Engineering has a hand in designing nearly everything you come into contact with within your daily lives, such as: homes, cars, computers, mobile phones and game consoles. This course will allow you to develop an understanding of engineering disciplines and prepares you for working in this exciting industry. Your lessons will take place in the Sonardyne Centre, our superbly-equipped engineering building. You will spend time in both the classroom, learning basic principles and theory, and in the engineering workshop, where you will learn a range of practical engineering processes and skills. You will also spend a minimum of 45 days on an industrial placement where you will work closely with a leading employer either every week or on a block placement to help you develop the right knowledge, technical skills and behaviours for working in this exciting sector. This course ensures you can rival all students with a unique blend of both academic and industry experience. The work placement will provide you will real-world skills required for future employment.
Five GCSEs at grade 4 or above, including English, and at least a grade 5 in Mathematics and Science.
This Engineering, Manufacturing and Design T Level includes the following core units:• Science and mathematics – understand the scientific principles that underpin relevant technologies and use the main formulae associated with them • Engineering analysis – this involves the application of engineering concepts and tools to the solution of engineering and manufacturing problems • Design – this is the development of an economically viable product, process or system to meet a defined need • Economic, legal, social, ethical and environmental context – engineering and manufacturing activities impact on the environment, commerce, society and individuals; you will therefore need to be aware of these activities and to understand their impacts and the various legal and ethical constraints relevant to engineering and manufacturing • Engineering practice – the practical application of engineering and manufacturing knowledge and skills • Additional general skills – you should have developed additional basic transferable skills that will be of value in a wide range of situations. In Year 2 you will study the Occupational Specialism of Mechanical Engineering.
You will be taught on campus with a full time 5 days a week programme of lessons in our engineering workshops. We provide the specialist knowledge and industry expertise to prepare you for employmentwith some of the best engineering companies and employers. You will also work with one of our partner employers, each one leaders in their field, who will help you apply the theory and skills learnt in college to real industry applications.
You will be assessed through an exam, industrial placement, work-based project and synoptic assessment.
On completion of the Engineering, Manufacturing and Design T Level, you could secure jobs such as mechanical design engineer, materials engineer, manufacturing design engineer and electrical/electronic design engineer.
