Engineering – Intermediate 1
Students participating in this course will begin develop the generic and practical skills, knowledge and understanding and employability skills needed within an engineering sector.
The course focuses on the four broad areas of Mechanical, Electrical/Electronic, Fabrication and Manufacture. This will allow the students to gain basic transferable skills which can be applied to any of the above engineering areas. The Manufacture and Assembly Unit allows students to apply the mechanical, electrical/electronic and fabrication skills they have learned in the manufacture and assemble of an artefact(s). Generic employability skills such as time-keeping, following instructions and carrying out quality checks of their own work are integrated into the course and will be developed in conjunction with the practical activities.
