ENGINEERING UPDATE March 2017

NEW TECHNICALS OFFER WHAT WILL BE COVERED? • • Progression routes Design Principles Qualifications Content Assessment Grading UCAS

OVERVIEW OF CONTENT • The Level 2 Technical Award must provide depth of study. • It is approved for use and will provide learners with an awareness of the engineering sector rather that giving them a pathway into a particular job outcome. • First teaching planned for September 2016. • Scheme number 1145 -20. Unit 201 – Engineering communication Unit 202 – Engineering development • Understand engineering drawing conventions • Understand the operation of Computer Aided Design (CAD) • Understand the use of basic components in engineering • Understand basic units of measurement used in engineering. • Understand the methods used to manufacture commercial products. • Understand the methods used to make prototype products. • Understand the types and properties of materials that are used to make engineered products. • Understand the importance of design criteria in evaluation

ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW External exam Synoptic assignment • This is externally set and externally marked. • The pass mark is not published. • This is externally set, internally marked and externally moderated. • • Sample exam in documents tab on the webpage. Samples from all qualification content. • Once again a sample is available on the webpage. • Covers all qualification content

OVERVIEW OF CONTENT – LEVEL 2 TECHNICAL CERTIFICATES (1145 -21) • The Level 2 Technical Certificates will replace the Level 2 2850 suite of qualifications for Full-Time learners (KS 5). • Where possible aligned to new Apprenticeship standards • First teaching planned for September 2017. • There are four pathways. Each has the same three generic units nominally 60 GLH. Each pathway will be 360 GLH. Four Pathways • Manufacturing Technologies • Maintenance • Fabrication and Welding • Electronics Generic Units • Unit 203 – Principles of Engineering • Unit 204 – Developing engineering Workshop Practice • Unit 205 – Working in engineering businesses

OVERVIEW OF CONTENT – FABRICATION AND WELDING PATHWAY Unit 207 Unit 206 These are the units for the Fabrication and Welding pathway. • Welding processes • Fabrication practice Unit 208 • Cutting processes

OVERVIEW OF CONTENT – MAINTENENCE PATHWAY These are the units for the Maintenance pathway. Unit 209 Unit 210 • Engineered systems • Planned maintenance Unit 211 • Principles of maintenance

OVERVIEW OF CONTENT – MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGIES PATHWAY These are the units for the Manufacturing Technologies pathway. Unit 212 • Manufacturing principles Unit 213 • Manufacturing products

OVERVIEW OF CONTENT – ELECTRONIC PATHWAY These are the units for the Electronic pathway Unit 214 • Electronic components Unit 215 • Electronic assembly Unit 216 Unit 217 • Electronic test equipment • Automation

ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW External exam Synoptic assignment • This is externally set and • externally marked. • The pass mark is not published. • Samples from all qualification content. • This is externally set, internally marked and externally moderated. Covers all qualification content

OVERVIEW OF CONTENT – KS 5 LEVEL 3 TECHNICALS • The qualification has UCAS points, has potential to be delivered as one or two year programmes. • 720 size now included in MME pathway of the Level 3 Engineering Manufacture SASE/W framework. Sizes of qualification (GLH) and UCAS points • 360 GLH = 140 points (56). • 540 GLH = 210 points (84). • 720 GLH = 280 points (112). • 120 points converts to 48 on new tariff. Mandatory units • 301 - Engineering materials • 302 - Electronics, control and instrumentation • 303 - Mechanical structures and dynamics • 304 - Manufacturing methods in engineering

OVERVIEW OF CONTENT – KS 5 LEVEL 3 Mandatory units • The remainder of the mandatory units. • The first six we listed can form the 360 GLH sized qualification as they are all 60 GLH. • The 540 and 720 GLH sized qualifications have additional mandatory units. • 305 - Engineering design • 306 - Engineering mathematics and statistics Mandatory units • 307 - Engineering workshop practice (540/720) • 308 - Innovation and new technologies (540/720) • 310 - Manufacturing engineering (720) • 311 - Robotics and automated manufacture (720)

OVERVIEW OF CONTENT – KS 5 LEVEL 3 TECHNICALS • Then we have the optional units. One can be chosen when completing the 540 GLH sized qualification and two when choosing the 720 GLH sized qualification. • There are six sectors to choose from plus a project management unit. Optional units • 309 - Project management • 312 - Civil engineering • 313 - Aerospace engineering • 314 - Power and energy in engineering Optional units 315 - Automotive engineering 316 - Rail engineering 317 - Marine engineering

ASSESSMENT OVERVIEW External exam Synoptic assignment • This is externally set and externally marked. • • The pass mark is not published. This is externally set, internally marked and externally moderated. • Covers all mandatory qualification content • Options assignment • This is externally set, internally marked and externally moderated. • 030 covers 301 – 306 • 032 covers 307 and 308

SUPPORT FOR DELIVERY • Schemes of work containing reading lists and suggested resources • Sample delivery plans showing how a programme of study can be built • Sample examinations and synoptic assignments which can be used as mock assessment
