About the course
Engineering design and draughtspersons produce designs and drawings for structures, piping, electrical systems, control and instrumentation systems and mechanical components used in industrial and commercial construction. Typically, jobholders work in a wide range of industries of national importance including power and water infrastructure, petrochemical, oil and gas, nuclear, food and drink processing.
Jobholders are based at office locations within project design teams and occasionally work at on-site locations. They are required to understand on-site hazards and health and safety requirements.
The jobholder must:
understand technical drawings and specifications and be able to create their own
identify factors likely to affect design decisions; produce CAD (computer aided design) models and engineering drawings
be able to communicate design information to internal and external parties.

Course programme
What you'll learn
On this course, you will learn to:
• review and interpret technical information and requirements from different sources e.g. specifications, concepts, stakeholders
• identify inaccuracies or discrepancies in engineering drawings and specifications and propose solutions
• identify and assess factors that affect designs e.g. materials, application, location, risk and environment
• design engineering concepts to solve engineering challenges
• develop effective solutions which satisfy the required standards and can be manufactured, proven, operated and maintained in a cost-effective way whilst minimising costs
• evaluate engineering designs to determine the most effective solution
• Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, its appropriate application including 2D and 3D modelling
• understand the impact of relevant factors that are important to the design e.g. the context in which you are working, the materials, components, assemblies, cost, quality, safety, security, risk, environmental impact, ergonomics, aesthetics, the end use and purpose of the design
• comply with health and safety requirements and company policies and procedures at all times
