1. The Design Process | 设计流程
Engineering design follows a cycle rather than a fixed sequence. The main stages are identifying a need, writing a design brief and specification, researching existing products, generating ideas, developing a chosen solution, modelling, testing, evaluating, and communicating the final design.
工程设计遵循循环过程而非固定顺序。主要阶段包括确定需求、撰写设计简介与规格、调研现有产品、构思方案、发展选定方案、建模、测试、评估并交流最终设计。
A design specification sets measurable criteria such as size, mass, cost, materials, safety, and performance. It allows a design to be judged objectively against the original need.
设计规格应设定可测量的标准，如尺寸、质量、成本、材料、安全性和性能，使设计方案能够对照原始需求进行客观评价。
In CCEA coursework, evidence of iterative development is important. You should show how testing and evaluation lead to modifications, not just describe a single final idea.
在 CCEA 课程作业中，迭代开发证据非常重要。应展示测试和评价如何促成修改，而不是只描述一个最终想法。
2. Engineering Materials | 工程材料
Materials are usually grouped into metals, polymers, ceramics, composites, and smart materials. Each group has characteristic properties that determine its uses.
材料通常分为金属、聚合物、陶瓷、复合材料和智能材料。每一类材料都有决定其用途的特征性能。
Ferrous metals contain iron, such as mild steel and cast iron; non-ferrous metals do not, such as aluminium, copper, and brass. Alloys are mixtures of metals or metals with other elements to improve properties.
黑色金属含铁，如低碳钢和铸铁；有色金属不含铁，如铝、铜和黄铜。合金是金属与金属或其他元素混合以改善性能的材料。
Polymers include thermoplastics, which can be reheated and reshaped, and thermosetting plastics, which cannot be remoulded after curing. Composites such as carbon fibre combine two or more materials to gain a better strength-to-weight ratio.
聚合物包括可重复加热成型的热塑性塑料，以及固化后不能重新成型的热固性塑料。碳纤维等复合材料将两种或更多材料结合，以获得更好的强度重量比。
Smart materials change their properties in response to an external stimulus, such as shape memory alloys, piezoelectric materials, and photochromic pigments. Engineers select materials by matching required properties to working conditions and cost.
智能材料会对外部刺激作出响应而改变性能，例如形状记忆合金、压电材料和光致变色颜料。工程师通过将所需性能与工作条件和成本相匹配来选择材料。
3. Mechanical Properties and Testing | 机械性能与测试
Key mechanical properties include strength, hardness, toughness, ductility, elasticity, and stiffness. Strength is the ability to resist force without breaking; toughness is the ability to absorb energy without fracturing; hardness is resistance to indentation or scratching.
关键机械性能包括强度、硬度、韧性、延展性、弹性和刚度。强度是抵抗外力而不破坏的能力；韧性是吸收能量而不断裂的能力；硬度是抵抗压入或划伤的能力。
Tensile testing applies a pulling force to a sample and records stress against strain. The stress-strain graph shows elastic deformation, yield point, plastic deformation, and ultimate tensile strength.
拉伸试验对试样施加拉力并记录应力-应变关系。应力-应变曲线显示弹性变形、屈服点、塑性变形和极限抗拉强度。
σ = F ÷ A ε = ΔL ÷ L₀ E = σ ÷ ε
Stress is force divided by cross-sectional area, strain is extension divided by original length, and Young modulus is stress divided by strain in the elastic region. These equations allow engineers to predict how a material will behave under load.
应力等于力除以横截面积，应变等于伸长量除以原始长度，杨氏模量是弹性区内应力除以应变。这些方程可帮助工程师预测材料在载荷下的行为。
4. Forces and Structures | 力与结构
Structures must resist tension, compression, shear, torsion, and bending. Tension stretches, compression squeezes, shear acts across a surface, torsion twists, and bending combines tension and compression.
结构必须抵抗拉伸、压缩、剪切、扭转和弯曲。拉伸使其伸长，压缩使其缩短，剪切沿表面作用，扭转使其扭转变形，弯曲则同时包含拉伸和压缩。
A moment is the turning effect of a force, calculated by moment = force × perpendicular distance from the pivot. In equilibrium, the sum of clockwise moments equals the sum of anticlockwise moments.
力矩是力的转动效应，计算公式为力矩 = 力 × 到支点的垂直距离。在平衡状态下，顺时针力矩之和等于逆时针力矩之和。
M = F × d
Common structural forms include beams, frames, arches, and trusses. Triangles are often used in trusses because they are rigid and distribute forces efficiently without bending.
常见结构形式包括梁、框架、拱和桁架。三角形常用于桁架，因为三角形具有刚性并能有效传递力而不易弯曲。
Engineers also consider the centre of gravity and base support when designing stable structures. A low centre of gravity and wide base improve stability against tipping.

Permanent joining methods include welding, soldering, brazing, and adhesives; non-permanent methods include nuts and bolts, screws, and other threaded fasteners. The choice depends on strength, disassembly needs, and material compatibility.
永久连接方法包括焊接、软钎焊、硬钎焊和胶粘；非永久连接包括螺栓螺母、螺钉和其他螺纹紧固件。选择取决于强度、拆卸需求和材料相容性。
Additive manufacturing, such as 3D printing, builds parts layer by layer. It is useful for prototyping and complex shapes but may be slower and more expensive for mass production than injection moulding.
增材制造（如 3D 打印）逐层构建零件，适合原型制作和复杂形状，但大批量生产时通常比注塑成型慢且成本更高。
When planning manufacture, consider the order of operations, work holding, tooling, and safety. A sequence drawing or process plan helps avoid errors and waste.
规划制造时应考虑工序顺序、工件装夹、刀具和安全。工序图或工艺计划有助于避免错误和浪费。

Engineering drawings use standard conventions so that anyone can read them. Orthographic projection shows an object from front, side, and plan views using first or third angle projection.
工程图使用标准规范，使任何人都能读懂。正交投影用第一角或第三角投影法显示物体的前视图、侧视图和俯视图。
Isometric drawing is a 3D pictorial view with axes at 120°. It helps non-specialists visualise a design but distorts true circles and angles.
等轴测图是轴间角为 120° 的三维立体图，有助于非专业人员理解设计，但会使真实的圆和角度变形。
Dimensions must include overall sizes, hole diameters, radii, and tolerances. Scale, symbols, and title block information are essential for manufacturing.
尺寸标注必须包括总体尺寸、孔径、半径和公差。比例、符号和标题栏信息对制造至关重要。

8. Measurement and Quality Control | 测量与质量控制
Accuracy means how close a measurement is to the true value; precision means how repeatable measurements are. Good manufacturing requires both accuracy and precision within specified tolerances.
准确度指测量值接近真值的程度；精密度指测量值的可重复性。良好制造要求在指定公差内同时具备准确度和精密度。
Tolerance is the allowable variation in a dimension, such as 25 ± 0.1 mm. It ensures parts fit together and function correctly without unnecessary expense.
公差是尺寸允许的偏差范围，例如 25 ± 0.1 mm。公差可保证零件正确配合并正常工作，同时避免不必要的成本。
Inspection tools include rulers, vernier calipers, micrometers, and gauges. A micrometer can measure to 0.01 mm or better, far more accurately than a rule.
检测工具包括直尺、游标卡尺、千分尺和量规。千分尺可测量到 0.01 mm 或更小，远高于直尺的精度。
Quality control checks products during or after manufacture; quality assurance is the system of planned activities that prevents defects. Both reduce waste and protect the customer.
质量控制是在制造过程中或制造后检查产品；质量保证是通过有计划的活动预防缺陷的体系。两者都能减少浪费并保护消费者。
9. Energy and Power Systems | 能量与动力系统
Energy sources include fossil fuels, nuclear, and renewables such as wind, solar, hydro, and biomass. Engineers compare them by cost, availability, environmental impact, and power output.
能源包括化石燃料、核能以及风能、太阳能、水力和生物质等可再生能源。工程师从成本、可用性、环境影响和输出功率等方面进行比较。
Power is the rate of energy transfer. Mechanical power can also be calculated by P = F × v for a force moving at constant velocity.
功率是能量转移的速率。当力以恒定速度运动时，机械功率也可用 P = F × v 计算。
P = E ÷ t P = F × v Efficiency = useful output ÷ total input × 100%
Efficiency is useful output energy divided by total input energy, often expressed as a percentage. No real system is 100% efficient because of friction, heat, and sound losses.
效率等于有用输出能量除以总输入能量，通常用百分数表示。由于摩擦、热和声音损失，没有实际系统能达到 100% 效率。
Mechanical transmission systems include gears, belts, chains, and linkages. They can change speed, torque, direction, or motion type between an input and an output.
机械传动系统包括齿轮、皮带、链条和连杆机构。它们可以在输入端和输出端之间改变速度、扭矩、方向或运动类型。
10. Health, Safety and Sustainability | 健康、安全与可持续性
Risk assessment identifies hazards, evaluates who might be harmed, and introduces control measures. Common hazards include moving parts, electricity, sharp tools, heat, noise, and hazardous substances.
风险评估识别危险、评估可能受伤害的人员并采取控制措施。常见危险包括运动部件、电气、锋利工具、热、噪声和有害物质。
Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, gloves, ear defenders, and steel-toe boots reduces the risk of injury but does not eliminate hazards. Machine guards and safe procedures are more effective controls.
安全眼镜、手套、护耳器和钢头靴等个人防护装备可降低受伤风险，但不能消除危险。机器防护罩和安全操作规程是更有效的控制措施。
Sustainable engineering aims to reduce material and energy use, choose renewable or recycled materials, design for repair and disassembly, and consider the entire product life cycle from raw material to disposal.
可持续工程旨在减少材料和能源使用，选择可再生或回收材料，设计便于维修和拆卸的产品，并考虑从原材料到废弃的整个产品生命周期。
