Engineering Studies

Course summary

This two-year course provides a valuable insight into engineering for students intending to pursue a wide range of careers within the technology and engineering disciplines. This qualification is a long standing route into employment within either the electrical or mechanical industries as a technician and it also qualifies you for progression to higher education – either HNC, HND or university. You will design, make and test engineering products as well as explore the theory behind a variety of engineering disciplines. You will examine existing engineering products and investigate the role of the engineer in their design, manufacture and function. You will also study the science and maths which underpin engineering. Welding and fabrication units are also studied to develop practical workshop skills more fully as well as enrichment activities in machining. We have excellent engineering resources to accommodate all the practical aspects of the course and you will also have the opportunity to be trained in industry. You will also have opportunities for residential visits and trips to engineering related organisations.
