FdSc/HNC Engineering (Manufacturing Management)
Designed to meet the needs of employers in Production, Manufacturing Engineering and Management, HNC level students study Manufacturing Technology and Management of the Production / Manufacturing Process. This will incorporate the latest techniques in the organisation of the work area and quality management. Students will become adept in the use of CAD software to produce engineering drawings that are suitable for conversion to solid models using our modern rapid prototyping facility, and various methods of automated manufacture. Students will also study the types of system available and their capabilities in terms of the rapid introduction of products to a competitive marketplace. At FdSc level, students will develop production management techniques still further. Credit is given for Continued Professional Development and a company-relevant major project.
