Updated on: 18-02-2026 Engineers are professionals who can design, develop, manufacture, construct,
operate, and maintain the physical infrastructure and content of the world we live in.
They do this by using their academic knowledge and practical experience, in a safe,
effective, and sustainable manner, even when faced with a high degree of technical
complexity.
The aim of this unit is to continue building up on the knowledge gained in Unit 4004:
Managing a Professional Engineering Project or Unit 4062 Professional Engineering
Practice, to provide students with the professional standards for engineers and
to guide them on how to develop the range of employability skills needed by
professional engineers.
Among the topics included in this unit are: engineering strategy and services delivery
planning, the role of sustainability, Total Quality Management (TQM), engineering
management tools, managing people, and becoming a professional engineer.
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to construct a coherent
engineering services delivery plan to meet the requirements of a sector-specific
organisation or business. They will display a personal commitment to professional
standards and obligations to society, the engineering/manufacturing profession,
and the environment.
This unit is assessed by a Pearson-set theme. The project brief will be set by the
centre, based on a theme provided by Pearson (this will change annually). The theme
and chosen project within the theme will enable students to explore and examine a
relevant and current topical aspect of professional engineering/manufacturing sector.
Updated on: 15-12-2025 A mechanical engineer is required to have an advanced knowledge of most of the
machinery used within the engineering industry, and should understand the physical
laws that influence their operation.
The aim of this unit is to continue covering the topics discussed in Unit 4008:
Mechanical Principles and other higher-level topics such as:
Poissons Ratio and typical values of common materials; the relationship between the
elastic constants such as Bulk Modulus, Modulus of Elasticity, Modulus of Rigidity; the
relationship between bending moment, slope, and deflection in beams; calculating
the slope and deflection for loaded beams using Macaulays method; analysing the
stresses in thin-walled pressure vessels; and stresses in thick-walled cylinders,
flat and v-section belt drive theory.
On successful completion of this unit students will be able to have more advanced
knowledge of mechanical principles including behavioural characteristics of materials
subjected to complex loading, the strength of loaded beams and pressurised vessels,
specifications of power transmission system elements, and operational constraints of
dynamic systems.
Updated on: 26-03-2026 The understanding of more advanced mathematics is important within an engineering
and manufacturing sector curriculum to support and broaden abilities within the
applied subjects at the core of all engineering programmes. Students are introduced
to additional topics that will be relevant to them as they progress to the next level of
their studies, advancing their knowledge of the underpinning mathematics gained in
Unit 4002: Engineering Mathematics.
The unit will prepare students to analyse and model engineering/manufacturing
situations using mathematical techniques. Among the topics included in this unit
are: number theory, complex numbers, matrix theory, linear equations, numerical
integration, numerical differentiation, and graphical representations of curves
for estimation within an engineering/manufacturing context. Finally, students will
expand their knowledge of calculus to discover how to model and solve engineering/
manufacturing problems using first and second-order differential equations.
On successful completion of this unit, students will be able to use applications of
number theory in practical engineering situations, solve systems of linear equations
relevant to engineering/manufacturing applications using matrix methods,
approximate solutions of contextualised examples with graphical and numerical
methods, and review models of engineering and manufacturing systems using
ordinary differential equations.
Updated on: 13-10-2025 Embedded systems are a key element of modern engineering systems, applied in
areas as diverse as agriculture, automotive, medical, and space, in industrial setting,
and in the home and office. In many cases, embedded systems are linked together
in networks and consist of a combination of hardware and software components to
performs specific functions. Embedded systems are the basis of modern engineering
design and practice, notably in machine-to-machine communication and the Internet
of Things (IoT).
This unit develops the knowledge of computer hardware, focussing on the small,
low-cost type of computer (i.e., a microcontroller), that are used in embedded systems.
It then develops skill in selecting peripheral devices that operate external to the
microcontroller and interface with it; generally, these relate to sensors, actuators,
human interface, or data transfer. In parallel with this, students will be developing
programming skills, writing programmes which download straight to the
microcontroller, to interact with its external circuit. Students will also explore
the wider context of embedded systems, learning how they are applied in hi-tech
applications, in many cases revolutionising our ability to undertake certain activities.
Unit assessment will require the design, development, and testing of an embedded
system, to meet a given design brief; this will develop skills which are in much
demand in industry. A written assignment, exploring one or more of the many
fast-moving embedded system applications in use today, will also be completed
