You will study in our industry-standard classrooms, workshops, design suites and labs. Part of your course will also take place in our new Science, Technology, Engineering, and Maths Centre.

Your study will include:

  • Lectures
  • Seminars
  • Practical workshops
  • Independent study
  • Research
  • Project work


Modules

There are eight units:

  • Engineering Design
  • Engineering Maths
  • Engineering Science
  • Managing a professional engineering project
  • Electrical and Electronic principles
  • Material, properties, and testing
  • Mechanical principles
  • Electronic circuits and devices


What can I do after this course?

On completion of the HNC Engineering you could:

  • Progress to an HND in Engineering also offered at Barking & Dagenham College
  • Seek employment in the Engineering sector. Please talk to us about your career plans during your interview so we can support you to achieve your ambitions.


Entry requirements

You must have:

  • A National Diploma, or Extended National Diploma, in Engineering (including maths and science at level 3), or
