Mechanical EngineeringExrended diploma LEVEL 3Duration: 2 yearlocation: slcAbout the courseThe course is intended as an exciting pathway for studentswishing to go onto university to study engineering.The Extended Diploma is the main alternative to thosewishing to do A-levels and has the benefit of beingvocationally relevant to its specific area. The subjectscovered will give a taster to those studied in highereducation. For example: the project will offer an insightinto the sorts of skills needed to complete a dissertationand subjects like fluid mechanics will go on to becomeaerodynamics depending on the discipline chosen.Year1: Health and Safety in the Engineering Workplace;Communications for Engineering Technicians; EngineeringProject; Mathematics for Engineering Technicians;Mechanical Principles and Applications; Properties andApplications for Engineering Materials; EngineeringDrawing for Technicians; Computer Aided Drafting inEngineering; Electrical and Electronic Principles.Year 2: Selecting and Using Programmable Controllers;Applications of Computer Numerical Control inEngineering; Further Mathematics for Technicians;Further Mechanical Principles and Applications;Principles and Applications of Fluid Mechanics;Principles and Applications of Thermodynamics; Electropneumatics,Hydraulic Systems & Devices; Applicationsof Mechanical Systems in Engineering.Entry Requirements5 GCSE’s at A-C in relevant subjects (e.g. Englishlanguage, science and maths*).*Maths should be the higher paperFuture OpportunitiesThe course is primarily a stepping stone into highereducation. Past students have gone onto degree coursesin: structural, civil, aeronautical, aerospace, automotive,motor sport, design and mechanical engineering. If thePEO is studied after the course however; the coursewould also satisfy part of an advanced apprenticeshipframework. This would enable a student to becomeemployed at technician level in the engineering industry.ManufacturingEngineeringDiploma Level 2Duration: 1 yearlocation: SLCAbout the courseA level 2 Diploma in Engineering is an academic andpractical work-related course that can be studied as partof a full time program for school leavers or as part ofa Modern apprenticeship (MA) framework for thoseemployed as MA’s in the Engineering industry.You will learn by completing projects and assignmentsthat are based on realistic workplace situations, activitiesand demands. As well as learning about the employmentarea you have chosen, you develop the skills you need tostart or progress your career.All the units are delivered in a single college day overone year and the course can be combined with thePerforming Engineering Operations (PEO) course tomake an excellent full-time programme of study.The course is made up of 6 units - 4 full units, and 4 halfunits.Core units:• Mathematics for Engineering Technicians (half)• Working Safely and Effectively in Engineering (half)• Interpreting and using Engineering Information (half)Specialist Units - Selecting & Using SecondaryMachining Techniques.• Electronic Circuit Construction.• Using Computer Aided Drawing Techniques inEngineering.• Part Programming CNC Machines.• Applied Electrical and Mechanical Science forEngineering (half unit).Entry RequirementsA minimum of 4 GCSEs at grade D; to include Maths,English and Science subjects.Future OpportunitiesLevel 3 Diploma in Engineering - mechanical orelectrical (overall merit grade required)40 Leeds City College | Engineering & Motor Vehicle 2013-14
