Getting The Most From Your BTECE

BTEC First Engineering
Getting the most from your BTEC

If you want to succeed at your BTEC you need to think about yourself and how your personality might
influence the type of job you want to do. You also need to think about the skills you already have and
those you need to develop.
Knowing yourself
How would you describe yourself? Make some notes here.
.................................................................................................................................................................
.................................................................................................................................................................
.................................................................................................................................................................

If you described yourself to someone else, would you be able to sum up your temperament and
personality, identify your strengths and weaknesses and list your skills? If not, is it because youve
never thought about it or because you honestly dont have a clue?
Learning about yourself is often called self-analysis. You may have already done personality tests or
careers profiles. If not, there are many available online. However, the information you gain from these
profiles is useless unless you can apply it to what you are doing.
Your personality
Everyone is different. For example, some people:
like to plan in advance; others prefer to be spontaneous
love being part of a group; others prefer one or two close friends
enjoy being the life and soul of the party; others prefer to sit quietly and feel uncomfortable at
large social gatherings
are imaginative and creative; others prefer to deal only with facts
think carefully about all their options before making a decision; others follow their gut instincts
and often let their heart rule their head.

Case study: Overcoming your doubts

Before starting on her BTEC First in Engineering, Nadia was not sure how well she would cope. The
units looked fine but she was worried about how she would get on with others in the group and with
her teachers. She was also unsure about work experience. Nadia is a very independent person and
does not react well to having to obey rules and regulations this could be a problem for someone in
an engineering working environment.
Nadia had a bit of a reputation at school for promising to do something for someone and then letting
them down by forgetting about it or getting too involved in doing her own thing. Being able to prioritise
activities and come up with a strategy for achieving success also presented problems for Nadia.
However, despite these worries, Nadia completed her BTEC First last year achieving several Merit
and Distinction grades. She also received a commendation from her teacher for making really good
progress and getting the best work experience report. The company has offered her an
apprenticeship and she starts on a National programme next year.
I had a great time on the BTEC First it made me realise that I can work as a member of a team, be
reliable, get things done on time and work to a specification. I now really want to progress as an
engineer. What I have learnt on the First will help me on my new course because it is assessed in the
same way.

Personalities in the workplace

Theres a mix of personalities in most workplaces. Some people prefer to work behind the scenes,
such as many IT practitioners, who like to concentrate on tasks they enjoy doing. Others love highprofile jobs, where they may often be involved in high-pressure situations, such as paramedics and
television presenters. Most people fall somewhere between these two extremes.
In any job there will be some aspects that are more appealing and interesting than others. If you have
a part-time job you will already know this. The same thing applies to any course you take!
Your personality and your BTEC First course

Understanding your personality means you can identify which parts of your course you are likely to
find easy and which more difficult. Working out the aspects you need to develop should be positive.
You can also think about how your strengths and weaknesses may affect other people.
Natural planners find it easier to schedule work for assignments.
Extroverts like giving presentations and working with others but may overwhelm quieter team
members.
Introverts often prefer to work alone and may be excellent at researching information.

BTEC fact
All BTEC First courses enable you to develop your personal, learning and thinking skills (PLTS),
which will help you to meet new challenges more easily.
Activity: What is your personality type?

1a) Identify your own personality type, either by referring to a personality test you have done recently
or by going online and doing a reliable test.
Print a summary of the completed test or write a brief description of the results for future
reference.
b)
Use this information to identify the tasks and personal characteristics that you find easy or difficult.
Task/personal characteristic
Easy
Difficult
Being punctual
Planning how to do a job
Working neatly and accurately
Being well organised
Having good ideas
Taking on new challenges
Being observant
Working with details
Being patient
Coping with criticism

Which thing from your difficult list do you think you should work on improving first? Start by
identifying the benefits you will gain. Then decide how to achieve your goal.

