This short higher-level programme focusses on:

Engineering Mechanics and Materials

 

Every aspect of engineering depending upon the use and manipulation of materials, whether naturally occurring or man-made, it is the properties of these materials that are fundamental to their creation, processing and application and therefore the focus of this unit.

Computer Aided Design and Manufacture (CAD/CAM)

 

The capacity to quickly produce finished components from a software model is now essential in the competitive world of manufacturing. Businesses now invest heavily in Computer Aided Design (CAD) software, Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM) software and Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machines to facilitate this, thus reducing product lead times. With CAD giving design engineers the platform to creatively model components that meet the specific needs of the consumer, these models are combined with CAM software to make manufacturing is made a reality.

Level 3 in Engineering
Previous school: Holy Trinity School, Telford

Level 2 was mostly practical and this year on Level 3 there is a lot of theory and it's preparing me for university. I live outside of Shrewsbury and the transport links to the College are good.

Engineering Apprentice at Ricoh

I studied Product Design at A Level and really enjoyed it. Taking on an Engineering Apprenticeship seemed like the natural progression from that, and I’ve appreciated every minute of it. It is great working for Ricoh and being able to study at SCG, as I get so many opportunities, such as taking part in WorldSkills.

A Level Product Design (Media Studies and Music)
Previous school: Belvidere School

I took Product Design at A Level because I was inspired by my GCSE teacher. I really enjoy how hands on the subject is and using the computers to bring your designs to life. You can explore your creative side in a relaxed environment.
