Hello,

I am currently considering starting this course too starting this May (2016) through open learning. I am currently electrician trained in the Army and I'm planning ahead really, so wondering how people got on with this course and whether it is a worthwhile course to have under your belt?

What sort of doors does this course open up for you? Also for anyone that has done this open learning style how did they find it?

I am willing to put alot of effort into this and smash it as quick as I can, I enjoy being in education although can't say I am the brightest when it comes to Mathematics :)

Hi
this is the first open learning course i have done. The maths is not that hard of you put the work in to it. But there is a lot of it.

Have you already started your course?

I am currently applying, trying to write a personal statement correctly is my first challenge :)

Been doing it for a good few months now. Im about half way through my second module. Done analytical method for engineers. Now doing engineering science. I wouldn't worry to much about the personal statement though. Did you have to do the bridging modules first?
 
I havent been made aware of the bridging module, literally just started application process yesterday to hopefully start course in May.

What criteria is used to determine whether you need to bridging course? My maths isn't amazing but I've done alot of maths in recent years during my trade training, no official quals though apart from C&Gs quals and the obvious GCSEs

Not sure about the criteria. But i had to do it because i had been out of education for 15 years. Its not that bad to be honest just 3 quick modules on algebra, trig and calculus.

I have the same qualifications mate GCSE and c&g electrical stuff . I am having to do the bridging maths module at that start of Feb.
 
I have just submitted the application now, hopefully get accepted. I don't mind starting with the maths module tbh if anything It will give me a good starting point via brushing up some rusty maths.

Looking forward to doing this course tbh hopefully open a couple more doors when I get it done.

Did you photocopy all your quals for the application? How long after submitting did you get accepted onto the course?
 
Got accepted on the course, however starting it in May as I'm currently working away til April. Anyways I am starting with the mathematics module..

After reading through this thread people have mentioned engineering mathematics by john bird is a good book to get, Is it worth getting the Higher Engineering Mathematics version ?

Hopefully when I start I can fly through the maths module

To anyone that has done the maths module, how long did it take you to do and do you have to get it done within a certain time?

Hi all
After a long break I decided I had better get going again..
Completed Maths, Eng Science and pneumatics so far, now just about to start Electrical Machines.
Anybody here done Elec Machines?

Oh man, motivation is difficult when the sun is still shining once you get home from work..

Hi there. I see you have completed engineering science. Im stuck on the very last question in tma4. Its about harmonics. Any chance of a little 'guidance'. Cheers.
 
hi guys just registered so fresh meat to have a chew at lol!
Im a qualified electrician have been for past 6 years so thought id up my game now and apply to do a HNC in electrical/electronic engineering get somewhere in life instead of the same old drone. Iv been accepted to do the hnc open learning at teeside uni although i have to complete a bridging module: Foundation Mathematics for Engineers, the joys! so i have paid the fee and im now enrolled starting it this week. :biggrin:

Does anyone have any helpful advice/info regarding the module? also how long should the module take to complete? was told by the uni i could start 1st module of HNC at same time as the bridging module to prevent a delay but wouldnt be able to progress to the 2nd hnc module until i have completed and passed the maths bridging module.

Hi,
Started the HNC Electrical/Electronic engineering via distance learning with Teesside uni, completed the maths bridging course and I'm currently on with Analytical Methods for Engineers TMA1 & TMA2.
Any help with the TMAs would be greatly appreciated and I can offer help with the maths bridging course if needed.
Currently struggling with time management, long hours at work and two little ones at home don't help.Thanks in advance.

Mark.

Hey Sparky2705 iv been accepted to do my HNC in Electrical/Electronic Engineering but unfortunately i need to do maths bridging module that iv just started today any pointers/valuable advice whats the best way to tackle it?
was told i can start hnc module 1 at same time although i need to pass it before i can progress to 2nd module, also how long does it take roughly to complete, just eager to get stuck right into my HNC.

Higher engineering mathematics by john bird. Really good book. The TMA questions are virtualy from the book.
 
What type of content does the bridging maths module have?

Im starting this on the May intake, so a heads up will be appreciated. Ive ordered the Engineering Maths by John Bird book too so hopefully start cracking through that before I start the actual module itself.

Content is split into 3 parts. Algebra, calculus and trig. Make sure you have ordered the 'higher' engineering mathematics book by john bird. He has also published a 'basic' engineering mathematics but this course is past that level so the higher one is required.
 
Hi guys, Just wondering if anybody can tell me how long it takes after completion of the last unit until you get confirmation of the qualification and certificate. I've just completed project (last unit) and would like proof of the qualification as I'm in the process of applying for a new job.
Cheers.

Anyone started the foundation mathematics module? Currently doing it seems ok to start with, working through the lessons before going into the TMA. What are people's goals for this course, also what are your modules that take your fancy to specialise in and what reason, any particular areas that are most desirable for industry?

At the min I'm just enjoying getting my head back into maths again it's been a while.
 
Hi guys new here. Have looked through every page of this thread. Great help I will be starting this course in a few months time. Really looking forward to it. Quick question has anyone carried on and completed the hnd or honours degree afther completing the hnc?
 
