A Level Engineering Exam Board: OCR Course name: Cambridge Technicals Level 3 Engineering Course leader: Mr Sharma Contact: SHV@moseley.bham.sch.uk General Information Welcome aspiring Engineers! This will be an exciting and challenging course giving you real breadth and depth of knowledge in Engineering to act as a springboard for the rest of your academic and professional careers. Look at the world around you; everything you come into contact with has been designed and developed by Product Designers and Design Engineers. From the clothes you choose to wear, the cars you use for transport, the buildings you live and work in, to the products that make your life easier and more enjoyable. Who is the course aimed at? Engineering at A Level will develop some of the skills most valued by employers and universities. Level 3 in Engineering will allow you to enter the world of work or University. Many engineers who gain this qualification go on to University and read for a BSc in Engineering. Aims of the course This course is designed to encourage candidates to: • Students explore the various engineering sectors, and the role of design in engineering • Students develop knowledge and understanding of the processes of engineering a product • Students pull together all they have learned and apply their knowledge by creating their own product • Apply essential knowledge understanding and skills of design production processes to a range of technological activities • Use ICT to enhance design and technological capability • Develop positive attitudes of co-operation and citizenship and work collaboratively. Programme of Study During the course, you will develop your knowledge and understanding of a wide range of materials and manufacturing processes. You will apply this knowledge to internally and externally assessed units of work and a range of practical projects. Course Outline There are a total of 23 units to select from of which 4 units are mandatory, these are (these units are externally assessed): • Mathematics For Engineering • Science for Engineering • Principals of Mechanical Engineering • Principals of Electrical and Electronic Engineering The optional units we will be studying are (these units are internally assessed): • Computer Aided Design (CAD) • Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM) Extra-curricular enrichment opportunities Regular support sessions will be available at lunchtimes, after school and break times throughout the course to help students with homework, projects and exam preparation.
GCSE 5 or above or Level 2 merit or equivalent in Engineering or Product Design.
