Description:
Our Engineering Higher Education provision is concerned with the design, development, installation, operation and maintenance of just about everything that has moveable parts.
As a result, there are job opportunities for engineers in all fields of work in the engineering sector. The HNC in Engineering includes a mix of theory, practical work and experiments and is useful to applicants who wish to extend their skills and knowledge before entering the workplace. The course is made up of eight units, five of which are specific to this particular area of study.
The core units comprise:
· Analytical methods
· Engineering science
· Engineering project
The remaining credits are achieved through the completion of specialist units which may include:
· Applications of power electronics
· Electrical and electronic principles
· Combinational and sequential logic
· Digital and analogue devices and circuits.
Assessment will be facilitated through assignments, practical assessment and/or examinations.

2 Years (part-time)
To enter this programme you should ideally be employed in a technical role and have five GCSEs at grades 9-5 (including Maths, English and Science) and a Level 3 qualification in an engineering related subject. In addition, you will be expected to demonstrate the enthusiasm and motivation to meet the academic requirements of the programme.
Teaching Staff
Richard Clegg
Richard is a chartered engineer who has taught HE and FE in mainly Electrical/Electronics and Maths. He has over 20 years experience of design and development in industry, covering the defence, consumer and professional broadcast electronics sectors. Richard has expert experience of FPGA and Application Specific ICs. His research interests include embedded systems, which has allowed me to branch out into robotics and PLCs; programmable logic solutions, including hardware and software solutions, analysis of circuits using mathematical techniques and using tools such as Matlab and Modelsim/Multisim provides backup to the learning. Richard enjoys exploring new technology and allowing students to do the same.
Adrian Smalley
Adrian has 7 years’ experience delivering mechanical and electrical subjects in the FE sector including spells as an electrical Lecturer for Babcock (Rail apprentices HMS Sultan), Highbury College (Cosham) and now CEMAST. Prio to working in education, Adrian worked as project supervisor for CBRE (London), responsible for the delivery and completion in a variety of environments and budgets within specified constraints and as Railway Service Manager (Camlin Rail), leading a small team on cutting edge electronic systems to provide improved Signal supplies and reduce Train line downtimes on high value projects across the UK mainland. He also has 24 years experience as a weapon engineer within the Royal Navy, working on a variety of mechanical and electrical equipment culminating in a position at Abbey Wood as Fleet systems expert for Radar. His research interests include renewable energy, electrical generation, electric and future vehicle propulsion, space communications and Moon/Mars landers.
Soumitra Roy
Soumitra has been a lecturer in the UK’s FE sector for 8 years, with a specialism in the areas of Maths, Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, Mechanical Principles, and Aerodynamics and has been a HE instructor, coordinator, and curriculum developer at Fareham College for 5 years. Soumitra has acheived his Level 3 assessor qualification, Level 5 Teaching qualification and Level 4 IQA qualification to add to his PhD in Materials Engineering on “Interdiffusion study in group IVB, VB and VIB refractory metal-silicon systems” His research work was based on solid state interdiffusion growth kinetics and microstructural analysis. As a HE lecturer he currently focuses on research-based projects on mechanical and electromechanical systems.
Students can progress on to a Level 5 Higher National Diploma (HND) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering to demonstrate further knowledge and competence in the workplace. This qualification will also give many students the opportunity to enrol in a suitable engineering degree at university.
