This course consists of two Level 4 modules from the HTQ in Electrical & Electronic Engineering for England: Production Engineering for Manufacture and Electrical Machines.
You will analyse the key materials, the types of machinery used and the different ways of organising production systems to optimise the production process. You will also develop the understanding to be able to select the most appropriate production processes for manufacturing products of different material types.
You will further develop your understanding of how electrical machines convert energy as well as developing your knowledge of the principles of operation of transformers, induction motors, synchronous machines, electromagnetic transducers, actuators, generators and three-phase induction motors and generators.
Module accreditation at Level 4 in Production Engineering for Manufacture and Electrical Machines (30 credits).
Completion of the remaining six modules on the HTQ in Electrical & Electronic Engineering for England is a typical progression route. Others may wish to progress onto our Higher National Diploma, another higher-level Engineering qualification, or simply progress into employment in the industry.
The Level 4 Higher National Certificate is recognised by Higher Education providers as meeting admission requirements to many relevant Engineering related degree course.
This unit combination will give you an in-depth insight into the world of production engineering and electrical machines. During your course, you will develop a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of production technologies, their advantages, disadvantages and the interaction between the various elements of them.
In addition to developing your knowledge of production engineering, you will develop an understanding of the operating principles and applications of a range of electrical machines which are commonly found in manufacturing, transport, and consumer appliances.
Timetable
Studied part-time over five months, and students will attend college 6 hours per week. The timetable for September 2024 entry is yet to be confirmed but is likely to be on Tuesdays.
Cost – Absolutely free!
The Government are funding up to 30 credits of study as part of the Modular Acceleration Programme for 24/25. If you wish to continue onto the full HTQ, your already low HE study cost will be
Assessment takes place using a variety of methods including assignments, presentations, projects, formal written examinations and case studies. All students will receive regular feedback on their work and progress from their tutors.
The qualification will be graded at pass, merit, and distinction.
We expect those studying this HTQ to ensure they have a Level 3 in a related subject or two relevant A Levels, as well as GCSE maths at Grade 5 and English, a science and two others at a Grade 4 or above. We welcome interest from mature students who may not have the formal qualifications expected, but a wealth of experience in a related subject.
