Energy Systems with Renewable Energy HND is a full-time course taught at Edinburgh College’s Midlothian campus. The course will enhance students' knowledge in a range of modules from Pneumatics and Hydraulics to Engineering System Analysis. This course will give students the analytical skills needed for a job in the engineering systems industry. They will cover a range of essential areas in mechanical, electrical and systems engineering.

In year one, students will follow HNC Engineering Systems with Renewables. This course is designed to make sure students meet the varied needs of the industry. On progression to year two, students will begin their HND. The aim of this HND is to provide students with practical skills in advanced theories of engineering systems. Students will use the latest simulation and design software and study a variety of technical subjects including Principles of Engineering Systems, Renewable Energy Units and Computer Aided Design (CAD).

The course is taught by teachers with industry experience using the latest industry technologies and will give students an insight into the working environment of an engineer. They will be taught between Edinburgh College classrooms and workshops where they will gain essential and hands-on experience of the engineering sector.
