The Level 4 qualification teaches learners about electrical/electronic engineering through a mixture of practical work and classroom work. The practical work teaches the hands-on skills needed for the trade, classroom work teaches the knowledge needed for the field. There is a challenging level of math and physics embedded into this course as knowledge of these areas is crucial to this industry. Core units on this course include: Analytical methods for engineers Engineering science Project design, implementation and evaluation Other units on this course include: Programmable logic controllers Electrical power Utilisation of electrical energy Further electrical power Electrical and electronic principles Further analytic methods Digital and analogue devices and circuits Electrical, electronic and digital principles Application of microcontrollers.
Course fees: £3,000
Staff credentials: All staff teaching on this course have worked in industry and have industry backgrounds. They all have the relevant high end qualifcations mixed with the industry experience that give high quality teaching, learning and experience to the programmes.
Expected workload: 7 hours per week on campus in face to face lecturers, seminars or workshops.
Additional costs: This course is designed for students to undertake research and analysis into various aspects of Construction. Each assignment will be designed to apply knowledge and understanding from various issues to various case study scanrios. Whilst it is not a compulsory requirement, students are encouraged to undertake part time work or work experience to further support the application of learning around theory and concepts, this will be at the learners' own cost.
