Engineering
This course is suitable for anyone interested in manufacturing processes, learning how things work and some practical engineering skills.
You may be thinking about a career in one of the many branches of engineering such as mechanical, electronic, civil and design or you may be considering a manufacturing or industrial engineering career. A BTEC Extended Certificate is a vocational course that would normally be studied alongside a range of traditional A level programmes or BTEC Extended Certificates. Although not necessary, a GCSE qualification in Physics would be advantageous due to the demands in some units.
Most sessions will be taught in the Eastburn Building – our Engineering, Training and Skills Centre – which host CADCAM facilities and two superbly equipped engineering workshops. You will be expected to spend considerable time each week on private study to complete assignment based projects. As your group will consist of students who have undertaken a number of different courses at GCSE, the early part of this course will concentrate on building up your confidence with a wide range of materials and manufacturing processes, as well as your design communication skills through drawing, modelling and computer aided design (CAD).
