BTEC engineering

'BTEC first award in Engineering: student book' covers Units 1, 2, 5, 6 7 and 8 so learners have relevant and specific content to complete the new next generation Pearson BTEC first award in engineering for level 2 learners.

This book:

  • Provides all the underpinning knowledge and understanding needed at level 2 to help learners prepare for the course
  • Activities in each unit provide support and guidance for learners, and can be used in the classroom or for independent work. 

The new BTEC assessment zone guides learners through the challenges of both internal and external assessment with grading tips and support for external assessment.

From 2012, Pearson's BTEC first qualifications have been under re-development, so schools and colleges could be teaching the existing 2010 specification or the new next generation 2012-2013 specification. There are different student books to support each specification. If learners are unsure, they should check with their teacher or tutor.

Units covered:

  • 1: The engineered world
  • 2: Investigating an engineered product
  • 5: Engineering materials
  • 6: Computer-aided engineering
  • 7: Machining techniques
  • 8: Electronic circuit design and construction.
