Course summary

The course is designed for applicants who are new to engineering, or have studied for a practical level 3 subject and wish to gain a HNC level 4 qualification. The course focusses on developing the core engineering skills required by industry, along with those specific skills for mechanical 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).

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, Mechanical Principles, Fundamentals of Thermodynamics and Heat Engines, Mechanical Workshop Practices,

Assessment method

The course is continuously assessed through a number of assignments set within the individual units. The assessment methods are wide and varied. You could find yourself writing a technical report, delivering a presentation, planning, producing and evaluating a practical design or producing an artefact. The assessment methods are chosen with a view to developing the skills demanded of industry.
