Engineering Diploma

BTG are working in partnership with Bedford College and Samuel Whitbread Community College, with delivery of the Engineering Diploma in North and Mid Beds. The provision is available from September 2009.

For the Diploma in engineering your course will look at 3 main areas:
1. The engineered world: Looks at the importance of engineering in the modern world and impact engineering has on the way we live our lives.
2. Discovering engineering technology: Introduces basic engineering principles such as design, materials, electronics systems, maintenance and manufacturing.
3. Engineering the future: Looks at what makes innovations succeed, how new materials contribute to design and how to develop and launch new ideas.

If you’re doing a Higher or Advanced Diploma, you’ll be looking at the same themes but exploring them in more detail and in different practical ways. Like how engineering businesses operate and the processes involved, as well as, science and maths disciplines. You’ll also learn how to use technology, programs like Computer Aided Design, tp produce scaled models.
