Overview

Would you like a career in a dynamic, growing industry that has many varied paths? This course gives you a broad foundation in many facets of engineering and is a mixture of theory and practical, covering a whole range of units that give you the knowledge and skills that will be useful in an engineering career. These include Computer Aided Design, electronics and machining. You will encounter a wide variety of learning opportunities using theoretical teaching and practical workshop sessions. Your lessons will take place in the Sonardyne Centre for Engineering and Design Technology.

Five GCSEs at grade 3 or above, including English, Mathematics and Science.

On this course you will study:

  • The Engineering world and gain information about an engineered product.
  • Various machines to manufacture parts. The department has the manufacturing resources that are the envy of all local schools and colleges
  • Engines and other vehicle systems
  • Welding techniques
  • The basics of electronics in engineering
  • Mathematics and science in an engineering environment
  • Ways to interpret engineering information, in order to plan work.

Lessons will incorporate theoretical content, however, there are a number of practical lessons within the course content.

The course will be assessed by written assignments, written exams and a project.

Upon successful completion of the Engineering course, work experience, project and achievement of grade 4 or above in English and Mathematics you would move on to an Engineering T level. Progression into Apprenticeships is also possible.

My experience at the college was enjoyable and productive, with thoroughly helpful people surrounding you, an excellent experience. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was, with the work shop time and experience I had, it was a great two years preparing me for the next stage.

I’m very, very happy, I didn’t expect to do so well. The College has been helpful and supportive. I loved my courses, and the teachers were really good – every single one of them. The facilities are great, but it’s the staff that really make this place.

Matthew Randell, A Level student

My experience at the college has been really good, it’s been really rewarding, all the lecturers were so lovely and supportive there’s no way I could have done it without them - the teaching has been outstanding.
