As a Building Services Engineering Degree Apprentice, you will work towards a BEng (Hons) in Building Services Engineering. The programme includes:
Part time day release: Apprentices attend university once a week
Formal lectures, study guides, course notes, directed reading, class tutorials, assignments, small group projects, workshops and laboratories.
Assessment of the academic element of this apprenticeship will consist of coursework, exams and timed assessments.
Employer focused contextual content
As a Building Services Engineer degree apprentice, first we’ll teach you the fundamental scientific principles that support mechanical and electrical building services. Following this, you’ll explore in more depth how to operate and control heating, ventilation, and air conditioning. In the final year, we’ll focus on sustainability: the dynamic thermal performance of buildings, energy resources, combined heat and power, wind power generation and lighting and electrical systems.
We set lots of design projects to simulate a working environment and you can expect to use computer modelling techniques to optimise and refine your design proposals, as well as laboratory/workshop experiments.
This role may appeal to you if you enjoy:
Understanding how things work and improving them
Solving problems in different ways
Working with Control Systems (Coding Raspberry PI/Arduino, hacking consumer electronics, small audio electronic projects etc.)
Working with Mechanical Assemblies (Car/bike/clock maintenance, restoration, and modification etc.)
Working with Electrical Systems (Home electrical maintenance, changing sockets/light fittings, vehicle electrical systems)
Interest in learning / improving practical applications
Applying engineering principles into real life scenarios
