1. Health and Safety in the Workshop | 车间健康与安全
Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety goggles, aprons, and steel-toe boots when working in the workshop. Tie back long hair and remove dangling jewellery to prevent entanglement in machinery.
在车间工作时，务必穿戴合适的个人防护装备（PPE），例如安全护目镜、围裙和钢头安全鞋。长发应束起，并取下悬挂的首饰，以防被机器卷入。
The Health and Safety at Work Act outlines the legal responsibilities of both employers and employees to maintain a safe working environment. Risk assessments must be carried out before using any tool or machine to identify potential hazards and apply control measures.
《工作健康与安全法》规定了雇主和雇员在维护安全工作环境方面的法律责任。使用任何工具或机器前必须进行风险评估，以识别潜在危险并采取控制措施。
Familiarise yourself with emergency stop buttons, fire extinguisher locations and evacuation routes. Never use a machine unless you have received proper training and understand its safe operating procedures.
熟悉紧急停止按钮、灭火器位置和疏散路线。除非经过适当培训并了解安全操作规程，否则切勿操作机器。
2. Tools and Workshop Equipment | 工具与车间设备
Common hand tools in a school workshop include hacksaws, files, G-clamps, centre punches, rulers, try squares and screwdrivers. Each tool has a specific purpose: a hacksaw is used for cutting metal or plastic, while a file smooths rough edges.
学校车间常见的手工工具包括钢锯、锉刀、G形夹、中心冲、直尺、直角尺和螺丝刀。每种工具都有特定用途：钢锯用于切割金属或塑料，锉刀用于打磨粗糙边缘。
Marking out is a crucial step before cutting or shaping materials. Engineers use scribers, dividers and marking blue to transfer precise measurements from technical drawings onto workpieces.
划线是在切割或塑形之前的关键步骤。工程师使用划线针、分规和划线蓝液将技术图样上的精确尺寸转移到工件上。
Pillar drills and belt sanders are stationary machines that require extra caution. Always clamp the workpiece securely and ensure guards are in place. Remember to adjust the speed setting appropriately for the material being drilled or sanded.
台钻和带式砂光机是需要格外小心的固定设备。务必牢固夹紧工件并确保防护罩到位。根据所加工的材料合理调整转速设置。
3. Properties of Engineering Materials | 工程材料性能
Materials are selected for engineering applications based on their properties. Key mechanical properties include strength, hardness, toughness, ductility, malleability and elasticity. Strength is the ability to withstand an applied force without breaking.
工程应用根据材料性能进行选材。关键的力学性能包括强度、硬度、韧性、延展性、可塑性和弹性。强度是指材料承受外力而不发生断裂的能力。
Hardness measures a material’s resistance to scratching or indentation. For example, high-carbon steel is harder than mild steel. Toughness is the ability to absorb energy and deform plastically before fracturing, important for car bumpers.
硬度衡量材料抵抗刮擦或压痕的能力。例如，高碳钢比软钢更硬。韧性是材料在断裂前吸收能量并发生塑性变形的能力，对于汽车保险杠至关重要。
Electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity are physical properties that matter greatly in electronic and heat-transfer applications. Copper is widely used for wiring because of its excellent electrical conductivity.
导电性和导热性是在电子和热传递应用中至关重要的物理性能。铜因其出色的导电性而广泛用于电线制造。
4. Metals and Alloys | 金属与合金
Ferrous metals contain iron and are typically magnetic. Examples include mild steel (low carbon), high-carbon steel and cast iron. Mild steel is easy to shape and weld, making it common in construction and car bodies.
黑色金属含铁且通常具有磁性。例如软钢（低碳钢）、高碳钢和铸铁。软钢易于成型和焊接，因此常用于建筑和汽车车身。
Non-ferrous metals do not contain iron and are generally more resistant to corrosion. Aluminium is lightweight and used in aircraft and drinks cans. Copper is prized for its ductility and conductivity. Brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, is corrosion-resistant and used in plumbing fittings.
有色金属不含铁，通常更耐腐蚀。铝重量轻，用于飞机和饮料罐。铜因其延展性和导电性而备受青睐。黄铜是铜和锌的合金，耐腐蚀，用于管道配件。
An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements, at least one of which is a metal. Alloying can improve properties: stainless steel (iron, chromium and nickel) resists rust, while solder (tin and lead or other lead-free alternatives) melts at a low temperature for joining electronic components.
