2 ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING If you re looking to train as an electrician or electrical engineer, we have a range of courses to support you in your specialist training. Courses cover areas such as microelectronics, communications, signal processing, control systems and computers. You can study from entry level to HND, with fasttrack options to university. We offer both full and part-time study options to suit your needs. To prepare you for your future employment, you will be taught by staff with extensive experience in the electrical engineering industry. You will use up-to-date technology and equipment in industry standard workshops. We also work closely with key industry partners. These connections can help you to find part-time work, develop practical skills and seek employment after graduation. We encourage and support you in seeking relevant work experience to enhance your employability upon completion of your chosen course. Electrical workshops and a newly established electrical laboratory enables the team to deliver an interactive and practical element to all aspects of the electrical curriculum. PARTNERS I currently study Electrical Engineering at Edinburgh College. I am one of two girls on my course. Being a girl in engineering is no different as you are treated equally by the staff and students. I was quite hesitant at the start of my course but it was really easy to make friends. I would encourage any girl thinking about going into engineering to do it. BRODIE ARMSTRONG HND ELECTRICAL 01 Edinburgh College Electrical Engineering 02

3 ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING NC ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING WITH SKILLS FOR WORK (ENERGY) Edinburgh College runs an NC Electrical Engineering with Skills for Work (Energy) course within electrical engineering which attracts sponsorship from ScottishPower. Students receive 200 a month from ScottishPower on top of their bursary payment. Students attend college for 34 weeks and spend five weeks over two terms at ScottishPower s training facility at Cumbernauld. Here they are continually assessed for attendance, attitude and attainment, and dependant on business needs, the overall top performing students could be offered apprenticeships with ScottishPower. Last year was the second year of the course running and five students successfully moved onto apprenticeships with ScottishPower. SCOTTISH POWER The ScottishPower sponsored Engineering Foundation Programme is one of the many ways we are investing in young people. Students who attend this programme at Edinburgh College form part of ScottishPower s business strategy to grow our technical talent pipeline, as we address the challenges of replenishing our workforce in response to the skills shortage in Engineering. Please note this course is recruited by ScottishPower. For more information or to apply please contact Natalie Murphy e: nmurphy@scottishpower.com t: Edinburgh College Electrical Engineering 04
