Course overview

HN Flex modules are ideal for those looking to enhance their skills without committing to a full qualification. This course includes a 15-credit unit within the Engineering HNC, progressing towards a Higher Technical Qualification upon completion of both HNC and HND. It provides insight into a cutting-edge programme for upskilling in engineering careers, introducing methodical steps used by engineers to create functional products.

Course content

Design can turn an idea into something useful and a problem into a solution. Engineers need a sound understanding of the design process, and this unit will increase your knowledge and skills. Among topics studied in this unit, you will explore critical path analysis, market analysis, design project management, safety and risk, calculations, drawings and concepts, and ergonomics.

By the end of the unit you will be able to:

Plan a design solution and prepare an engineering design specification in response to a design brief.
Create possible technical solutions to address design specifications.
Prepare an industry-standard engineering technical design report.
Present to an audience a design solution.

There will be a range of assessment methods used through practical application, which may include practical sessions, essays, reports, presentations and projects.

All equipment will be provided.
