If you are already working in the engineering industry and want to upskill or if you want to progress to university top-up eventually to a full degree. Find out more form the Pearson student guide: https://www.pearson.com/en-gb/schools/campaigns/btec-higher-nationals.htmlThe Level 5 units prepare students to move on to specific areas of aeronautical engineering at Level 6 or to enter employment with the qualities and abilities necessary for roles that require personal responsibility and decision making. Students will be able to develop and apply their own ideas to their studies, to deal with uncertainty and complexity, to explore solutions, demonstrate critical evaluation and use both theory and practice in a wide range of engineering situations. By the end of Level 5 study, students will have a sound understanding of the principles in their area of specialist study and will know how to apply those principles more widely in the industry. They will be able to perform effectively in their specialist area.More information can be found here:https://qualifications.pearson.com/content/dam/pdf/BTEC-Higher-Nationals/aeronautical-engineering-for-england/2024/specification/9781292448466-btec-hn-l4-l5-aero-engin-engl-iss1.pdfWhere will this course take me?Aeronautical Engineering Technician (or Senior)Aerospace Engineering Technician (or Senior)Aeronautical Manufacturing TechnicianAircraft Flight Control TechnicianAeronautical Systems EngineerAerospace EngineerCore modulesUnit 4001: Engineering DesignUnit 4002: Engineering MathsUnit 4004: Managing a Professional Engineering Project Note: This is a Pearson-set unit.Unit 4041: Aircraft AerodynamicsUnit 4042: Aircraft Electrical Power and Distribution SystemsUnit 4043: Airframe Mechanical SystemsUnit 4044: Composite Materials for Aerospace Applications Unit 4045: Turbine Rotary Wing Mechanical and Flight SystemsAssessment & FeedbackPearson BTEC Higher Nationals are assessed using a combination of:Centre-developed internal assignments that are set and assessed by CentresPearson-set assignments, which are set by Centres in line with our guidelines and graded by Centres. Pearson-set units are mandatory and target particular industry-specific skills. The number and value of these units depend on qualification sizeFor the HND, Centres will assess two compulsory Pearson-set units targeted at particular skills: one Level 4 core unit carrying 15 credits and one Level 5 core unit carrying 15 credits.All other units are assessed through internal assignments set by the Centre.
