The OCR Engineering course is an exciting opportunity to dive into the world of design and innovation. Students will explore the process behind creating cutting-edge products, mastering design specifications, technical drawings, and computer-aided design (CAD). It’s the perfect way to gain practical skills and ignite creativity, preparing students for the fast-paced world of engineering and beyond.
Engineering design is a process used to identify market opportunities and solve problems that contribute to the development of new products and systems. This popular course is an opportunity for your students to study the processes involved in designing new engineered products and develop a design specification.
The course inspires and equips students with the confidence to use skills that are relevant to the sector and more widely. It covers the design process, types of drawings, influences on design, and the use of computer-aided design (CAD) in Engineering.
Level 1/Level 2 Cambridge National in Engineering Design consists of three units:
• R038: Principles of engineering design
• R039: Communicating designs
• R040: Design, evaluation and modelling
R038 is a written paper. The other units are NEA units.
This course is ideal for students aged 14 to 16 who are seeking a more practical and hands on approach to learning.
Progressions routes to: A Levels, apprenticeships or further advanced vocational qualifications at Level 3.
