This course is a triple award qualification, equivalent to 3 'A' Levels. A wide range of topics are covered including Health & Safety, Electronics, CAD, Maths and Science for Engineers, Workshop skills and commercial manufacturing techniques. A range of visits to employers and universities compliment the work covered in school. Basic engineering skills are developed using both traditional workshop skills and more advanced manufacturing techniques. Health & Safety is a big focus in all units, not only when students are working, but also the commercial implications to companies of Health & Safety Law. Students maths and science understanding is also developed during the first year looking at the mathematical and scientific principles which underpin Engineering.
These subjects require a minimum of minimum of 5 GCSEs at grades 4-9, preferably including a grade 4/5/6 in English and Maths.
HOW WILL I BE ASSESSED? A variety of assessment tasks are undertaken. Some are practical assessments, some involve written documentation of skills gained, and some are research-based tasks. Students sit exams in Unit 1 (Maths, Physics and Electronics), Unit 3 (Engineering Design) and Unit 6 (Microcontrollers). Unit 1 and 3 are sat in Year 12, and Unit 6 in January of Year 13. One assessment is in the form of a formal written exam; the others are a practical assessment and is completed over a number of lessons. You will be set a problem by the Exam board, and have to design and manufacture a working solution.
