PE 1 KNOWLEDGE AND SKILL BASE
PE1.1 Systematic, theory
based understanding of
the underpinning natural
and physical sciences and
the engineering
fundamentals applicable
to the technology domain.
1. The project has a complete
dependency upon designing a
forklift that will primarily be
controlled with the use of a
remote control working with
the use of remote technology.
2. The project will design as
well as develop a cleaning
machine with the use of
wheels, shafts and gears along
with other equipment that will
manually without requiring any

form of fuels.
3. The project is about
designing an automatic brake
failure indicator that will work
with a brake switch placed
upon the hydraulic brake
system monitoring over the
condition of the brake.
PE1.2 Conceptual
understanding of the
mathematics, numerical
analysis, statistics, and
computer and
information sciences
which underpin the
technology.
1. This system has been
designed with the help of
various hardware modules and
IC chips for controlling the
forklift with a remote
technology. The IC chips have
been chosen depending upon
the functionality and the one
performing the best.
2. Within this project I have
used various forms of
mechanical components such
as wheels and gears to design
the entire system. The

CE 2.3.3 and CE 2.3.4

components have been
attached in a way that will
allow the user to put the
minimum effort for a
maximum output of the
machine.
3. I have calculated the Voltage
regulations and the various
changes in fluid pressure for
the system to work properly.
The fluid pressure will
primarily indicate the condition
of the brake if the condition is
not proper and there is a
possibility for failure.

PE1.3 In-depth
understanding of
specialist bodies of
knowledge within the
technology domain.
1. In this project, I have
specifically applied the
knowledge that I have gathered
within the field of
mechatronics for building the
forklift as well as establishing
the radio connection.

2. I have utilized various
components such as a pair of
wheels, a shaft and a set of
gears to move the cleaning
machine.
3. I have utilized a brake
switch with two LEDs and a
piezo buzzer for indication.

PE1.4 Discernment of
knowledge development
within the technology
domain
1. I have built the entire system
with the use of two
microcontroller chips where
one each has been placed on
the forklift and the remote to
establish a wireless connection
for controlling operations.
2. I had designed the entire
system and decided the number
of mechanical components
needed to build the system.
3. I had decided the number of
components that have been
integrated into the circuit such
