If you like finding solutions to technical challenges, engineering could be your future. Skilled engineers are in demand; so much so that there is a major drive, nationally and locally, to encourage young people into the profession.
This programme will give you a broad introduction to the Level 3 T Level in Engineering. Follow our engineering pathway and you will get an excellent grounding in mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering, which will enable you to choose the career that’s right for you.
As part of your studies, you will have the opportunity to take part in employer-led, work-based projects, based on real-life scenarios, providing invaluable experience to supplement your studies.
This programme will enable you to develop your knowledge of engineering materials, design and processes, graphical communication, including CAD and electrical principles.
What you'll learn
This programme has been designed and developed as a stepping-stone to what you will cover on the Level 3 T Level in Engineering. You will have the opportunity to learn through technical knowledge and industry-relevant practical skills that are dependent on the pathway and could include
- Principles of engineering
- Engineering workshop practice
- Working in Engineering
- Maintenance principles
- Engineered systems
- Carrying out planned maintenance
- Manufacturing principles
