Well lads, any change in progress! Engineering science completed, got a merit overall, 1 pass and 3 distinctions! Happy enough! had my end of module interview as well which went well! Anyone start analytical methods for engineers (AME) yet?
 
Well done Sparkymalarky! Good effort. What sort of format did the interview take and was it hard?

Fortunately i've already passed Analytical methods at previous college, found it quite tough but still got through it.
 
It was very informal to be honest! But you do need to know what you done, he asked me to explain 2 questions, 1 of 2 different Tma's then he asked me about the ones I got wrong! But it was grand! Struggling with AME to be honest!! So your not doing AME then with Teesside? Lucky sod lol
 
I did my first 4 modules day release at college and without a doubt everyones worst module was AME, the target was just to pass as best we could and that was when you had someone to ask every week for help as well. I have a book, Engineering through mathematics by Singh, very good for our line of work and puts it across well.
 
Guys,

anyone else received the letter about having to complete 2 modules a year from september onwards? No more excuses now, gonna have to crack on regardless.
 
Hi mate,
Yes, they made me aware.
Still its a good thing and like you say means we will have to crack on.:)


Managed to finsih off TMA4 so on with AME.
 
I feel your pain with AME guys, it was hard when i did it. I'm not going to say i can definitely help because i did it at a different college but if you guys PM me the questions if you get stuck i will see if i can help:)
 
Guys, I've just read this thread as I've decided that when I can I'm going to try and do as you have. My level of respect for your commitment is 100[%. Once time and money are sorted in the not too distant future I'll try Teesside. I've never done A levels, what's the min requirements and what are the bridging modules if needed? HNC over HND? Did you have to buy software etc?
 
I never did A-levels, the engineering science stuff varies from easy reminder from apprentice level to never seen before difficult. HND is just more modules, i think you can do the HNC and then do more modules afterward to top up to an HND. The Analytical maths is difficult though and requires lots of patience and commitment. I would think that you will have to do the maths bridging module.
The main thing about passing an HNC whether home learning as i am now or at day release college which i have done in the past is just finding the time and keeping motivated.
Hope this helps
 
Thanks for your info smk75. I've gotta get stuff in order so as not be side tracked whilst in full study mode. Would you or anyone know of anything to research and get into that might help before I actually start?
 
Sledge,

i use 2 very good books but i paid a lot initially for them but a quick scan on amazon/ebay they look a lot cheaper now:[h=1]Engineering Mathematics Through Applications by singh &[/h]Electrical circuit theory and technology 3rd edition by John Bird

If you worked through these books and self assessments you will get an idea of what the HNC will be like. You wont need to do all of the books, it gets pretty heavy the further in but iv'e used both mine whilst doing the HNC for reference and info and will continue to do so.

Obviously there are other books and authors but these are mine main 2.
 
Alright new forum member here, glad I found this thread!

Alongside an electrical maintenance apprenticeship, I have recently completed;

BTEC level 3 subsidiary (2012)
BTEC level 3 / HNC bridging course (2013)

I am looking to continue on with my qualifications on the academic side and enroll onto the HNC. Unfortunately my employer has backtracked on the original plan and has now decided they will not give me time off to do so. So the only option is to do the online learning through Teesside University (which is actually where I live).

I felt reasonably comfortable with the BTEC courses and didn't really require much effort at college to complete them. Although I am concerned that the online learning is a different ball game and I will struggle with both the increase in difficulty and the lack of support. So I'm going to have a read through this thread and I predict I'll be visiting quite often and fingers crossed, if I'm finding it tough I may have the option to pop into the Uni, who knows.

Cheers.
 
Nice one, I haven't needed any software apart from MS word and excel but that isn't a requirement i think some people submit their assignments hand written.
 
Absolutely no need for software and don't even try to type out your formulae and calculations as it will be more hassle than its worth! Hand write, scan them in, submit and move on to the next one! I spent enough money and time on the course without forking out for some guff piece of software! Submitted AME TMA 1 last night, almost half way through!
 
Anyone able to put up what they're working on? Waiting to hear back from Teeside and tbh a bit worried I'm gonna be outta my depth. Wish I'd done it a couple of years ago given the price hike.
 
Try now sm75k, cleared my inbox now! Go on to Teesside website sledgehammer and look at all the information provided on the course, it's all on there! That's how I found out about it! Then go sites like physics forum etc, they will give you an indication of what each module and subject entails! Common sense approach!
 
Hi Gents,

Just back on after a while away. I see that some of you are on AME congrats on passing ENS................. Ive started the first TMA of ANE and having a heavy time of it. Anyone still doing ENS? Im happy to help where i can
 
Wish i could mate, your a machine with this stuff, i'm just finishing TMA 4 of ES. I've really been putting the hours in as well. I cant believe it's taken me over a year! I'm hoping some of the other modules might be a bit easier going.
 
Hello everyone.

I'm just doing my Design and Verification at the moment. Then I will be wanting to do my HNC via Teesside.

Work will never allow me day release unfortunately.

Looking forward to contributing to this thread.
 
Been thinking about doing this course for better job prospects. Im an approved spark with AS level maths. what criteria do you need to get on the course and what is the rough cost and timeframe? Any help appreciated

I have spent 4 months doing this module, yes it was very hard. Now I am told that I must complete 2 modules a year othrwise I am off the course.

Anyway 4 distinctions, now the phonecall to complete the module.
 
Don't see how you can enrol on a course to be told you have five years to complete it (hope to be finished before that anyway but still) to be then told 8 months into the course that unless you complete 2 modules a calendar year you will be kicked off the course. 2modules a year at 8 modules is 4 years. Bit Harsh. Pressures on now but that's ok because pressure is for tyres :D
 
I enrolled when each module was £200. The modules are now £500, which means this current government has withdrawn the funding. So to try and kick you off, they say you must do 2 modules a year.
 
hi guys/girls hows everyone doing.. hows everyone getting on with there hnc.. just finished eng science and AME and now just started electrical principles.
 
Hi everyone,

I completed the analytical methods module a few month ago and have just got round to the engineering science module. If anyone needs help with the maths and can perhaps help me with the first engineering science I would appreciate it.
