1. Higher National Engineering programmes Julie Winter Sub Degree Programme Coordinator 2nd July 2010

2. Edexcel • Teesside University is a licensed provider and as such has autonomy as far as the HN programmes are concerned. • We will not be using directly the Edexcel unit specificatons. • We will not be using the directly the programme structures for the HN programmes • We can refer to them for guidance

3. New HN structure HND 245 credits 16 modules • HNC • 125 credits • 8 modules Project module 20 credit

4. Overall Grade • There will be an overall grade for the HNC and HND based on a points system for individual module grades • This will be calculated by the University SITS system

5. Modules • L4 underpinning knowledge such as: Analytical Methods for Engineers Engineering Science • L5 further development such as: Mechanical Principles Project

6. Core Modules • Recommended 4 modules • Must include 20 credit Project module

7. Example:HNC Mechanical Engineering Core Modules L4 • Analytical Methods for Engineers • Engineering Science L5 • Mechanical Principles • Project

8. Elective Modules HNC • Maximum of 3 L5 HND • Minimum of 8 L5 To tailor HNC/D to suit local industry needs

9. Example HNC Mechanical Engineering Core Elective L4 Application of Pneumatics & Hydraulics Heat Transfer & combustion Fluid Mechanics Materials Engineering Mechatronics Systems Principles L5 Engineering Design Business Management Techniques Plant Services L4 • Analytical Methods for Engineers • Engineering Science L5 • Mechanical Principles L5 • Project L5 Plus 4 modules from electives (max of 1 additional L5 )
