consists of 3 units:
Unit 1 Manufacturing engineering products Internal 40%
Unit 2 Designing engineering products Internal 20%
Unit 3 Solving engineering problems External 40%
All Units are compulsory.
UNIT 1 (MANUFACTURING ENGINEERING PRODUCTS)
Unit 1 provides learners with the opportunity to interpret different types of engineering information in order to plan how to produce engineering products. Learners will develop knowledge, understanding and skills in using a range of engineering tools and equipment in order to produce and test an end product.
UNIT 2 (DESIGNING ENGINEERING PRODUCTS)
Unit 2 allows learners to explore how an engineered product is adapted and improved over time, and it offers learners the opportunity to apply their knowledge and understanding to adapt an existing component, element or part of the engineering outcome that they produced for Unit 1.
UNIT 3 (SOLVING ENGINEERING PROBLEMS)
Unit 3 introduces learners to a range of considerations that impact on engineering design and how modern engineering has had an impact on modern day life at home, work and in society in general.
