The course will comprise six taught units over the course of two years, with the teaching being split between the Design and Technology, Maths and Physics teams. The taught units are likely to be as follows: • Mathematics: o Unit 01 – Mathematics for Engineering • Physics: o Unit 02 – Science for Engineering o Unit 03 – Principles of Mechanical Engineering o Unit 04 – Principles of Electrical and Electronic Engineering • Design and Technology: o Unit 09 – Mechanical Design o Unit 13 – Mechanical Operations Units 01, 02, 03 and 04 are mandatory units to complete the qualification. Units 10 and 17 part of a suite of optional units that can be completed for the Design and Technology element of the course. The actual units delivered may differ and will be decided upon after collaboration with the learners.
Pupils embarking on this course will generally need to have achieved a grade 5 or higher in Maths and Physics at GCSE level (or equivalent) and would benefit from having achieved a similar grade in Design and Technology. However, having completed GCSE Design and Technology is not essential to embarking on this course. Maths and Physics Essential DT Desirable.
Units 01, 02, 03, and 04 (see above) are externally assessed by an OCR set and marked examination similar to the exams sat for most other subjects. Units 10 and 17 (see above) are internally assessed and then externally moderated by OCR. These units are similar to the Non-Examined Assessment (NEA) units in other subjects such as Design and Technology and Geography.
