Engineering learning journey
KS4 Engineering
 
At Treviglas Students have the option of studying WJEC Engineering, this is a Level 1/2 course and enables Students to develop an understanding of how Engineers work and contribute to society and the world. Engineers solve problems by applying their knowledge of materials and processes to make things more efficiently. During the two year course Students will be shown a number of different Engineering techniques and processes such as marking out, shaping materials and drawing techniques. Students will also carry out a number of different practical projects that will help develop manufacturing skills using the full range of engineering equipment. Computer Aided Design will be carried out throughout the course so that Students learn how to communicate the details of engineered products. There are three units assessed in the course: Unit 1 Manufacturing Engineering components 40 % of Marks. Students are given a series of technical drawings of a product and will plan and manufacture all parts to create a finished, working product. Unit 2 Designing Engineering components 20% of Marks Students will be given an example product that needs some improvements made- Students will analyse the products and then use drawing, CAD and modelmaking techniques, to come up with an improved version of their own. Unit 3 Solving Engineering problems (written paper) 40 % of marks
