HNC in Mechanical Technology, Level 4

Continually assessed with internally set examinations and assignments. Validated by Aston University. What can I do next Direct entry to the third year of the BEng Mechanical Systems at Aston University Course Modules Further Mathematics for Engineering Technicians

A preparation mathematics module that is taught across all of our HNC programmes to provide a good base and preparation for the Analytical Methods module.



Analytical Methods

A mathematics module, taught across all HNC programmes, providing contextualised analysis of mathematics in engineering situations.



Engineering Science (Mechanical and Electrical)

A science module, taught across all HNC programmes, to provide a good general engineering science base for any engineering subject.



Advanced Computer Aided Design (CAD)

A design module taught using the 3D modelling software Solidworks.



Application of Pneumatics and Hydraulics

This module is taught using simulation software that explores pneumatic

and hydraulic circuits to industrial standards. The use of Programmable

Logic Controller (PLC) controls will also be investigated.



Materials Engineering

This module will provide an understanding of the properties,

selection, processing and failure of engineering materials.



Mechanical Principles

This module will develop the understanding of an extended range of mechanical

principles that underpin the design and operation of mechanical engineering systems.



Project Design, Implementation and Evaluation

Usually a work-based project to develop skills of independent enquiry demonstrating

project management skills relevant to the students own employment and ambitions. Apply Now Let's Talk Start Dates
