Peirianneg— Tystysgrif BTEC Lefel 3 a
Diploma Atodol BTEC Lefel 3
Engineering – BTEC Level 3 Certificate
and BTEC Level 3 Subsidiary Diploma
Dilynir cwrs Edexcel. Mae'r Dystysgrif yn
flwyddyn o hyd ac mae’n cyfateb i un lefel UG.
Mae’r Diploma Atodol yn dilyn yn y flwyddyn
ganlynol ac mae’n cyfateb i un lefel A. Mae’r
cwrs wedi’i ddosbarthu fel a ganlyn;
TYSTYSGRIF BTEC LEFEL 3
Cwblheir 1 uned orfodol a 2 uned ddewisol er
mwyn cael 30 credyd lefel 3. Yr unedau yw:-
• Iechyd a diogelwch yn y gweithle
• Priodweddau a chymwysiadau defnyddiau
peirianneg
• Trydan ac egwyddorion trydanol
DIPLOMA ATODOL
Cwblheir 3 uned ddewisol er mwyn cael 30
credyd lefel 3 ychwanegol. Yr unedau y byddwn
yn eu dewis yw;
• Mathemateg ar gyfer technegwyr
• Darlunio peirianneg ar gyfer technegwyr
• Theori hedfan
Mae’r cwrs yma yn un galwedigaethol sy’n
ffocysu ar y defnydd a wneir o wyddoniaeth
mewn sefydliadau gwyddonol neu mewn
sefydliadau sy’n defnyddio gwyddoniaeth. Gall y
cwrs BTEC arwain at yrfaoedd llewyrchus mewn
sawl maes gan gynnwys peirianneg sifil,
peirianneg drydanol, peirianneg mecanegol a
nifer o brentisiaethau modern sy’n ddibynnol ar
unigolion gyda sgiliau gwyddonol, mathemategol
a chyfrifiadurol. Yn ogystal, gall arwain at
astudio gwyddoniaeth ymhellach mewn
prifysgol.
Bydd y cwrs yn rhoi gradd Basio, Clod neu
Anrhydedd. O fewn y maes Gwyddoniaeth
Gymhwysol bydd y gwaith yn cael ei asesu’n
fewnol ac yna’n cael ei gymedroli. Nid oes
arholiadau sy’n cael eu marcio’n allanol. Mae’r
gwaith i gyd ar ffurf portffolio.
Derbynnir disgyblion sydd wedi llwyddo i gael C
neu’n uwch yn y gwyddorau ar wahân, C neu’n
uwch mewn TGAU Gwyddoniaeth Gymhwysol
neu Glod yn y cwrs BTEC lefel 2. Yn ogystal,
gofynnir bod disgyblion wedi derbyn gradd B neu
yn uwch mewn mathemateg ar lefel TGAU.
The Edexcel specification is followed on this
course. The Certificate takes one year to
complete and is equivalent to one AS level. The
Subsidiary Diploma follows in the second year and
is equivalent to a full A level. The contents of the
course are as follows:-
BTEC LEFEL 3 CERTIFICATE
1 mandatory unit is completed in addition to 2
optional units to gain 30 credits at level 3. These
units are;
• Health and safety in the workplace
• Properties and applications of engineering
materials
• Electrical and electronic properties
SUBSIDIARY DIPLOMA
3 optional units are completed to gain 30 credits
at level 3. The units that we have chosen are;
• Mathematics for technicians
• Engineering drawing for technicians
• Theory of flight
This course is vocational in context and focuses on
the use of science in scientific organisations and in
organisations using science. The BTEC course can
lead to a successful career in several fields
including; civil engineering; electrical engineering;
mechanical engineering; and a number of modern
apprenticeships that rely on individuals with good
mathematical, scientific and information
technology skills. In addition, the course can lead
to studying science to a higher level at university.
The course provides a Pass, Merit and Distinction
grade which is assessed internally and is then
verified. There are no exams to be marked
externally. All of the work is portfolio based.
Pupils accepted on the course will have succeeded
in gaining a C or above in the separate sciences, a
C or above in the GCSE Applied Science course or
a Merit in the BTEC level 2 course. Furthermore,
due to the mathematical nature of the course, it is
expected that pupils will have received a B grade,
or higher, at GCSE level.
