If you want to learn about mechanical and electrical engineering then this course could be the one! It enables you to work towards becoming a technician of the future in all sorts of new technologies and can, if you do well, lead on to advanced level courses at college. Many of the subjects do involve practical work which blends with the theory, however it is not a craft course (such as motor vehicle maintenance) and there will be written internal and external assessments. Becoming a technician involves gaining a wide range of knowledge and some basic skills, then doing a job where these skills can be applied (such as installing and testing a computer controlled printing press or testing new products). As an engineer you will always be meeting new people and could be going to interesting places. You will study maths, computer aided design, manufacturing, electronics and engineering processes.
