| Learn about Mechanics
This course provides an understanding of machines. As such it forms a foundation for understanding the scope and nature of machines; possibilities for achieving more efficient work outcomes with machines; how to make better choices of what machine to use for what job, and how to manage and maintain machinery you use.
Machines include obvious things such as cars and garden equipment; but also machinery used in factories, offices and other workplaces, and machines used to make life easier in our houses, from kitchen appliances to vacuum cleaners. A kitchen food processor is a machine, and are cars and robots. This course is relevant to all of these things.
When you better understand machines, you have a greater capacity to work in any industry.

| Develop a fundamental understanding of physics
as a foundation to applying theoretical physics in any world situations, from engineering and environmental management to rural industries and health sciences.
What sorts of things will you learn in this course?
Maths is the language of physics. Much of physics is about explaining physical phenomena and being able to create predictive mathematical models or theories to explain why things occur as they do and be able to predict future results in a reliable manner.
Study from home, but have tutor help available when you need it! |

Study Robotics to Discover How Robots are Used in the World Around Us
Robots are part of our lives. Some robots are more obvious such as those used in car manufacturing plants or those in distribution warehouses. However others are less obvious because they do not move. Nevertheless, robots have significant and valuable uses.
Robotics is an ever-expanding field and there are opportunities for people to be involved in the design, construction, and operation of robots.
Study this course to gain a solid foothold in this fascinating field. Learn about different types of robots, how robots can move, how robots orient in space, and where robots can be used to make our lives more fulfilling. The course may be used as a springboard for further study or just to satisfy your curiosity. |
