You will study the following four units across the two-year programme:

Year 1

Engineering Principles
You will develop the mathematical and scientific knowledge required to solve mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering problems. Topics include algebra, trigonometry, calculus, fluid mechanics, and circuit theory. This unit is externally assessed through a written exam.

Engineering Applications
This unit explores how modern technologies are reshaping engineering sectors. You will study materials, manufacturing processes, and sustainability, and learn how to evaluate and select appropriate solutions. This unit is also externally assessed.

Year 2

Engineering Design
You will respond to an engineering design challenge by developing 3D models and 2D drawings using CAD software. You’ll learn how to interpret briefs, select materials and processes, and present your design solutions. This unit is internally assessed through a Pearson Set Assignment Brief.

Engineering Project
You will undertake an individual engineering project, applying project management principles to develop a conceptual or practical solution. You’ll research, plan, design, and present your solution in a technical portfolio. This unit is also internally assessed.

Engineering is a highly respected and versatile qualification that opens doors to a wide range of university courses and careers. Students often progress to degrees in Mechanical, Civil, Electrical/Electronic or General Engineering, as well as Foundation Degrees and HNCs. Career paths include product design, manufacturing, aerospace, automotive, robotics, and renewable energy.
