Engineering Science

Engineers are professional problem solvers. They use their knowledge and skills in science and mathematics as well as their specialist engineering skills to create ingenious solutions to complex problems. The main branches of engineering are:


  • Electronic Engineering
  • Electrical Engineering
  • Software / Control Engineering
  • Structural Engineering
  • Mechanical Engineering
  • Civil Engineering
  • Chemical Engineering
Intro to new N4-5 Engineering Science.pptx

There are many sub-branches of engineering including transport, subsea, oil and gas, renewables, construction, biomechanics, aerospace and aviation, artificial intelligence and robotics to name just a few. In simple terms, an education in engineering can take you anywhere in the world!

Throughout this course you will use a Data Booklet from the SQA which contains valuable engineering information including equations and numerical data. In class tests and that National 5 exam you will also have access to this data booklet:
