Experimental Equipment for Teaching Fundamentals of Mechanical Engineering
The engineering science range is a modular system of experimental kits that address the fundamental principles of mechanical engineering including forces and moments; materials testing; vibration, friction and energy; simple machines; and mechanisms. The high quality, robust 'kits' are suitable for teaching STEM principles at a beginner level, while remaining relevant for familiarisation at a post-graduate level. All the hardware required to do experiments related to a particular topic are contained within a kit. These are presented in a storage tray with a purpose-made insert and checklist to ensure all of the parts are returned at the end of the lab session.
Kits can be purchased in any combination, from multiple kits for a whole class to perform the same experiment or a selection of individual kits for demonstrating a variety of different experiments. TecQuipment also sell purpose-built storage trolleys for keeping the kits tidy while protecting them from damage when not in use.
Teaching Equipment for the Understanding of Engines
The engines range offers teaching equipment for a wide variety of engine specific theory covering internal combustion engines starting with simple four-stroke engines, through to gas turbines/turbojets, along with steam engines.
The range meets entry-level requirements for the general teaching of mechanical engineering through to addressing the more advanced theories required for final-year students enabling them to meet the learning objectives required for specific industries such as aerospace, automotive and power.
Domestic and Industrial Environmental Control Teaching Equipment
The environmental control range offers teaching equipment covering the fundamental theories associated with thermodynamics, fluid mechanics and heat transfer. This enables students to understand environmental control in the real industrial and consumer world.
