Course summary
Our manufacturing engineering HNC introduces a range of engineering fundamentals and business concepts, equipping student to improve existing manufacturing processes. You will be exposed to management training and how to apply it to the production environment to become a multifaceted production manager. . As you progress through our modules, you will develop an understanding of engineering in different contexts, and learn about production engineering for manufacturing, as well as how to undertake quality and process improvement. Students will broaden their understanding of design, maths and product design, learning how these are applied in practice. Examination of historical, theoretical and ethical positions in response to engineering design, will develop your knowledge of manufacturing engineering. This is also achieved by considering the relationship between traditional skills and developing technologies and being aware of the creative process of engineering design. A Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Manufacturing Engineering opens a wide array of rewarding career options in various sectors. Graduates of this program are equipped with a strong foundation in manufacturing engineering principles and practical skills. On successful completion you may progress with us to a HND at Level 5. These qualifications equip you for entry to careers such as: Product Development Engineer Manufacturing Engineer Production Supervisor or Manager can progress on to : BEng (Hons) Manufacturing Engineering) BEng (Hons) Systems Engineering BEng (Hons) Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering BSc (Hons) Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering Each unit is worth 15 credits and over the course of the programme you will gain 120 credits. 12 hours for full-time course.one year full-time with the equivalent of two full day attendance per week.

Modules
At Level 4 you will study the following units: Engineering Design, Engineering Maths, Managing a Professional Engineering Project, Production Engineering for Manufacture, Quality and Process Improvement, Computer Aided Design and Manufacture (CAD/CAM), Industry 4.0, Industrial Robots.
Assessment method
Coursework and Assignments: You will be given specific projects or tasks related to coursework, and you will be evaluated on your ability to apply theoretical knowledge to practical problems. Practical Work: Practical laboratory sessions are a crucial part of an electrical engineering program. Students may be assessed on their ability to conduct experiments, analyse data, and draw conclusions from their findings. Reports and Technical Writing: You may be required to write technical reports based on laboratory work or projects, which will assess your ability to communicate technical information effectively. Presentations: Students may be asked to give presentations on engineering topics, projects, or case studies. Extensive use is made of computer modelling and simulation techniques and an emphasis is put on practical applications throughout.
