Occupational Profile

An HNC in Electrical and Electronic Engineering supports careers in a wide range of engineering disciplines including design, manufacturing, project management and IT. The broad purpose of the occupation is to provide specialist Electrical & Electronic technical support for engineers. Electrical & Electronic Technicians gather information and data from a range of sources and analyse the information/data. They will make decisions, solve problems and produce and/or update Electrical & Electronic technical documentation, reports or specifications covering areas such as quality, reliability, production schedules/ targets, costing or other technical documentation that informs others, either internally or externally what needs to be done such as how a product must be designed, manufactured, tested, modified, maintained, stored, transported, commissioned or decommissioned.

Training and Development Summary

The BTEC (Pearson) HNC Electrical and Electronic Engineering develops students ability to apply analysis and synthesis skills to the solutionof electrical engineering problems and their knowledge, understanding and skills in a range of core electrical principles, electrical power systems, electrical machine principles and electrical safety at higher level.

Classes are a combination of formal lectures, discussion, group work, tutorials and practical workshops. Throughout the course you will be encouraged to undertake independent reading/research to supplement and
consolidate what has been taught/learned and to broaden their understanding of the subject.

Students will develop a knowledge and understanding in the following areas: Engineering Design; Engineering Maths; Engineering Science; Managing a Professional Engineering Project; Instrumentational and Control Systems; Electrical and Electronic Principles; Digital Principles; Electronic Circuits and Devices.

This qualification comprises of a minimum of 120 credits. 50 credits of 3 mandatory/core units and 70 credits of a minimum of 4 specialist units. Depending on chosen units, apprentices will develop a knowledge and understanding in the following areas: Engineering Design, Engineering Mathematics, Engineering Science, Managing Projects, Instrumental and Control Systems, Digital Principles and Electronic Circuits & Devices.

For the HNC technical qualification, apprentices will attend college on a day release or evening basis. The HNC is assessed through Pearson approved practical assessments and assignments.

Professional Recognition and Career Progression

Successful completion of an HNC in Electrical and Electronic Engineering will give you the knowledge, understanding and skills you need for relevant industry employment. You can progress to a Level 5 HND or Higher Apprenticeship at Dudley College or potentially progress to an undergraduate degree at University.
