Course Description
This course will cover a broad spectrum of engineering knowledge and combines it with a practical focus on the design and manufacture of engineered products.
Engineering manufacture is a discipline of engineering dealing with different manufacturing practices and processes using machines, tools and equipment that turn raw materials to new products.
You will be assessed through a combination of written exam for unit 1(R109) and internally assessed assignments for the three remaining units.
Career Pathways
L2 Engineering leads to Level 3 Engineering and can also lead to apprenticeships and direct employment.
It may also lead you to A Level engineering or Product Design.
Job Opportunities
You could work in a wide and exciting range of industries: you could work in the water industry, you could work in building services, you could choose a career as a materials engineer or a manufacturing engineer.
This could lead to: biomedical engineering, making prosthetic limbs, Formula 1, making parts for and building racing cars. You could end up developing and making parts for technologies that don’t even exist yet!
