COURSE INTRODUCTION
The Study Path
This highly technical and practical course has been designed by South West College in partnership with the University of Ulster and local industry to equip students for technician level work within the engineering industry. It is ideal for those looking to upskill or re-skill and advance within this sector. The course is tailored to allow students to focus on core engineering disciplines and skills while having the option to specialise in one of three major growth industries:
< < < < < < < < < <
< Wind Turbine Technology < Industrial Electronics < Motorsport Technology
Specialist Resources and Facilities South West College is a modern dynamic College that offers students on this Foundation Degree a broad range of modern, industry standard training resources and facilities. These include: < < < < < < < < < < <
PLC Wind Simulator 200KW Wind Turbine Wind Tunnel Wind Turbine Blade Simulator Wind Assessment Data Logger Kits Gearbox Training System Bespoke Training Rigs for Hydraulics and Pneumatics Vehicle Workshops 3D Rapid Prototyper for 3D modelling PCB Milling Machine for Circuit Boards 3D Scanner for Reverse Engineering
Entry Requirements The standard entry criteria for this courses: < A Level - C/D minimum < BTEC National Diploma in a relevant subject with majority passes at Merit Level < Irish Leaving Cert â&#x20AC;&#x201C; BCCC minimum < A minimum of 2 passes at grade C or above in Scottish Higher OR < Mature candidates who cannot offer any of the above will be assessed for admission on the basis of their appropriate skills and knowledge. In addition to these criteria, candidates must have achieved GCSE Maths and English (or equivalent) at Grade C or above and must be aged at least 18 years at the date of entry.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:
The Core Units of study that provide the foundation for the specialism selection are as follows: Mathematics for Engineering Workshop Practices Project IT & CAD Engineering Science Electrical and Electronic Principles Materials and Manufacturing Processes Computer Aided Design and Engineering Programmable Controllers Business Improvement and Entrepreneurship
Specialism 1 Wind Turbine Technology At a time of economic stagnation the renewable energies market is one area that is forecast for significant sustained growth. This pathway covers all aspects of delivering energy from wind with the aim of providing fully trained technicians highly sought after by industry. The Units of Study: < Safety Practices for Renewable Installations < Power Generation, Transmission and Utilisation of Electrical Energy < Site Design for Wind Turbines < Mechanical Technology < Social and Economic Aspects of Renewable Energy < Hydraulics and Pneumatics

Specialism 2 Industrial Electronics
Specialism 3 Motorsport Technology
Industrial Electronics is an integral part of the control and automation of manufacturing plants and quarry equipment. This course has been designed in partnership with industry to meet local needs for competent technicians qualified to operate at the leading edge of this field. Upon completion of this course, graduates will be able to design and maintain electronic equipment, pneumatic and hydraulic systems and programmable controllers.
Over the past few years there has been a significant increase in the number of small to medium motorsport companies in the UK and Ireland, mainly due to worldwide recognition gained from hosting the World Rally Championships. This specialist course is designed to meet the needs of the motorsport industry by delivering a tailor made technician level qualification that will provide students with a unique competitive edge for employment.
