The programme prepares students for technical and management careers in the Electrical sector. It is aimed to develop a range of skills and personal qualities essential for successful performance in the electrical field.

The course prepares you for possible careers in electrical systems development and maintenance. The programme is strongly vocational and aims to produce higher engineering technicians who are able to play a major role in meeting the needs of a wide range of industries that use new technology.

The ever-developing application of new technology creates a high demand for engineering technicians in a wide range of organisations. You will learn the fundamentals of engineering with special emphasis on applications and design.

The assessment of MCAST-BTEC Higher National qualifications is criterion-referenced. Learners will be required to produce valid, sufficient and reliable evidence that relates directly to achieve the specified criteria in each unit. Learners will be provided with constructive feedback and guidance about how can they improve on their strengths and on how to address their weaknesses throughout the whole course. Assignments are presented to students in the form of a time constrained assignment or home assignment or a mix of both.

1. Manage teams working on installaton and maintenance of equipment and systems
2. Apply mathematical, scientific and programming methods to find appropriate solutions to engineering problems
3. Install, test and maintain electrical systems and plant to required specifications
4. Investigate power generation and energy management systems and suggest feasible solutions to set specifications.
