Engineering Studies

Course summary

The BTEC Level 3 in Engineering is a nationally recognised work-related qualification, which encompasses mechanical and electrical elements designed to give you a good start on your journey to a career in engineering. The course is based around examined units and internally assessed assignment lead units that are aligned to realistic vocational situations, activities and demands. The course will introduce you to and prepare you for the engineering workplace. This course provides a good basis to progress onto a higher qualification, such as a university, a Higher National Certificate (HNC) and Higher National Diploma (HND). Alternatively, it can help you progress to an apprenticeship in an engineering discipline. During this course you will study a variety of mandatory and optional Engineering units to develop knowledge, skills and behaviours of the engineering profession. Mandatory units: • Engineering Principles • Delivery of Engineering Processes Safely as a Team • Engineering Product Design and Manufacture • Applied Commercial and Quality Principles in Engineering • A Specialist Engineering Project • Microcontroller Systems for Engineers • Calculus to Solve Engineering Problems. Optional units could include: • Computer Aided Design in Engineering • Electronic Devices and Circuits • Electronic Measurement and Testing of Circuits • Static Mechanical Principles in Practice • Principles and Applications of Fluid Mechanics • Modern Manufacturing Systems • Manufacturing Secondary Machining Processes • Additive Manufacturing Processes
