During the 2-year programme, students will develop the core knowledge and skills that are needed for entry to a range of design and development occupations for engineering and manufacturing. Career options might include: CAD TECHNICIAN 3D PRINTING TECHNICIAN Students can also use this T Level to progress to a related higher-level apprenticeship or course of study at a higher level. Students will develop an understanding of a broad range of issues relevant to the sector, including: Working within the Engineering and Manufacturing Sectors – an understanding of how materials, conditions and context influence design processes and products. Essential Mathematics for Engineering and Manufacturing – a knowledge and understanding of mathematics including standard matrices and determinants and standard trigonometry. Materials and their Properties – understanding material processing techniques and their effects on materials and material quality, the condition of materials, how these are managed, and materials testing methods and techniques. Business, Commercial and Financial Awareness - basic commercial principles including commercial priorities and markets, customers/clients/partners and resource allocation. In addition to the core content, each student will also complete at least one module of occupation-specific content. The specialisms available in the Design and Development for Engineering and Manufacturing T Level are: Mechanical Engineering Electrical and Electronic Engineering Control and Instrumentation Engineering Structural engineering
