LAPtek – Systems Engineering 2026 to 2031 Units 1 & 2 (First Edition)Foundations in Electrotechnology and Mechanical DesignLAPtek provides a practical and engaging introduction to Systems Engineering for VCE Units 1 and 2, giving students the opportunity to explore and build both electrotechnological and mechanical systems in a structured learning environment.Unit 1: Electrotechnological Systems Design Students investigate the principles of electrical and electronic systems through hands-on projects involving components such as resistors, LEDs, sensors, and integrated circuits. LAPtek kits help students develop circuit design skills while introducing key concepts like current, voltage, and energy transformation.Unit 2: Mechanical Systems Design This unit focuses on the design, construction, and testing of mechanical systems. Students explore motion, force, energy, and mechanical advantage through projects involving gears, linkages, levers, and drive systems. LAPtek resources support students in applying theoretical knowledge to functional models and real-world mechanical solutions.Why Teachers Choose LAPtek Curriculum-Aligned – Fully mapped to the VCE Systems Engineering Study DesignUnit 1: Electrotechnology Focus – Explore real-world electrical systems using resistors, LEDs, capacitors, and ICsUnit 2: Mechanical Systems Focus – Teach mechanical principles using gears, pulleys, motors, and moreSupports Theory Practice – Students apply STEM and design theory through hands-on constructionIdeal for Project Work – Encourages experimentation, testing, and reflection Builds Foundational Skills – Prepares students for Units 3 & 4 and further STEM pathways Teacher Friendly – Saves planning time with structured, easy-to-implement resourcesOrganised for Efficiency – fit within standard classroom workflows and assessment plansClassroom-Ready Kits – Kits available from School Electronic Supplies.www.laptek.com.au SKU: SE26-31U1/2 Categories: LAPtek, Systems Engineering Tags: curriculum, Engineering, Systems, Workbook
