This course is the same size as one A Level (completing four units across two years) and therefore is equivalent to one of your A Level choices. You must study both years to achieve a qualification – you cannot drop this course at the end of the first year. This course is ideal for young people thinking about a career in the engineering sector; whether an apprenticeship and/or university. Over the two years the course develops a very broad variety of engineering skills and knowledge, involving Engineering Maths, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering principles, 2D & 3D Computer Aided Design (CAD), Product Design, knowledge and applications of engineering materials and processes, as well as developing practical and team working skills to create a batch of engineered products safely. You will learn how to transform problematic designs into successful engineering products.
A minimum of 4 subjects at grade 5 or above at GCSE plus English Language and Science at grade 4 or above. You should also have a grade 5 in Maths on the higher paper.
Year One Engineering Principles This unit is assessed at the end of Year One with an externally set exam. Computer-Aided Design in Engineering This unit is assessed by assignments. You will produce a portfolio of 2D and 3D drawings which will be useful for interviews for university or apprenticeships. Year Two Delivery of Engineering Processes Safely as a Team This unit is assessed by three assignments in the areas of CAD, Safe Engineering Processes & Human Factors, and a Manufacturing Team Activity. Engineering Product Design and Manufacture This unit is assessed by an externally set and controlled assessment where you will interpret an externally set brief to redesign a given a product.
