Engineering is vital to everyday life; it shapes the world in which we live and its future. Engineers play key roles in meeting the needs of society in fields which include climate change, medicine, IT and transport. Our society needs more engineers, and more young people with an informed view of engineering. The Course provides a broad and challenging exploration of engineering. Because of its focus on developing transferable skills, it will be of value to many learners, and particularly beneficial to learners considering a career in engineering, or one of its many branches.
The aims of the Course are to enable learners to:
· extend and apply knowledge and understanding of key engineering concepts, principles and practice
· understand the relationships between engineering, mathematics and science
· apply analysis, design, construction and evaluation to a range of engineering problems with some complex features
· communicate engineering concepts clearly and concisely, using appropriate terminology
· develop a greater understanding of the role and impact of engineering in changing and influencing our environment and society
The course will be assessed through a combination of an assignment and a question paper.
