Mechanical Engineering

The Pearson BTEC HNC in Mechanical Engineering builds the knowledge and skills needed for work in the mechanical engineering and manufacturing sector, or for progression to an undergraduate degree. It is designed to meet the core functions of the discipline. Teaching draws on real industry examples, so learners see how engineering methods improve production processes and reduce losses. The course is delivered in a practical, applied style that links classroom theory to workplace practice. Timetables include daytime and evening options at Dudley Advance I, so learners can choose a pattern that suits their circumstances. Learners also build confidence in working as part of a team, supported by group work and discussion. They finish with practical experience of applying engineering methods in production settings, which supports both employment and further study.
