AAQ – Engineering
Course Information
The AAQ in Engineering will equip students with relevant sector knowledge and skills using practical, real-life engineering contexts in preparation for progression to undergraduate study. It covers the modelling of products, computer-aided design (CAD) and product redesign.
Through a combination of theoretical study and hands-on experience, you will develop the necessary knowledge and skills that can support progression to higher education engineering study. In the examined units, you will study key knowledge and understanding relevant to engineering. In the non examined assessment (NEA) unit, you will demonstrate knowledge and skills you learn by completing a practical assignment.
UNITS
- F130: Principles of engineering This unit is assessed by an exam.
In this unit you will learn about the mathematical techniques, forces and the electrical/electronic principles widely used in the engineering industry.
Topics include:
- Topic Area 1 Mathematics
- Topic Area 2 Mechanical principles
- Topic Area 3 Electrical/electronic principles
- F132: Engineering in practice This unit is assessed by an assignment.
In this unit you will analyse products, produce engineering CAD drawings and make a component and a circuit prototype.
Topics include:
