In addition, major changes were made to the media to improve instructional and visual design. | Jan-26 |
| Mechanical Systems | 440010 | Introduction to Mechanical Systems 101 | Introduction to Mechanical Systems 101 received major media updates and minor textual updates. Most visuals have been updated to better relate to concepts and improve overall quality. | Jan-26 |
| Hydraulics and Pneumatics | 480133 | Introduction to Pneumatic Components 231 | We have updated most visuals in the class to improve clarity and understanding. We have also refined some of the vocabulary definitions so that they more closely aligned to the topic of pneumatic components. | Jan-26 |
| Manual Machining | 280145 | Engine Lathe Operation 261 | This class has been updated to replace redundant lessons with new lessons on adjusting speed and feed and machine maintenance, which are essential to lathe operation. Other relevant content, including information on chip evacuation, grinding lathe tool bits, and dial indicators, has also been added. We updated the media to better illustrate concepts and to walk learners through the different methods of cutting on a lathe. | Jan-26 |
| Fasteners | 760010 | Introduction to Assembly 101 | Select media and explanations have been updated to improve design and clarity. Key vocabulary terms have been rewritten to focus more specifically on how these terms apply to assembly. Some text has been reworded to make the class easier to follow. | Feb-26 |
| Metal Cutting | 260251 | End Mill Selection 385 | NEW | Mar-26 |
| Energy Storage | 730155 | Battery Cell Manufacturing Safety 255 | NEW | Mar-26 |
| Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) | 720045 | Introduction to Human-Machine Interface (HMI) 145 | NEW | Mar-26 |
| Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) | 720020 | Introduction to the Industrial Internet of Things 111 | This class was updated and refocused to place stronger emphasis on connectivity, architecture, and AI enablement. The goal was to align the material with current industry trends while keeping all examples practical and applicable. The new content highlights how data flows through IIoT systems and how devices and networks stay connected. It also explains how intelligence is added through modern systems that use industrial networking, integrated sensors, and AI or machine learning applied to IIoT data streams. Additional material introduces the concept of Edge to Cloud Intelligence and explains how contemporary IIoT systems distribute AI capabilities across different layers, including TinyML, Edge AI, and cloud based orchestration. The class also now includes refreshed animations and updated illustrations. Finally, mentions of Time Sensitive Networking and IEC 62443 security have been added to expand coverage of important industrial communication and cybersecurity standards. | Apr-26 |
| Shop Essentials (Applied Mathematics) | 120065 | Geometry: Circles and Polygons 171 | This class has been updated to increase emphasis on practical applications of circles and polygons in manufacturing contexts to better demonstrate how geometric concepts apply to tasks such as interpreting prints, planning layouts, and ensuring part accuracy. We expanded the circles section to include central angles and more explicit angle-based calculations, and clarified relationships between tangents, angles, and circle properties. In the polygons portion, we added information about exterior angles and strengthened coverage of polygon classifications and calculation methods. We also introduced a new focus on solving integrated problems involving tangents, polygons, and angle relationships. Additionally, we reorganized the course to improve instructional flow, added a new introductory section on geometric shapes in manufacturing, and refreshed all media. | Apr-26 |
| Hydraulics and Pneumatics | 480130 | Introduction to Hydraulic Components 221 | This class was updated to improve reading comprehension and include more refined vocabulary definitions. Some media has also been replaced to better demonstrate the concepts in the accompanying lessons. | Apr-26 |
| Energy Storage | 730245 | Battery Cell Electrode Manufacturing 345 | This class was updated to include additional information about how air can contaminate electrode slurry during the mixing process. We also updated illustrations and animations to improve the clarity of some details shown during the coating, drying, and calendering processes. Lastly, we made minor edits to some lessons and vocabulary terms to improve clarity and added additional vocabulary terms to the class. | Apr-26 |
