Electrical Engineering HND @ SCQF Level 8

Course description

On completion of this course you will have enhanced your knowledge and understanding of:Electrical circuit design including cable calculations, overcurrent protection and knowledge of electrical installation systems and the latest edition of the electrical regulations.Electrical motor drive systems with earth protection, starting methods and transmission arrangements.Energy systems, demand, emissions and production, sustainable and non-sustainable.Energy EfficiencyUtilisation of electrical energy in buildings for power, heating, lighting and ventilation.The effect of complex waveforms on transmission lines as well as electrical parallel and series circuits.Continued study of mathematics for engineersHigh voltage protection systems and transformers. Inspection and testing of low voltage electrical installations.

The HND in Electrical Engineering at SCQF level 8 is a continuation of the HNC in Electrical Engineering at SCQF level 7 and will progress the extensive learning achieved in the HNC. The course will be taught by staff with extensive industrial experience and will prepare you for a role as a Technical Engineer or allow progression to the second year of a degree programme at many universities.

Learning outcome

A HND in Electrical Engineering at SCQF level 8 can allow progression to become a Technical Engineer in many industries as well as allowing entry to the second year of many degree programmes. It may also improve your opportunities for progresion within your own career path.

The programme is designed to articulate to a degree level programme.
