I am currently studying for my HND in manufacturing engineering where I am constantly improving my skills as an engineer and preparing myself for a job in engineering design. The course only goes so far in teaching the use of solid works and I find that there is a lot of features solid works offers that were overlooked. However I have found the time to teach myself the more advanced features of solid works with the use of tutorials I found online. Below are a list of units I have taken throughout my course. Robotics, Advanced CAD, CAM (Computer aided machining), CAD/CAM, Mechanical & Electrical principals, Health & Safety in the workplace, SPCs (Statistical process control), Analytical methods for engineers, Business management techniques, PLCs (Programmable logic controllers), Business improvement techniques, Engineering project, APH (Application of pneumatics and hydraulics), Mechatronics, Planning and scheduling, Quality assurance, Application of machine tools, Energy management.

When I was sure that I wanted to purse a career in engineering I thought the best route would be to go to NRC and do a course specific to my goals rather than to stay on and do my A-levels. I learnt a lot at my time there including knowledge of Auto CAD, below is a list of all of the units I did at my time in the course. Health and safety in the engineering workplace, Communications for engineering technicians, Mechanical principles and applications, Selecting and using Programmable logic controllers, Welding principles, Engineering Project, Electrical installation, Mathematics of engineering technicians, Electrical and electronic principles, Properties and applications of engineering materials, Electro, pneumatic and hydraulic systems and devices, Engineering drawing for technicians, Computer Aided Drafting in engineering, Engineering design, Fabrication processes and technology, Further mathematics for engineering technicians, Principals and applications of electronic devices and circuits,
