T Level in Engineering, Manufacturing, Processing & Control

Explore the intricate relationship between design, manufacturing, and engineering, and discover how innovative ideas are transformed into tangible products. This course unveils the complete journey from initial concept to final production, governed by the principles of process and control that ensure quality and efficiency every step of the way.

Students will develop an understanding of a broad range of issues relevant to the sector, including:Working within the Engineering and Manufacturing Sectors � an understanding of how materials, conditions, and context influence design processes and products.Essential mathematics for engineering and manufacturing � a knowledge and understanding of mathematics including standard matrices and determinants and standard trigonometry.Materials and their properties � understanding material processing techniques and their effects on materials and material quality, the condition of materials, how these are managed, and materials testing methods and techniques.Business, commercial and financial awareness � basic commercial principles including commercial priorities and markets, customers/clients/partners, and resource allocation.

You will be assessed through a combination of exams, coursework, work based observations, an employer project and an end point assessment.
