Engineering with Foundation Year (Electrical and Electronic Engineering)
South and City College Birmingham
Engineering with Foundation Year (Electrical and Electronic Engineering)
Course Summary
The course is designed for applicants who are new to engineering, or have studied for a practical level 3 subject. The first year is taught at level 3 in preparation for studies in year 2 at level 4 and the Higher National Certificate. Students will also have the opportunity to experience other types of engineering such as mechanical and manufacturing during the foundation year before specialisation at level 4.
The course focusses on developing the core engineering skills required by industry, along with those specific skills for electrical and electronic engineering.
In addition to the engineering knowledge you’ll gain and skills you’ll hone, the course will develop students as professional, self-reflecting individuals who are able to meet the demands of employers in the rapidly evolving engineering sector adapting to a constantly changing world.
Holders of a BTEC Higher National in Engineering meet the academic requirements for the Engineering Council Engineering Technician Standard (EngTech).
