CES-7200's instructor-developed curriculum is flexible and features 25 to 30 hours of instruction in pneumatic components, applications and principles. The modular format allows self-teach/self-paced or group instruction.

The Physical Properties section combines science and technology as in programs like the Principles of Technology. Each lesson requires students to conduct an experiment in pneumatic technology using one or more of the 22 industrial-grade pneumatic components, including different types of valves, cylinders and measuring instruments. In the Application Laboratories section of the manual, students use the components to emulate industrial applications.

A complete power supply with compressor, together with a work surface and the components conveniently stored on a panel, provide everything included to understand this fluid power technology. The compressor is limited to 60 PSI for classroom safety.

The Principles of Pneumatics learning system is one building block in the Fundamentals of Technology System.
