Science and mathematics – understand the scientific principles that underpin relevant technologies and use the main formulae associated with them.Engineering analysis – this involves the application of engineering concepts and tools to the solution of engineering and manufacturing problems.Design – learn about the development of economically viable products, processes or systems to meet a defined need.Economic, legal, social, ethical and environmental contexts – learn how engineering and manufacturing activities impact on the environment, commerce, society and on individuals. You will learn about being aware of these activities and understand the various legal and ethical constraints relevant to engineering and manufacturing.Engineering practice – learn about the practical application of engineering and manufacturing knowledge and skills.In Year 2 you will have the choice of which occupational specialism you study and these will be specialist units to develop specific knowledge and skills in either mechanical engineering or electrical and electronic engineering.
Core Component
