This multidisciplinary course consists of a range of mechanical, electrical and systems units and is designed for maximum flexibility and develops the knowledge and skills gained from the HNC Engineering Systems.

This course provides transferable core skills, foundation skills and workshop training for those who aspire to a career in the industry. It also provides a pathway to advanced levels of study. This course will give you the opportunity to develop a strong underpinning knowledge to help you develop a career in engineering. This is a modern, up-to-date programme with national recognition.You will complete electrical workshop exercises which will be backed up by electrical theory and will prepare you to come back as an electrical installation modern apprentice.

This distance learning course is for anyone wishing to start a career in engineering or already employed currently in the industry, who would like to attain an internationally recognised engineering qualification.

You will carry out mathematical solutions and apply engineering theory to a multitude of mechanical and electrical engineering problems and understand the parameters in which engineering systems operate.

The NQ5 Engineering practice course contains a mixture of practical activities and classroom-based activities. The primary focus of the course is to provide students with a range of engineering practical skills supported by relevant theory where appropriate. As such this award is suitable for those candidates who wish to become skilled crafts persons/trades persons in a wide range of engineering disciplines. Successful study will give you a solid grounding in the fundamentals of engineering and allows you to progress to a higher level of study, likely at NQ Engineering Systems Level 6.You will have the chance to study a range...

This HNC Engineering (Systems pathway) will give you the required technical training to be a technician in design, research, development and service support activities in engineering, manufacturing and consultancy.

You may also be able to use the HNC as a spring-board into the second year of our engineering degrees, including: BEng (Hons) Electrical and Electronic Engineering; BEng (Hons) Electrical and Mechanical Engineering; BEng (Hons) Mechanical Engineering; or BEng (Hons) Energy Engineering.

This course is delivered at our Falkirk campus and provides students with a sound understanding of civil engineering construction principles and techniques. The course will prepare students for employment as civil engineering technicians and provide them with relevant experience and further higher academic study to be able to hold senior technician positions.

The course is designed for those seeking a career/or progressing their careers in civil engineering design, management and maintenance of infrastructure elements such as construction of buildings, bridges, roads, railway, water and sewerage systems.

It will provide individuals with a range...
