What is engineering about?

Engineers are the backbone of many industries including design and manufacturing, building and architectural, healthcare, military and service. This course builds on the knowledge gained in GCSE Engineering and Design courses to help students prepare for working in the engineering field. You will develop your understanding of how to design and manufacture products and services to solve problems and to enrich people’s lives.

This course emphasises the importance of high quality design and manufacture, builds understanding of materials science and mathematics used by engineers on a daily basis and supports students to further develop their computer design and visualisation skills.

Support from industry is a key component of this course and students will have the opportunity to work alongside sponsors including Raytheon, GSK, Gratnells Engineering and Harlow group.

Future careers linked to this subject

There are millions of engineering jobs across the world in a huge range of sectors. Students can continue their studies at University, through an Apprenticeship or through work.
