine. The water can be stored in a reservoir to make sure there is always a supply. Solar Photovoltaic cells use the light of the sun to produce electricity. They work most efficiently when they are south-facing. Geothermal Steam naturally heated by the earth can be used to turn a turbine. This then generates electricity. There is no pollution from geothermal energy.
