The resistance of a resistor is indicated using a system of coloured bands on the component. This poster shows the colour code bands and the values that they represent. 4 and 5 band resistor colour code systems are both covered on this poster. Ohm's Law is also shown on this poster.

This poster contains a collection of commonly used electronic circuit symbols and their meanings. Circuit symbols may differ only slightly but their intended meanings can be very different. There are two standards of symbols that you may encounter, ANSI/IEEE and IEC - both variants have been shown so that you can see the differences. The symbols include Resitors, Capacitors, Diodes, Transistors, Switches, Output Devices, Logic Gates and Basic Circuit Symbols.

Hydraulic/Pneumatic poster with symbols for... * Basic components (Accumulators, reservoirs and filters) * Valves (Check Control, Gate, Flow Control, Adjustable Flow Control, Pressure Relief, Shuttle) * Cylinders (Single Acting, S/A - Return Spring, Double Acting, D/A - Adjustable Cushion and D/A - Double Ended) * Controls (Push Bitton, Lever, Foot Pedal, Solenoid, Pilot Operation) * Directional Control Valves (2 Port-2 Position, 3 Port-2 Position,4 Port-2 Position, 4 Port-3 Position) * Pumps/Motors/Instruments (Fixed Displacement , Flow Meter)

This poster will help students understand what the markings mean on car tyres. This poster could be used in motor vehicle studies classrooms or after school / after college car maintenance clubs.

This poster shows the main parts of the braking system used in a typical car. It shows the Master Cylinder, ABS Sensor, Vacuum Servo, Brake Pipes, Hand Brake and Disc Brake.

This new publication is designed to share experiences of delivering the Engineering Diploma together with some examples of best practice. The content of the magazine has been written by practitioners for practitioners. We hope you will find the articles of interest and perhaps, might be moved to contribute something to our Autumn edition. If you would like a free printed copy of the Engineering Diploma magazine, have any comments, or would like to submit an article for the next edition, please contact Kerry Woods, the Engineering Diploma magazine editor: editor@engineeringdiploma.net
