Engineering Station
Build engineering diagrams from element libraries — mechanics, circuits, structures, and more — with live bound controls and SVG output for the board and for questions.
AI can draft. You decide what the class sees.
What Engineering is
Engineering is a scene-composer Station for applied diagrams. Build from semantic element libraries — blocks, beams, symbols, gears, and more — connect them with anchors, bind sliders to properties, and export SVG for the board or for questions.
That matters because engineering teaching often needs assemblies, not only abstract sketches. Show how parts relate, then change a load or parameter without redrawing the whole scene.
Why teachers use Engineering
Mechanics scenes
Statics, dynamics, and mechanisms that look like the lab-bench conversation.
Structures and civil views
Trusses and related diagrams for load paths learners can discuss.
Electrical and electronic
Power, machines, schematics, digital, signals, and PCB-oriented views.
Aero, auto, and robotics
Domain starters that keep applied STEM teaching inside one Station family.
On TeachForge, Engineering is a Workshop Station — compose the scene, then take it live without leaving the platform.
Inside the Engineering Station
Like the rest of the Workshop, Engineering keeps composition and preview together — with a palette-first workflow.
- Seven discipline tabs with focused sub-modes
- Element palette with grid, snap, and attach-to anchors
- Slider binding so element properties update live while you teach
- Preset scenes such as block on slope, beam with UDL, op-amp, and truss
- Advanced JSON Apply / Sync for full scene control
- Export SVG / PNG / JSON, share, embed, and Whiteboard send
How elements become a scene
Pick a discipline, load a preset, or place palette elements
Assemble the teaching scene from semantic parts.
Position, attach, and bind sliders
Or edit Advanced JSON — the SVG scene updates live.
Export, save, or send it live
Take it to the board, into a question, or out as a file you own.
One scene. Every version of it.
Engineering supports parametric packages and live bound sliders on element properties — so the same assembly can reopen with a new load, dimension, or teaching focus without rebuilding every part.
Change it while you teach
Drag a bound slider and watch the diagram answer.
Keep the assembly, vary the values
Tomorrow’s class can meet the same scene with harder numbers.
Stepwise build
Add parts as the explanation unfolds instead of revealing everything at once.
Stay close to assessment
Save scene JSON and reuse it inside questions and labs.
Prefer starting from a finished preset? Load it, then edit every property. The palette is there when the lesson needs a custom assembly.
Ready-made engineering scenes to start from
Open a discipline path or preset, then adapt it:
| Area | What you can open |
|---|---|
| Mechanical | Statics; Dynamics; Mechanisms; Fluids; Thermo; Materials |
| Civil | Structures; Geotech; Hydrology; Surveying |
| Electrical & electronic | Power grids; Machines; Transformers; Schematics; Digital; Signals; PCB |
| Aero, auto, robotics | Aerodynamics; Propulsion; Powertrain; EV; Kinematics; Sensors; Controls |
AI help, your way
Need a first draft? Use AI as an assistant — then review, edit, and approve before anything reaches learners.
Copy the prompt
Generate a ready-made prompt and paste it into the chat tool you already use.
Use your own GPU
Connect a local model endpoint in your settings and run generation on hardware you control.
Use your own API key
Add your provider key in settings, choose the model, and generate with your own account.
AI can be wrong. That is exactly why a teacher stays in the loop.
Take the scene where teaching happens
- Whiteboard — put it on the live board and adjust it in front of the class
- Quest Ladder — drop it into questions and explanations
- Virtual Lab — reuse it inside interactive lab work
- Community — share what you built, and build on what other educators shared
