This course covers a variety of areas such as computer-aided design, manufacturing processes, teamwork, and much more. As an engineering student, you will have access to a variety of equipment and technology as you develop your understanding and appreciation of engineering in the modern world. Engineering offers you a wide range of opportunities at post-18 with ex-students finding employment through apprenticeships and also degree-level apprenticeships in both the private and public sector, including Rolls Royce, MoD, and BMT and many students have gone direct to university. Subjects studied at University include Robotics, Aerospace engineering, product design, Maths, and many others. There will be a considerable amount of written work, calculations, and some practical tasks. Most assessments will take the form of a written report. A small amount of work will be practical, where you will gain skills and knowledge of basic making techniques. You will work as a team with classmates to batch-produce a product. You will develop strong CAD skills both 2D and 3D, so it will be important to have your laptop to work on this at home. As well as the subject content you will gain valuable organization skills and confidence, that can be used in any future workplace or area of study.
A minimum of 5GCSEs (or equivalent) ‘good’ passes or better including either GCSE Maths or English. 5 in at least one Science plus 5 in Maths.
Unit 1: Engineering Principles (Mandatory EXAM) Exam. Unit 2: Delivery of Engineering Processes Safely as a Team Coursework. Unit 3: Engineering Product Design and Manufacture (Mandatory EXAM) Exam. Unit 9: A work experience placement and report. Coursework.
