Welcome aspiring Engineers! This will be an exciting and challenging course giving you real breadth and depth of knowledge in Engineering to act as a springboard for the rest of your academic and professional careers. It is at A Level standard and will give you UCAS points in just the same way. This is a very brief overview of the units you would be studying. For the full detail about each unit, search the internet for 178280-level-3-units. (Be aware that there are 23 possible units. You will only be studying the six mentioned below!) Units which will be studied in Year 12: Unit 1: Mathematics for Engineering (external assessment) - This unit will develop learners’ knowledge and understanding of the mathematical techniques commonly used to solve a range of engineering problems. Unit 2: Science for Engineering (external assessment) - In this unit we focus on the science which supports mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, fluid dynamics, thermal physics and material science for engineering. Unit 10: Computer Aided Design (CAD) (internal assessment) - In this unit students will learn how to use the SolidWorks CAD package and will develop the ability to be able to create 3D models and assemblies of components. They will also examine the techniques required to produce their own 2D CAD engineering drawings to appropriate standards, and will deepen their knowledge and understanding of the use of simulation tools within commercial CAD systems. Units which will be studied in Year 13: Unit 3: Principles of Mechanical Engineering (external assessment). All machines and structures are constructed using the principles of mechanical engineering. Engineers need to understand the principles that govern the behaviour of these components and mechanisms. This unit explores these principles and how they are applied. Unit 4: Principles of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (external assessment) Electrical systems and electronic devices are present in almost every aspect of modern life – and it is electrical and electronic engineers who design, test and producea these systems and devices. Unit 9: Mechanical Design (internal assessment) The successful manufacture of mechanical components and products depends on well planned, accurate and complete design solutions. Learners will develop knowledge and understanding of engineering drawings, both freehand graphical techniques, and more formal drawing methods. Learners will be able to produce a design which can successfully be manufactured, and finally learn how to optimise a design to improve performance.
• To enter Sixth Form you require 5 GCSE’s Grade 4 and above, including English or Maths. • For students who typically attain 9-5 grades at GCSE. • Grade 6 in Maths and Physics/Grade 6-6 in CombinedScience.
