Level 3 - BTEC Certificate in Advanced Manufacturing Engineering (Development Technical Knowledge) - Study Programme

This two-year course is for those looking to become highly skilled engineers. You will develop knowledge of a range of practices including technical design, development and quality assurance, installation, commissioning and decommissioning, operation or maintenance of products plus much more. You will apply proven techniques and procedures to solve engineering/manufacturing problems and become skilled in communicating both technical and non-technical information.

You will study theoretical aspects of the subject and apply them to practical tasks.
Compulsory topics include:

• Health and Safety in the Workplace
• Communications Skills
• Mathematics for Engineers
• Electrical and Electronic Principles
• Mechanical Principles
• Materials
• Electronic Principles
• Manufacturing Planning
• Electrical Principles
• Calculus
• Further Mathematics
• Organisational Improvements
• Engineering Primary Forming
• Programmable Logic Controller (PLCs)
• Electrical Technology
• Further Electrical Principles
• Further Mechanical Principles
• Thermodynamic Principles
• Employability Skills
• Progress Tutorial Sessions

Both years of the course are assessed through assignments, there are practical assessments in certain modules (i.e. Electrical Principles and Materials) but the practical is used to aid the learner to answer their assignments.
