    BTEC NATIONAL CERTIFICATE

    ENGINEERING (ELECTRONIC)
    Edexcel BTEC
    Head of Department Rob Harris
    What is BTEC Engineering?
    Engineering is the application of Science and Mathematics in order to design and build devices,
    materials, structures, engines and other forms of technology. It is a broad and varied discipline,
    including, amongst others, mechanical, civil, electrical, electronic, chemical, acoustic and
    aeronautical engineering. Fundamentally, engineers are problem solvers and effect every aspect
    of our lives from communication and transport to computers and the homes in which we live.
    Engineers are employed in every corner of industry underpinning economic activity and quality of
    life. Just a few important examples include the generation of energy, defence, and the
    development of computer systems and software.
    About the course
    This 1 year BTEC Level 3 Course is QCF accredited as equivalent to 1 AS Level and comprises 3
    varied units combining theory and practical skills with an emphasis on electrical and electronic
    engineering. The course would particularly suit students considering engineering at higher
    education or thinking of a career within the engineering industry. Although not essential, the
    course would ideally sit alongside a program of two or three A-levels e.g. Maths, Physics or
    Chemistry.
    Skills you will develop on this course.
    Students will develop the practical skills and understanding to use a broad range of electrical
    apparatus. Investigative skills will be developed through practical construction, measurement
    and testing of circuits and, where applicable, the use of computer-based circuit analysis and
    simulation. Students will develop the confidence to construct and test electronic circuits with an
    emphasis on prototyping, constructing and measuring, treating systems in terms of their
    functionality and their input/output relationships. Communication, presentation and written
    expression skills will be developed through the production of reports. Students will be required
    to undertake risk assessments and by doing so will develop an appreciation of the hazards and
    risks associated with health, safety and welfare in an engineering workplace.

    Topics studied
    The course consists of two units related to electrical or electronic engineering, and a unit on
    health and safety.

    Electrical and Electronic Principles

    Principles and Applications of Electronic Devices and Circuits

    Health and Safety in the Engineering Workplace

    How will you learn?


    The course will be taught as practically as possible within the electronics laboratory, supported
    by assignment work. Students will also learn though classroom teaching, circuit simulation,
    discussions, textbooks and worksheets, videos, group research and presentations, library and
    internet research and use of the interactive e-learning environment.
    Where does the Course Lead?
    The BTEC Level 3 Certificate is worth up to 70 UCAS points. The knowledge and skills you learn
    will provide many interesting opportunities after your course.
    The majority of students will progress to university to study a wide range of courses, and for many
    students this will be an engineering degree.
    To maximise your opportunity to progress to a Degree in Engineering you would be advised to
    also to study AS/A2 Mathematics and Physics.
    Assessment
    All assessment is through continuous coursework assignments, with no examinations.
    The BTEC qualification is awarded at Pass, Merit, Distinction or Distinction* level.
    Entry Requirements
    5 A* - Cs at GCSE, including GCSE Maths and two Science subjects (e.g. Science and Additional
    Science)

    Revised June 2013
