Description

The Pearson BTEC HNC in Engineering provides students with the core knowledge, skills and techniques needed by all engineers, irrespective of future specialisms, in order to achieve high performance in engineering. Students will develop and build their knowledge, skills and techniques in order to become successful Engineering Technicians.  They will develop the skills necessary for fault finding and problem solving, reflecting on their work and contributing to the development of the process and environment they operate within.  

Upon completion of the HNC, students will be able to demonstrate a sound understanding of the basic concepts of engineering; be able to communicate accurately and appropriately; and have the qualities of personal responsibility needed for employment. They will have developed a range of transferable skills to ensure effective team working, independent working with growing fault finding and problem-solving strategies and organisational awareness. They will understand the ethical responsibilities of engineers, for cost and the importance of protecting and sustaining the environment.