合金是两种或多种元素的混合物，其中至少一种为金属。合金化可以改善性能：不锈钢（铁、铬和镍）防锈，而焊料（锡和铅或其他无铅替代品）熔点低，用于连接电子元件。
5. Plastics and Composites | 塑料与复合材料
Plastics can be divided into thermoplastics and thermosetting plastics. Thermoplastics like acrylic, polypropylene and ABS become soft when heated and can be reshaped repeatedly. Acrylic is often used as a glass substitute because it is transparent and shatter-resistant.
塑料可分为热塑性塑料和热固性塑料。亚克力、聚丙烯和ABS等热塑性塑料受热变软，并可反复重塑。亚克力通常用作玻璃替代品，因为它透明且抗碎。
Thermosetting plastics, such as epoxy resin and melamine formaldehyde, undergo a chemical change when heated that permanently sets their shape. Once set, they cannot be remoulded, making them ideal for high-heat applications like saucepan handles.
环氧树脂和三聚氰胺甲醛等热固性塑料在加热时发生化学变化，永久定型。一旦固化，无法再次塑形，因此非常适合制作锅柄等耐高温应用。
Composites are made by combining two or more materials with different properties. Fibreglass (glass fibres in a polyester resin) is strong and lightweight, used for boat hulls. Carbon fibre is even stronger for its weight but more expensive, appearing in high-performance sports equipment.
复合材料由两种或多种性能不同的材料组合而成。玻璃纤维（玻璃纤维增强聚酯树脂）强度高且重量轻，用于船体。碳纤维在同等重量下强度更高但价格较贵，出现于高性能运动器材中。
6. Mechanical Systems and Levers | 机械系统与杠杆
A lever is a simple machine that amplifies an input force to lift a load. It consists of a rigid bar pivoting on a fulcrum. Class 1 levers have the fulcrum between effort and load (e.g. seesaw, crowbar).
杠杆是一种简单机械，能放大输入力来提起负载。它由一根绕支点转动的刚性杆组成。第一类杠杆的支点在动力和阻力之间（如跷跷板、撬棍）。
In a class 2 lever, the load is between the fulcrum and the effort, giving a mechanical advantage. Wheelbarrows and nutcrackers are everyday examples. Class 3 levers place the effort between fulcrum and load; tweezers and fishing rods use this arrangement to increase speed or distance of movement.
第二类杠杆的负载位于支点和动力之间，能提供机械优势。独轮手推车和胡桃夹子是常见实例。第三类杠杆的动力在支点和负载之间；镊子和钓鱼竿利用这种布置来增加运动速度或距离。
Mechanical advantage (MA) is calculated as load divided by effort. A high MA means a smaller effort is needed to move a large load. Moment of a force is the product of force and perpendicular distance from the pivot, measured in newton-metres (Nm).
机械优势（MA）等于负载除以动力。较高的 MA 意味着只需较小的动力即可移动大负载。力矩是力与到支点垂直距离的乘积，单位为牛顿米（Nm）。
7. Gears, Pulleys and Linkages | 齿轮、滑轮与连杆
Gears are toothed wheels that mesh together to transmit torque and change the speed or direction of rotation. A driver gear turns a driven gear. If the driven gear has more teeth, speed reduces but torque increases; if it has fewer teeth, speed increases.
齿轮是相互啮合的带齿轮子，用于传递扭矩并改变旋转速度或方向。主动齿轮带动从动齿轮。如果从动齿轮的齿数更多，则速度降低但扭矩增大；如果齿数更少，则速度加快。
Pulley systems use grooved wheels and belts to transfer motion. A belt drive can change the direction of rotation depending on whether the belt is open or crossed. The velocity ratio of a pulley system depends on the diameters of the driver and driven pulleys.
滑轮系统利用带槽轮子和皮带传递运动。根据皮带是否交叉，带传动可以改变旋转方向。滑轮系统的速度比取决于主动轮和从动轮的直径。
Linkages are assemblies of rigid rods connected by joints that can change the direction or type of motion. Reverse-motion linkages make the output move in the opposite direction to the input; parallel-motion linkages keep the output parallel, used in toolboxes and adjustable lamps.
