HNC in Mechatronics for England (HTQ)

The Engineering Design unit explores the design process, from client brief to planning, design specification and evaluation. Essential for problem solving, is your ability to apply algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics and probability, which are the focus of the Engineering Maths unit. Mechanical Principles includes the study of fundamental laws and applications of physical sciences within engineering, including static and dynamic forces, fluid mechanics, and thermodynamics. This knowledge is supplemented by developing an understanding of the integration of mechanical engineering, electronics, computer control, and information technology.

In the Digital Principles unit, you will acquire an understanding of digital systems and their applications in modern engineering.
Exploration of the principles and practices involved in manufacturing processes and techniques for improving quality and efficiency in engineering processes, are each covered in specialist units.

You will at the same time develop academic study skills including active research, effective writing, analytical and critical thinking skills, problem solving and the use of digital technology.
