The OCR Level 3 Cambridge Advanced National in Engineering (Certificate). It will develop knowledge, understanding and skills that will help prepare you for progression to undergraduate study and are relevant to the engineering sector. You might be interested in this qualification if you want to apply what you learn to practical, real-life contexts, such as: • Carrying out a product analysis by completing a mechanical inspection. • Producing two-dimensional (2D) Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawings. • Manufacturing a prototype electronic circuit. The qualification will also help you develop independence and confidence in using skills that are relevant to the sector and that prepare you for progressing to university courses where independent study skills are needed. You will develop the following transferable skills that can be used in both higher education and other life and work situations: • Safe working practices. Safety always comes first in engineering. Working safely requires good planning skills and the ability to manage both resources and time effectively. • Communicating effectively with individuals or groups. Communication is important for engineers to ensure that ideas and solutions can be shared and understood by others. Using thinking and problem-solving skills in order to identify solutions and improvements. • Project-based skills. Engineers often work as part of a wider team to ensure that projects are completed. This qualification will complement other learning that you’re completing at Key Stage 5. What you will study when you take this qualification Through a combination of theoretical study and hands-on experience, you will develop the necessary knowledge and skills that can support progression to higher education engineering study. In the examined units, you will study key knowledge and understanding relevant to engineering. In the non examined assessment (NEA) unit, you will demonstrate knowledge and skills you learn by completing a practical assignment. More information about the knowledge and skills you will develop is opposite.
