Updated on: 29-04-2024 Mechanical structures and their components (sub-parts of a structure) are found in many everyday products, such as bridges, buildings, and as part of systems, such as manufacturing equipment. The design and maintenance of mechanical structures and components can be crucial to prevent injury or loss of life, and to ensure that products are usable and services are available when required. The study of the forces acting on stationary structures and their components is often referred to as ‘statics’. You will investigate the theory that underpins the design of framed structures. You will then explore, through a combination of experimentation and theory, what happens when simply supported and cantilever beams are subjected to forces generated by applied loads. Finally, you will investigate the stresses and strains generated in structural components that carry bending, shear and axial loading. Stresses produced by changes in temperature are also covered. As part of the investigation, you will look at the design of a structure or components and make improvements so that they are fit for purpose. In our modern economy, consumers and organisations expect ever-increasing standards of safety and fitness for purpose of products, systems and other structures (for example buildings). Mechanical engineers will be able to work out if the loaded structure, such as a beam that forms part of a bridge, is in a safe condition. It is their job to understand and design products, systems and other structures that perform as intended. Studying this unit will help learners to progress to mechanical engineering technician job roles and also to higher education to study engineering.

Updated on: 11-09-2024 Business finance enables a business organisation to operate on a day-to-day basis, and over the long term, develop new products and invest in new equipment in order to access new markets. Decisions relating to business finance require careful planning and monitoring, which involve deciding where to obtain the finance, calculating business costs, and understanding how to evaluate and improve the overall performance of a business. In this unit, you will consider the importance of business finance and the types of business finance available in different contexts. The unit will introduce you to accounting terminology, the purpose and importance of business accounts, and the different sources of finance available to businesses. You will prepare and analyse business finance planning tools such as cash flow forecasts and break-even analyses. Measuring the financial performance of an organisation will require you to prepare and analyse statements of comprehensive income, and statements of financial position, in relation to the organisation’s profitability, efficiency and liquidity. This unit will give you a background to business finance and accounting as you progress to employment and further training.
