T Level in Engineering Design & Development for Engineering & Manufacturing

Engineering is at the heart of innovation, shaping the technologies, products and infrastructure that keep the world moving. The T Level in Engineering Design & Development is designed for students who want to solve complex problems, develop new ideas and contribute to the future of engineering and manufacturing. Combining technical knowledge with practical application, this industry-focused qualification helps students build the skills, confidence and experience needed to progress into higher education, apprenticeships or a wide range of careers within the engineering sector.

What is a T Level?

T Levels are new two-year course which will follow on from GCSEs and are equivalent to three A Levels. These two-year courses have been developed in collaboration with employers and businesses so that the content meets the needs of industry and prepares learners like you for work.

Every T Level includes an in-depth industry placement lasting a minimum of 45 days. Where students will get invaluable experience in the workplace leading to an employer set project.

Year 1: Core Component

Core Component

In the first-year students will cover a range of core content and work on a project.

The project is made up of a number of tasks which all relate to the same employer-set project brief linking to:

  • Research
  • Design
  • Plan
  • Present

Year 2: Occupational Specialism in Mechanical Engineering

In year two students will develop the skills to:

  • Analyse and interpret engineering and manufacturing requirements, systems, processes, technical drawings and specifications.
  • Evaluate systems, designs, components and processes, managing and integrating design information, proposals and specifications, to develop and improve mechanical engineering and manufacturing proposals and solutions.
  • Propose and design mechanical engineering and manufacturing systems, products, components, processes and solutions, considering requirements, constraints and context.
  • Collaborate to help manage, develop, test and quality assure mechanical engineering and manufacturing design information, systems, processes and outcomes.
  • Communicate proposals, design information and solutions, producing, recording and explaining engineering and manufacturing representations, systems, processes, outcomes, specifications and technical drawings.
