How parts are actually made. Metal 3D printing, CNC, injection molding, casting — the tolerances you can really hold and the defects that show up in production.

One engineering concept per video, at the depth the job actually needs. Every page follows the same five steps and is built to still be right in five years.

Industrial IoT Sensors 101: How Factories Monitor Equipment
A cooling water pump runs for years, then its bearing seizes and the line stops, though the warning was there for weeks. What a factory actually measures on a machine, how each sensor works, where to mount it and how fast to read it, how the signal reaches a controller, and how to rank what the system raises: warning, alarm, trip.

Why things break and how to catch it on paper first. FMEA, root cause, fatigue, Weibull, SPC, inspection.
How a design gets from sketch to production line in one piece. DFM, GD&T, tolerance stack-up, design reviews, industrialization.
How a factory knows what is happening on its own floor. Sensors, PLCs, SCADA, machine vision, predictive maintenance.
The things that don't change. Stress and strain, material selection, process capability, bearings, bolted joints.
What is happening under the hood when you hit simulate. CAD, FEA, PLM, CAM, and where the model stops matching the part.
