Programme Overview

The Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Engineering provides a thorough introduction to core engineering principles, preparing learners for both employment in the engineering sector and further studies. Through a structured curriculum covering mathematics, mechanics, electricity, and statistics, students gain fundamental technical knowledge and practical skills essential for engineering disciplines. This qualification supports progression to Level 4 engineering courses and enhances employability in entry-level technical roles.

Aims of the Diploma

This diploma is designed to:

• Develop foundational knowledge in key engineering disciplines, including principles, mechanics, and electronics.

• Prepare learners for practical applications in various engineering settings, equipping them with technical problem-solving skills.

• Enable students to apply mathematical and statistical techniques to real-world engineering problems.

• Provide a pathway for further study in engineering at Level 4 or entry-level employment in technical roles.

Learning Outcomes

Upon successful completion of this diploma, learners will be able to:

1. Apply fundamental engineering principles, including the use of SI units, measurements, and calculations.

2. Understand and perform engineering design processes, particularly in 2D CAD.

3. Demonstrate knowledge of basic electrical systems, circuit theories, and power supply functions.

4. Apply mechanical principles to understand motion, forces, and energy in engineering contexts.

5. Use statistical methods to analyse engineering data and solve technical problems.

6. Solve engineering-related mathematics problems, including algebra, geometry, and calculus.
