Level 5 Pearson BTEC HND in Mechanical Engineering

The Mechanical Engineering programme has been carefully designed with a heavy emphasis on Manufacturing and Production Engineering and Technologies. Many Mechanical Engineers join production and manufacturing industry; work in the thermal power plants; engage in design and maintenance of industrial equipment and machinery, heating and cooling systems for a range of industrial and commercial applications; all sorts of vehicular systems such as automobiles, aircrafts and watercrafts; and robotics. Modern day Mechanical engineers are heavily involved in the fields of automation, mechatronics, and nanotechnology.

This Higher National Diploma programme is mapped and approved by Kingston University London and equivalent to the first two years of BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering programme. Students can get the internationally recognized Pearson (Edexcel UK) qualification after completing this 18 month (full-time) programme. The course contains level 4 and level 5 Pearson HND modules recommended by Kingston University London to progress into level 6 of BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering, contributing 300 credits. High-Qualified and Student-friendly academic staff is available for the delivery of the programme consultancy.

What you’ll learn in this course:

• To provide students with the core knowledge, skills and techniques that all engineers require, irrespective of future specialism, to achieve high performance in the engineering profession
• To build a body of specialist knowledge, skills and techniques in order to be successful in a range of careers in engineering at the Technician or Engineer level
• To develop the skills necessary for fault finding and problem solving in a timely, professional manner, reflecting on their work and contributing to the development of the process and environment they operate within
• To understand the responsibilities of the engineer within society, and work with integrity, regard for cost, sustainability and the rapid rate of change experienced in world class engineering
• To allow flexibility of study and to meet local or specialist needs

After completion of Pearson BTEC HND in Mechanical Engineering programme, students would qualify to enrol into the final year of BEng (Hons) in Mechanical Engineering degree programme offered by Kingston University London.
