You will be taught at our state-of-the-art CEMAST campus and have access to facilities such as a design suite, CAD/CAM, 3D Printing and Manufacturing workshop. This is an opportunity to really develop your practical skills alongside the analytical skills and knowledge required for Higher
Education. CEMAST has been developed alongside employers and there will be the opportunity to work on projects with industry representatives, or with your own employer, to ensure that the skills you develop improve your employability. You will be taught through practical demonstrations, workshop demonstrations, presentations and lectures.
The course is primarily for people who are currently working in a related field who wish to gain a qualification in recognition of their skills and knowledge or who would like to build on existing expertise. It is anticipated that a portion of the course will be linked to work-based learning or to workplace simulations. This course is ideal for people wanting to progress their careers into management or gain professional recognition, by progressing to Incorporated Engineer Status.
You must have the ability to self-motivate and a willingness to learn new skills and techniques.
You must achieve a minimum of 120 credits to gain this qualification. 50 credits are achieved by completing the following mandatory core units:
- Analytical methods for engineers
- Engineering science (mechanical and electrical)
- Project design, implementation and evaluation.
The remaining credits are achieved through the completion of specialist units which include:
- Application of machine tools
- Computer-aided machining
- Fluid mechanics
- Engineering Thermodynamics.
Assessment will be facilitated through assignments, practical assessment and/or examinations.
