New HNC In Electrical Engineering Course

This HNC course in Electrical Engineering by Open/Distance Learning is ideally suitable for those who are unable to attend college on either a full-time or part-time basis.

The course is designed on a flexible Open/Distance Learning basis.

There are no time limits placed on commencement or completion of the modules, students can progress at their own pace.

Thus fitting in with their commitments at home and at work.

The HNC in Electrical Engineering consists of CORE modules (compulsary units), a choice of a number of modules within the PRINCIPLES AND TECHNOLOGY group and the remainder from the large selection of OPTIONS modules that are available.

Shown below is a selection of the most common modules that many students study.

HNC - Electrical Engineering Core: Information Technology Applications 2, Communication: Presenting Complex Communication for Vocational Purposes, Fundamentals of Quality Assurance, Engineering Project Principles and Technology: Engineering Principles (Electrical), Electrical Plant (Protection), Electrical Plant (Machines), Engineering Principles (Electrical Networks) Electrical Services, Programmable Controllers, Distributed Control Systems Mathematics for Engineering Options: Vibration Analysis, Engineering Computing, Electrical Supply and distribution, etc (A choice of about 25 modules are available).

A student needs to obtain 12 credits to obtain a HNC in Electrical Engineering.

This course is accredited by SQA and on obtaining a HNC you can be eligible to up to 75% credit transfer towards the 1st year of a B.Eng degree in Multidiscipline Engineering course via an English University (also available by Open Learning, but with formal examinations) OR worth 120 points via the degree through the Open University.

It is a nationally and in many cases an internationally recognised engineering qualification.
