This qualification is designed for students aged 16-19 wishing to gain an understanding of the engineering sector and who wish to study Engineering alongside other A-Levels or vocational qualifications. This qualification could provide entry to employment through an apprenticeship in engineering (e.g. Advanced or Higher Apprenticeships) or could also lead directly to employment in areas of engineering such as mechanical engineering and design, electrical and electronic engineering, manufacturing, automation and systems and control.
Grade 5 or above in GCSE Mathematics.
Unit 1: Mathematics for engineering (External assessment) – This unit will develop your knowledge and understanding of the mathematical techniques commonly used to solve a range of engineering problems. Unit 2: Science for engineering (External assessment) – This unit will develop your knowledge and understanding of principles of engineering science and consider how these can be applied to a range of engineering situations. Unit 3: Principles of mechanical engineering (External assessment) – All machines and structures are constructed using the principles of mechanical engineering. Machines are made up of components and mechanisms working in combination. Engineers need to understand the principles that govern the behaviour of these components and mechanisms. Unit 4: Principles of electrical and electronic engineering (External assessment) – This unit will develop your knowledge and understanding of the fundamental principles that underpin electrical and electronic engineering. Unit 9: Mechanical design (Internal assessment) – The aim of this unit is for you to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to be successful in their design of mechanical engineering components and products. Unit 10: Computer-aided Design (Internal assessment) – The aim of this unit is for you to develop the ability to be able to create 3D models using CAD, and to go on to create 3D assemblies of components within a CAD system.