Hi all,

Been very lazy and have not dome anything for about 6 months so thought it about time to do a module. Jest completed "Semiconductor Structure and Fabrication".
Was a very short module and though I have not got all my results back can say it was pretty straightforward as well. If you want a quick and easy module this is definitely one.
Can someone suggest another short module? I need one more before the hellish Electronic principles and the project.
THanks
 
Hi guys, anyone doing PLC at present? Stuck on TMA3 Q2 redesigning the pelican crossing ladder. If anyone can shed any light on this I would be very grateful.
 
I'm currently enrolled at the Teeside university, been getting through a few modules and about to start the module in Programmable logic controllers. If anyone wants to exchange papers to see where each other went wrong and to stop people making similar mistakes let me know

Does anyone fancy swapping the plc assignments? Losing the will to live with it at the moment! Ive completed all the 4 core units, d and a electronics, safety engineering and engineering applications

Hi. You probably finished the course by now. But any chance for some help on the safety engineering module. Cheers

Hi Dave1989, apologies for the delay in replying but I haven't been on here for a long while.
The course set up has changed as I'm sure your aware by now, very much relaxed in regards to deadlines for TMAS etc, I think the usual is anywhere between 2 and 4 years for completion but depends on how quick you can work through them. I'm currently on with Electrical Electronic principles quite complicated in parts if I'm honest, I have completed a few units so may be able to offer some advice and vice versa if you want, feel free to private message me.
 
Hi,
I started the HNC Instrumentation & Control Engineering (which I believe is mostly the same modules as the electronics HNC) in September 16 with Teesside University Open Learning, after completing the Foundation Maths 'access' course.
I had a quiet year with work last year and this HNC is something I have always wanted to do, so I decided to enrol.
Then typically work picked up and I have worked continuously 12 hours per day, 7 days a week since September, it's been hard to fit in the modules, but I'm slowly getting through it.
Is anyone else on here doing the same course? It would be good to speak to or meet up (when I get home) with someone else who enrolled at a similar time, to work together and exchange ideas/help each other out (I'm NOT asking for the answers!).
I'm out of the UK at the moment, but when I do occasionally make it home, I live in Teesside.
Cheers
 
Hi,
I am did HNC as a part time study at Teesside University, I already have covered 10 modules. Now i am doing HND Teesside University Open Learning at the same, Electrical and Electronics Engineering, anyone here doing the same?
Would be good to check similarities on regards TMA.
Actually i am doing:
Electrical Supply and Distribution Systems
Application of Pneumatics and Hydraulics

Thanks

I have done that when i was doing part time study. Which modules more are you doing?

I have done that as a part time study, which modules have you done so far? I already done 10 modules for HNC and now doing TUOLE HND
 
Chispas,
I've done most of TMA1 for the science module and some of TMA1 for the analytics module, work has held back my progress quite a bit. I'm a bit hazy on maths so have sourced a maths tutor to bring up my knowledge, but haven't been home to meet up with him.
How are you finding the HND?

Hi chispas.
I am currently doing EEP, then most likely application of pneumatic's and hydraulics, then business management and then safety engineering and project, I still have one to choose to finish but I haven't decided yet, a relatively quick and short module to get it wrapped up this year I hope.
Sorry I forgot to mention that I have completed the bridging course, analytical methods and engineering science modules.
 
Hi,

I am currently studying the HNC through distance learning with Teesside after transferring from UNICOURSE, I have completed the following modules:
AME, EEP, ES, DADC, EM
Have just started PLC however I need to get some ideas for my project and choose my last module from either:
Electrical Supply and Distribution or Combinational And Sequential Logic
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
 
Hi Gents, I have just started the HNC with Teeside. I had to do the Maths bridging course which I believe I have completed and submitted about 4 weeks ago but none of my three assessments have been marked yet. How long does it take to get a response once you submit your answers?
 
Hi folks,

Recently enrolled with Teeside uni topping up my HNC to an HND. The first module I have signed up to is Engineering Science.
As others have said, I'm finding the mechanical aspect a bit challenging coming from an electrical background but it's slowly making sense(I think).

Currently working on TMA 1.

How long has it taken others to complete this whole module? I'm aware that I need to complete 2 modules per year and I feel I've spent way too much time working towards TMA 1.
 
Recently enrolled on HNC Distance Learning.

I submitted first two assignments of Analytical Methods to distinction grade and I'll probably submit assignment three by the end of this week. The maths is very similar to AS Level.

What would be the next module for me to purchase?
 
Hi guys, I've just started this course in mid september. Finished my first module AME. Found it just like being back in AS/A level maths so had no real issues and got a distinction overall so any questions just give me a shout, i'll be pretty proactive on here over the course of it! Just started engineering science and I can tell the first 2 modules are going to be grim but doesn't look any harder than AME! How are you finding Engineering Science so far @AyresomeBoro? I've just started reading the notes today. @Tom morgan I didn't have one for AME but usually it sounds like they just get you to walk through your answers and any incorrect ones see if you knew where you went wrong. Quite informal i think.

I haven't looked at it yet, have you started any assignments for it?

Not yet, currently gone through lessons 1, 2 and half of 3. Some of it's very easy to understand, other bits are bit like, i don't know what I've just learnt. Looks a bit of a grim start though, others have said ENS is a bit of a struggle till nearer the end, being electrically biased looking at mechanical concepts.
 
Hi all,
Just started TMA 01 for Engineering Science and my gosh does it make AME look simple. Anyone who has done it who can offer some advice or is doing it now and wishes to discuss how they've gone about it please feel free!