连杆是由铰链连接的刚性杆组件，能改变运动的方向或类型。反向运动连杆使输出与输入运动方向相反；平行运动连杆使输出保持平行，用于工具箱和可调灯具。
8. Basic Electronic Circuits | 基础电子电路
An electronic circuit is a closed loop that allows electric current to flow. Current (I) is measured in amperes (A), voltage (V) in volts, and resistance (R) in ohms (Ω). Ohm’s law states: V = I × R. To calculate resistance, rearrange to R = V / I.
电子电路是允许电流流动的闭合回路。电流（I）以安培（A）为单位，电压（V）以伏特为单位，电阻（R）以欧姆（Ω）为单位。欧姆定律指出：V = I × R。计算电阻时，可变换公式为 R = V / I。
Components include resistors, light-emitting diodes (LEDs), switches, buzzers and batteries. Resistors have colour bands that indicate their resistance value; the first two bands are digits, the third is a multiplier, and the fourth indicates tolerance.
电路元件包括电阻器、发光二极管（LED）、开关、蜂鸣器和电池。电阻器上的色环表示其阻值；前两环为数字，第三环为倍乘数，第四环表示容差。
In a series circuit, components are connected end-to-end, so the same current flows through each. In a parallel circuit, components are connected across common points, giving multiple paths for current. If one branch fails in a parallel circuit, the others continue to work.
在串联电路中，元件首尾相连，因此相同电流流经每一个元件。在并联电路中，元件跨接在公共点之间，为电流提供多条路径。如果并联电路中的一个支路出现故障，其他支路仍可工作。
9. Engineering Drawing and CAD | 工程制图与CAD
Orthographic projection uses multiple 2D views (front, side and plan) to fully describe a 3D object. All views are aligned and drawn to scale. Hidden detail is shown with dashed lines, and centre lines are indicated by long-short dash patterns.
正投影法使用多个二维视图（前视图、侧视图和俯视图）来完整描述三维物体。所有视图都对齐并按比例绘制。隐藏细节用虚线表示，中心线用长-短-长的点划线表示。
Isometric drawing is a pictorial method where the object is tilted to show three faces at once. Lines are drawn at 30 degrees to the horizontal, and dimensions remain true along these axes. It gives a realistic impression without the distortion of perspective.
等轴测图是一种绘图方法，物体倾斜以同时展示三个面。线条与水平线成30度角，沿着这些轴线尺寸保持真实。它能给出逼真的视觉印象，而不会产生透视变形。
Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software such as Tinkercad or Fusion 360 allows engineers to create precise 2D and 3D models, simulate assemblies and check for interferences. CAD files can be exported to Computer-Aided Manufacturing (CAM) machines like laser cutters or 3D printers to produce physical prototypes.
计算机辅助设计（CAD）软件，如 Tinkercad 或 Fusion 360，让工程师可以创建精确的二维和三维模型，模拟装配并检查干涉。CAD 文件可以导出到计算机辅助制造（CAM）机器，如激光切割机或3D打印机，以制作实体原型。
10. Sustainable Engineering and the Environment | 可持续工程与环境
Sustainability in engineering means meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. The 6Rs of sustainability – Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, Rethink, Refuse and Repair – guide decision-making throughout a product’s life cycle.
工程领域的可持续性意味着满足当前需求，同时不损害后代满足其自身需求的能力。可持续性的6R原则——减少、重用、回收、反思、拒绝和修复——指导产品全生命周期的决策。
Life cycle assessment (LCA) examines the environmental impact of a product from raw material extraction, manufacturing and distribution through to usage and end-of-life disposal. Engineers aim to design products that use fewer resources, consume less energy and generate minimal waste.
生命周期评估（LCA）考察产品从原材料提取、制造和分销到使用及报废处置各阶段的环境影响。工程师力求设计出资源消耗少、能耗低且废物产生量最小的产品。
Using renewable and biodegradable materials, designing for easy disassembly, and incorporating energy-efficient technologies are examples of sustainable engineering practices. Wind turbines, solar panels and electric vehicles illustrate how engineering can reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
使用可再生和可生物降解的材料、设计易于拆卸的结构以及采用节能技术，都是可持续工程实践的范例。风力涡轮机、太阳能电池板和电动汽车展示了工程如何减少对化石燃料的依赖。
