The course covers a wide range of topics in manufacturing engineering at level 4 and level 5. It is designed to appeal to candidates employed in a range of manufacturing industries.

  • Main modules: Mathematics for Engineers. Mechanical Science. Advanced CAD. Planning and Scheduling. Product Innovation. Manufacturing Technology & Materials. Work-Based Project. Manufacturing Control Systems. Applied Mathematics.

The Advanced CAD module engages learners in using CAD and CAM software in design leading to the production of professional standard engineering drawings, CNC programmes and engineered components. The Manufacturing Technology module focuses on manufacturing processes and the properties of materials. In the Manufacturing Control Systems module learners will gain knowledge and skills in implementing control systems involving PLCs, hydraulics and pneumatics. The Work-Based project module engages learners on a project of commercial significance to their employer. The Planning and Scheduling module covers the tools and techniques of planning engineering projects. The Mathematics for Engineering and Applied Mathematics modules engage learners in solving engineering problems using appropriate mathematics. The Product Innovation module focuses on the tools and methods for developing products from initial concept through to prototype and manufacture.

Entry Requirements

Applicants should be in relevant employment and have one or more of the following: A BTEC Level 3 Diploma, National Certificate or National Diploma in an Engineering or related discipline (grade above PP or PPP). An A Level in Mathematics with supporting GCSEs in English and Science. A pass on an Access to HE course in Engineering. An IELTS score of at least 6.0 (If English is not a first language) Equivalent qualifications to the above may be acceptable. Applicants who do not meet the academic requirements above but have substantial relevant industrial experience will be considered. Course entry is subject to interview.

Delivery & Assessment methods

Attendance is required over two calendar years commencing September 20th 2012 and completing in September 2014. (During the college summer break students will be set coursework). The course is delivered on one day per week , (Thursdays 09.00-20.00 or 21.00). Students will use computer aided design and manufacturing software to represent and develop engineering components, solve engineering problems, investigate practically, fluid power systems and write programmes for their control. Students will also do case studies and undertake a project of commercial significance to their employer. A range of assessment methods are used including, assignments, examinations, case studies, projects and presentations. Opportunity for team working will also be available.

Progression

Students successfully completing the Foundation Degree with merit grades or higher will be able to progress on to the final year of an honours degree at Coventry University (this component will take 2 years part-time). Students passing the course but not achieving this grade profile will be able to progress on to the 2nd year of the honours degree. We are seeking professional recognition for the course and it is expected that students will be able to gain membership of a professional institution appropriate to the level of the course.
