Engineering Studies

Assessment

The programme consists of a technical qualification including core content and occupational specialisms, alongside an industry placement within the pathway specialism. The core content focuses on knowledge and understanding of engineering contexts, concepts, theories, principles, and core skills relevant to the engineering industry. You will cover the following units within your first year: Unit 1: Working within the engineering and manufacturing sectors Unit 2: Engineering and manufacturing past, present, and future Unit 3: Engineering representations Unit 4: Essential mathematics for engineering and manufacturing Unit 5: Essential science for engineering and manufacturing Unit 6: Materials and their properties Unit 7: Mechanical principles Unit 8: Electrical and electronic principles Unit 9: Mechatronics Unit 10: Engineering and manufacturing control systems Unit 11: Quality management Unit 12: Health and safety principles and coverage Unit 13: Business, commercial and financial awareness Unit 14: Professional responsibilities, attitudes, and behaviours Unit 15: Stock and asset management Unit 16: Continuous improvement Unit 17: Project and programme management These units will support your theoretical knowledge behind engineering to understand the duties and compliances required by engineers. The industry experience will allow you to reflect upon the importance of theoretical knowledge delivered within your first year and gain further skills within your specialist area. This will allow you to network with potential employers, provide you with work experience of at least 45 days, prepare your CV, preparation for interviews, increasing confidence, and potentially secure you a job once completed with T-level. Further on your this programme you will be undertaking specialist units that are relevant to your specialism. This will be assessed throughout the year by multiple assignments to allow you to demonstrate competence with your specialism. The City and Guild T Level in Engineering and Manufactured is assessed through two externally set and marked examinations and a substantial practical employer-set project. The occupational specialism is assessed through practical assessments which are relevant to the specialism.
