Updated on: 08-04-2025 Engineering products are part of our daily lives, from aircraft to the smallest electronic circuits found in medical devices. Engineering products are designed as a result of the identification of a need or opportunity, and then engineers use creative skills and technical knowledge to devise and deliver a new design or improvements to an existing design. For example, advances in the development of fuels led to the first internal combustion engine, and engineers have been improving its design ever since. In this unit, you will examine what triggers changes in the design of engineering products and the typical challenges that engineers face, such as designing out safety risks. You will learn how material properties and manufacturing processes impact on the design of an engineering product. You will also use an iterative process to develop a design for an engineering product by interpreting a brief, producing initial ideas and then communicating and justifying your suggested solution. You will draw on your learning from across your programme to complete the assessment tasks. It is important that engineers use creative and technical knowledge, understanding and skills to transform ideas into viable products, and that they understand the critical importance of this activity in ensuring that products are both safe and effective. This unit will help prepare you for an engineering apprenticeship, engineering courses in higher education and for technician-level roles in a variety of engineering sectors.

Updated on: 29-04-2024 Technology systems are crucial for organisations to operate effectively, and
organisations rely on technology support teams to install, maintain, and regularly
update these systems. Hardware components must be replaced when they malfunction
and upgraded to support the computers processing requirements. New versions or
updates of application software are required to enable the users to carry out day to
day tasks effectively and efficiently.
In this unit, you will examine reasons that technology systems must work efficiently, and
why they require the most up-to-date application software/apps to support the business
processing requirements.
You will install the internal components of a computer, testing these to ensure that the
components have been installed correctly. You will also install and upgrade software
applications.
