Unit Overview
What time is it? Time is always marching forward, but it can be difficult or impossible to keep track of it without engineered technologies such as clocks and timers. Use your mechanical engineering skills to design your own timekeeping technology.
Watch this Engineering Everywhere Special Report!
Visit a clock factory to see how engineers are creating timekeeping technologies that are designed to be visible and accurate.
