Introduction 2 years full-time
The BTEC National Diploma in Engineering is a course designed for students considering a career in any branch of engineering. Some students who study this course may be looking to progress to university, possibly to study engineering or a related discipline; others may be aiming to follow a career as an Engineering Technician.
The course provides a vocational alternative to A Levels and will appeal to international and UK students looking for a course of study with an emphasis on the more practical aspects of the subject. You will study a total of eighteen units during the two years of the course and these will be assessed by coursework assignments and possibly occasional short tests, rather than examinations.

Course Units Year 1: You will cover a broad range of engineering topics to give a basis for specialisation in year 2. The units will run concurrently with the National Diploma in Electronic and Electrical Engineering.

· Mathematics
· Electronics
· Mechanical principles
· Electrical principles
· Business for technicians
· Communication for technicians
· Engineering drawing
· Electronic circuit manufacture
· Microprocessor systems

Year 2: You will study more specialised units depending on their chosen engineering subject. A project worth two units will be undertaken and will be expected to reflect the student's own areas of interest. Other units studied will include:

· Engineering Materials and Processes
· Engineering Design
· Analogue Electronics
· Digital Electronics
· Fabrication Processes
· Computer Aided Design

Assessment Assessment tasks may include the production of portfolios, presentations, practical projects, and staff observations. There will be a strong emphasis on the use of ICT as a learning tool. Your course will also include tutorial support, enrichment visits as appropriate, and the opportunity to re-sit GCSE English if needed.

Entry Requirements
You will need at least one of the following:

· A minimum of four GCSE passes at grade C or above to include Maths
