About this course

The Pearson BTEC Higher National Diploma in Electrical and Electronic Engineering is offered by the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering at CINEC Campus. It runs for two years on weekdays or weekends, with a February start that can be taken while A-Level results are pending. Semester one covers engineering design, mathematics and science, programming, electrical and electronic principles and mechatronic systems in manufacturing. Semester two adds a professional engineering project, programmable logic controllers, further mathematics, industrial power electronics and storage, and industrial services. Semester three covers industrial systems, electrical machines and drives, an engineering project, professional engineering management and embedded systems. Three academic semesters are followed by a compulsory six-month industrial training period, which CINEC states is required for graduation from every BTEC HND. CINEC states that successful HND students can join the third year of the Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) BEng degree.
