UndergraduateCourse summary
Higher National Engineering awards are designed to provide students with engineering knowledge and understanding appropriate to their engineering interests, employment and vocational needs. The Higher National Engineering awards are designed to provide each student with engineering knowledge and understanding appropriate to their engineering interests, employment and vocational needs. The Higher National Certificate is a part-time course that progresses students who have achieved Level 3 qualifications to develop their personal effectiveness and employability, in particular their ability to learn, to communicate, to work with others and to solve engineering problems. It is possible to study this course as an apprentice. If you already work for an employer who wants to sponsor your apprenticeship, then you need to ask them to call our Employer Services Team on 0300 456 0046 or email [email protected] to ensure that the relevant paperwork is completed.
Modules
To achieve the new Higher National Certificate (RQF) you will be required to complete a selection of modules which amount to 120 credits. There are both core and specialist units on this course: Core units: Engineering Design Engineering Maths Engineering Science Pearson Set Project Specialist units: Engineering Management Production Engineering for Manufacture Quality and Process Improvement CAD and CAM Specialist units for each cohort may vary in accordance with employer/Managing Agents requirements and will be determined prior to the course commencing.
Assessment method
A wide range of assessment methods and equipment appropriate to the learning outcomes and assessment criteria will be used, and will consider the practices used within the engineering sector. Whilst credit is awarded at a threshold level of achievement only, grading arrangements will apply to individual units which will allow for the reward of merit and distinction achievement according to Edexcel's published grading domains and criteria. Provision will be made for all engineering Higher National students to be eligible for grades beyond a pass level. Assessment is considered an important part of the learning process. In designing the forms of assessment for this award, care has been taken to ensure that all assessments test the skills and knowledge needed in the Engineering working environment. Formative and summative assessment methods are diverse and include problem based assignments, work-based projects requiring oral and written reports, individual exercises experimental work, work-based assignments and phased tests.
