If you are interested in electronic and mechanical products and systems and you think you would like to go into a career related to design engineering this is the course for you. As well as learning the theory of the subject you will be able to complete a range of practical tasks in our well-equipped workshops using tools and machines which you have never been able to use before. Design Engineering is focused on engineered and electronic products and systems. You will learn how to analyze these concerning function, operation, components, and materials. We will look at their application and uses in engineered products/systems in industry and you will apply this knowledge to your practical work in the school workshops. Half of your assessment will come from a practical project where you create an engineered product or system of your design. A good student will need a good level of Maths and Physics knowledge as these are closely linked with Design Engineering. You will need to be interested in how products work and capable of learning how to use tools and machines to design, make, and test your products.
Grade 4 or above in D&T or Level 2 Pass or higher. 5 or more grades 5-9; including equivalents across at least 5 subjects. Maths and English Language Grade 4 or above. Average GCSE GRADE of at least 4.0 (average of ALL GCSE full courses taken).
