Course Outline
The popular Engineering course at Falmouth School is intended as an introduction to
the world of Engineering. This qualification will develop the skills and understanding
needed for the first steps to a progressive career path, which may lead to further
technical or academic engineering qualifications. Engineering is aimed at students
who wish to study the processes involved in both designing and manufacturing new
engineering products. Students will study engineering materials, analyse existing
products and participate in a range of engineering manufacturing processes.
Why should I choose this subject?
Engineering can offer you a pathway onto an A level course or equivalent level 3
qualification. Alternatively it may help you to secure an engineering or practical based
apprenticeship with a local or national company. There are a wide range of careers in
the field of engineering and manufacture that would use the skills and knowledge you
would gain from studying this subject. Essentially this qualification teaches you to
problem-solve at a high level, therefore subjects such as Science and Mathematics
would complement this option choice.
