Engineering (General Engineering) Higher National Certificate (full-time) (HTQ)
The Higher National Certificate in Electrical and Electronic
Engineering has been developed to meet the training needs of those
employed or interested in a career in the electronic, control engineering and
related industries. Students will study a range of modules mainly at level 4
totalling 125 credit points and is equivalent to Year 1 of a university honours
degree.
The course modules have been chosen to be relevant to a wide range of
disciplines within the industry, this includes Analogue and Digital Electronics,
Instrumentation and Control Engineering, Data Communications and supporting
modules in Maths, Electrical Principles and Engineering Science. Studies
include the relevant theory, application, practical circuit construction, test,
and use of Computer Simulation to design and test electronic systems.
An important component of the course is the project module in which students
are engaged on a personal engineering project of commercial significance. This
enables the student to apply much of the knowledge and skills gained on the
course to a realistic project at advanced level, and of significant benefit to
their employer.
BMet is a partner in the Greater
Birmingham & Solihull IoT, which specialises in Engineering and
Manufacturing and was developed to incorporate all further education colleges
and higher education institutions in the region. The GBSIoT is also
advised by a group of employers and stakeholders to ensure that it is employer
led and responds to the requirements of the area.
Annual and modular tuition fees shown are applicable to the first year(HNC)of
study. The College reserves the right to increase fees for subsequent years of
study (HND) in line with increases in inflation (capped at 3%) or to reflect
changes in Government funding policies or changes agreed by
Parliament.
If the Level 3 qualification is made up of A Levels one A Level must be Maths
or Physics. All other qualifications must be an engineering, science or IT
subject.
Minimum number of GCSEs at Grade C or above: 5, which must include:, GCSE
English: Grade C or 4, GCSE Maths: Grade C or 4
Students are well supported on the programme with 7 hours of study per week.
Students are taught in relatively small groups, delivered by a variety of means
including lectures, practical investigation, computer simulation, case studies
and discussion.
Successful students will be awarded the qualification of HNC in Electrical
and Electronic Engineering and should be able to progress further on to stage 2
of an honours degree.
