BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in Engineering

Course summary

Throughout the engineering course, you will undertake a work placement, enabling you to use your knowledge and skills in practice in a real engineering context. It also enables you to bring your work placement experience back to the classroom and to enhance your understanding of the different disciplines and the variety of work engineers undertake. You will be using Computer Aided Design (CAD) systems to design stimulating products, and standard computer packages to produce illustrated reports. You will study engineering product design and manufacture, microcontroller systems for engineers, calculus to solve engineering problems and engineering principles. Optional units include mechanical behaviour of non-metallic materials, welding technology, electrical installation of hardware and cables, Computer Aided Design and electrical power distribution and transmission.
