The aim of this course is to provide students with a broader knowledge of engineering principles and methodology, combined with the development of research and analytical skills, to prepare you for employment opportunities in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering field. There will be a focus on reflection, critical thinking, environmental impact, analysis and personal development.Our dedicated faculty, comprised of experienced professionals, will guide you through the latest industry trends, technological advancements, and sustainable practices. You will also develop essential skills in problem-solving, project management, and teamwork, all of which are highly valued by employers in the field.Upon successful completion of the HNC program, you will have the option to progress to an HND or enter the workforce with the confidence and competence to contribute effectively to the electrical and electronic engineering industry. The units lay the foundation of learning by giving students a wide introduction to the engineering sector, with a focused introduction to electrical and electronic engineering. This strengthens and builds core skills while preparing students for more specialist subjects at Level 5 or to enter employment with the necessary skills for job which entail some personal responsibility. Students will gain broader range of engineering and scientific knowledge linked to practical skills developed through research, directed study, independent study, and workplace scenarios. Students are involved in vocational activities that help them to develop behaviours and transferable skills which include communication, research, teamwork, and analysis, which are held in high regard in higher education and in the workplace.By the end of Level 4 study, students will have sound knowledge of the basic concepts of electrical and electronic engineering. They will be confident in a range of subject specific skills as well as in general skills and qualities that are key to these important areas of engineering.Two years part-time with one full day attendance per week, or one year full-time with the equivalent of two full day attendance per week.6 hours for part-time course or 12 hours for full-time course.Each unit is worth 15 credits and over the course of the programme you will gain 120 credits.A Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering opens a wide array of rewarding career options in various sectors. Graduates of this program are equipped with a strong foundation in mechanical engineering principles and practical skills, making them valuable assets to industries that rely on innovation, design, and problem-solving.
