FdSc Power Engineering (TMET)
Overview
Do you want to be part of an industry that is being transformed by renewable technologies and by the increased demand for electrical power? This two-year Foundation degree links directly with the skills needed by employers such as Northern Powergrid and Siemens.
The course combines broad-based engineering modules with specialist modules related to the power industry. The broad-based modules include ‘Engineering Principles’, ‘Electrical and Electronic Principles’, ‘Measurement and Control’ and ‘Electronics Systems’.
The specialist modules include ‘Power Plant Systems’ and ‘Power Distribution’. There is also a group project and an individual project that are specifically targeted at the power sector. Both of them are hands-on opportunities to put your new learning into practice. Like all foundation degrees, there is an emphasis on employability and skills that you can immediately use in the workplace.
