Engineering
Course summary
Engineering at Nailsea is a dynamic, exciting subject that offers clear routes forward to further study and a career in the engineering sector. The course is divided into three clear competencies. Firstly, you’ll develop your mathematical and physical scientific knowledge and understanding by studying Engineering Principles. This creates a clear foundation, enabling you to solve complex problems in an engineering context. The second key module is focused on common engineering processes, looking at regulatory systems, health and safety and how individual and team performance can be affected by human factors. In module 3 you will get to examine product designs and manufacturing processes in detail. This fascinating unit will provide real-world opportunities to examine what triggers changes to the design phase of engineering products and the typical challenges that engineers face, including how to ‘design out’ safety risks. Lastly, there is a detailed CAD Engineering module. You will use CAD software and hardware to produce multi-layered, complex 2D and 3D drawings.
