HND in General Engineering: Level 5 Higher National Diploma

Delivering high level, industry-led training courses is what we do. As an engineering provider of advanced technical and academic skills, we work closely with employers to nurture and develop the employees they need for the future. Candidates will be required to attend Training 2000 one day a week from 8am till 4:45pm. Day of attendance will be confirmed via email 2 weeks before course start date.

Description

We provide employees with more than just a qualification. We develop both their industry skills and knowledge for immediate application in the workplace which maximises return on investment.

  • Our HND includes:
  • One-to-one tutorials
  • Flexible day delivery to minimise effect on employer
  • Work-based projects

HND Units

1. Professional Engineering Management

The aim of this unit is to provide students with the professional standards for engineers and to guide them on how to develop the range of employability skills needed by professional engineers.

2. Further Mathematics

The unit will prepare students to analyse and model engineering situations using mathematical techniques.

3. Research Project

This unit introduces students to the skills necessary to deliver a complex, independently conducted research project that fits within an engineering context.

4. Advanced Mechanical Principles

The aim of this unit is to provide students with advanced knowledge of the mechanical theories associated with engineering applications.

5. Further Thermodynamics

The aim of this unit is to develop further students’ skills in applied thermodynamics by investigating the relationships between theory and practice.

6. Sustainability

The aim of this unit is to provide students with a wide range of knowledge and understanding of the issues and topics associated with sustainability and low carbon engineering.

How you will be assessed

All units are internally assessed. Each unit within the qualification has specified pass assessment and grading criteria, in addition to this there are generic merit and distinction grading descriptors that describe performance over and above a pass grade. These allow grades of pass, merit or distinction to be awarded for all units.

Please note, these units could be subject to change.
