HNC General Engineering has been developed to focus on the education and training of engineers/technicians who are employed at a professional level in a variety of types of technical work, such as in systems design, manufacture, maintenance and technical services areas of the mechanical, electronic and electrical engineering industries. Further, with the increasing importance of renewable energy and its impact on engineers, a unit discussing this topic has been included on all courses. The course also provides:
- opportunities for learners to focus on the development of the higher level skills in a technological and management context
- an education pathway, progressing HNC (level 4) qualifications to HND (level 5) and degree (level 6)
