This qualification is a new Pearson Level 3 Alternative Academic Qualification (AAQ).

You will study

Unit 1: Engineering Principles
Students will develop the skills and knowledge required to solve mechanical, electrical and electronic-based engineering problems by applying appropriate mathematical and physical science principles.

Unit 2: Engineering Applications
In this unit students will explore how advances in modern technology are reshaping how a wide range of engineering sectors function. They will also explore how engineers use their understanding of materials and processes to devise sustainable solutions to engineering problems.

Unit 3: Engineering Product Design and Manufacture
Students will create a design solution in response to an engineering design challenge by developing three-dimensional (3D) models and two-dimensional (2D) detailed drawings including the use of a computer-aided design (CAD) system and other modelling techniques.

Unit 4: Engineering Project
Students apply project management principles to undertake an individual project and will develop conceptual or practical solutions to a chosen engineering problem related to a relevant engineering specialist area.
