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 electrical, electronic and mechanical during the foundation year before specialisation at level 4. The course focusses on developing the core engineering skills required by industry, along with those skills for general engineering. Students may develop an interest in other engineering subjects and there is an opportunity to in year 2 or continue with a general engineering programme. 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).

Course Details - Modules

Year 1 (Level 3/4) General Engineering Principles: regardless of your chosen specialism, an understanding of the fundamental principles which underlie modern Engineering will stand you in good stead for your future career, including the study of mathematics. Engineering Science: scientific theory to design, develop or maintain structures, machines, systems, and processes Engineering Design Project: turns an idea into a useful artefact, the problem into a solution, or something ugly and inefficient into an elegant, desirable and cost-effective everyday object. Computer Aided Design (CAD) for Engineering: CAD is the use of computer technology in engineering industries, enabling the exploration of design ideas, the visualising of concepts and to simulate how a design will look and perform in the real world prior to production. Study Skills: developing academic skills throughout the programme in readiness for higher academic achievement. Year 2 Engineering Design, Engineering Maths, Engineering Science, Managing a Professional Engineering Project, Machining and Processing of Engineering Materials, Mechanical Workshop Practices, Engineering Management,
