But as with any subject, there’s more than meets the eye. There is a lot more to AQA engineering skills course and plenty to learn from taking the course.

If you study AQA Engineering skills course you will learn about a variety of processes. These include how to create design briefs, how businesses convert design briefs to design specifications, and the application of technology to manufacturing.

Some of the main aims and objectives of this GCSE are to understand emerging technologies, learn about proper health and safety procedures, and be mindful of sustainable development.

Essentially there’s little you won’t do in AQA Engineering skills course , so if you do end up in an engineering-based career you’ll be familiar with a lot of the basic procedures. Also to  prepare you for a future career in engineering and therefore everything on the course is relevant to the industry.

  • This course is designed to give you an understanding of engineering basics.
  • It will teach you the theory behind engineering manufacturing processes as well as the testing and investigation which goes into creating a final product.
  • It is your choice whether you want to take an exam and gain a qualification in GCSE Engineering.

Students must also demonstrate mathematical knowledge and understanding, in relation to engineering. The maths skills and knowledge can be applied to the wider engineering content.

ASSESSMENT

Mock Assessment

Throughout the year, students would be required to complete topic tests and key assessments.
These tests and assessments would be designed to assess the student’s understanding of the
material and their ability to apply it.
Students are also expected to complete mock assessments before the Easter break.
The mock assessments would be designed to simulate the actual tests and assessments, allowing
students to practice and become familiar with the format and content. Additionally, the mock
assessments would provide feedback to the students, allowing them to identify areas of
improvement and focus their study / revision accordingly.
