Pearson BTEC Higher National Diploma (HND) in Mechanical Engineering

About this course

The Pearson BTEC Higher National Diploma in Mechanical Engineering is offered by the Department of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering at CINEC Campus over two years, on weekdays or weekends. Mechanical engineering applies physics and materials science to the analysis, design, manufacture and maintenance of mechanical systems. The unit list on the programme page is automotive in character: engineering design and mathematics, automotive fundamentals and workshop practices, hybrid and electric vehicle technologies, vehicle electrical and electronics, structures and materials, aerodynamics, a research project, and engine and vehicle design performance. Applicants should confirm the current unit list with CINEC. 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 lists discounts of 5% for paying a year's fee upfront and 6% for paying both years upfront.