Your knowledge and skills

You already have a great deal of knowledge, as well as practical and personal skills gained at school,
at home and at work (if you have a part-time job). Now you need to assess these to identify your
strengths and weaknesses.
To do this accurately, try to identify evidence for your knowledge and skills. Obvious examples are:
previous qualifications
school reports
occasions when you have demonstrated particular skills, such as communicating with customers
or colleagues in a part-time job.
Top tips
The more you understand your own personality, the easier it is to build on your strengths and
compensate for your weaknesses.
Activity: Check your skills

Case study: Building on previous skills and experience

John has had part-time jobs since his early teens. He started with a paper round. As he is a good
communicator, his boss then suggested that he should organise the deliveries of papers and work
behind the counter at the weekend.
John ran a small team of delivery people; most were close friends and went to his school. John
showed that he was good at sorting out problems, covering a round when one of the delivery team
was late or could not come in because of illness, and offering customers an alternative paper when
the distributors had supply problems.
When the owner of the shop took a holiday, a relief manager was hired to run the business. However,
often this person was not fully familiar with the rounds and it was left to John to sort out any
problems.
John gave up his part-time job last September. He is now employed as an apprentice with a local
engineering company and is taking the BTEC First in Engineering by attending college one day a
week.
When I answered a job advertisement for the apprenticeship, the company asked for a full CV. This
meant that I had to tell them about previous qualifications, school reports, sports, hobbies and life
skills. I thought it would be useful to tell them about my experiences of working for the newsagent,
which proved that I am a team player. This is something that is very important if you are going to be a
good engineer.
Managing your time

Some people are brilliant at managing their time. They do everything they need to and have time left
over for activities they enjoy. Other people complain that they dont know where the time goes.
Which are you? If you need help to manage your time and most people do you will find it here.
Why time management is important
It means you stay in control, get less stressed and dont skip important tasks.
Some weeks will be peaceful, others will be hectic.
The amount of homework and assignments you have to do will vary.
As deadlines approach, time always seems to go faster.
Some work will need to be done quickly, maybe for the next lesson; other tasks may need to be
done over several days or weeks. This needs careful planning.
You may have several assignments or tasks to complete in a short space of time.
You want to have a social life.
Avoiding time-wasting
We can all plan to do work, and then find our plans go wrong. There may be several reasons for this.
How many of the following do you do?
Top time-wasting activities

1
Allowing (or encouraging) people to interrupt you.
Not having the information, handouts or textbook you need because youve lost them or lent
them to someone else.
Chatting to people, making calls or sending texts when you should be working.

Getting distracted because you simply must keep checking out MySpace, Facebook or emails.
Putting off jobs until they are a total nightmare, then panicking.
Daydreaming.
Making a mess of something so you have to start all over again.
Planning and getting organised

The first step in managing your time is to plan ahead and be well organised. Some people are
naturally good at this. They think ahead, write down their commitments in a diary or planner, and store
their notes and handouts neatly and carefully so they can find them quickly.
How good are your working habits?
Improving your planning and organisational skills

2924 Use a diary or planner to schedule working times into your weekdays and weekends.
2925 Have a place for everything and everything in its place.
2926 Be strict with yourself when you start work. If you arent really in the mood, set a shorter time
limit and give yourself a reward when the time is up.
2927 Keep a diary in which you write down exactly what work you have to do.
2928 Divide up long or complex tasks into manageable chunks and put each chunk in your diary
with a deadline of its own.
2929 Write a to do list if you have several different tasks. Tick them off as you go.
2930 Always allow more time than you think you need for a task.

Case study: Getting yourself organised

Robin was very disorganised and had great difficulty making progress at school. He was forever
losing his homework diary and would often arrive in class without the correct folder, textbook and

writing materials. Robins teachers got very annoyed and were always sending notes home about his
behaviour.
The programme manager for the BTEC First in Engineering had great reservations about allowing
Robin onto the course and suggested that he receive additional support from a mentor. Hopefully,
this would prevent Robin getting into difficulties when building a portfolio of evidence.
At first, Robin isnt too happy about being singled out for special attention. However, as the course
progresses, he soon realises that this additional support is helping him to achieve far more than he
had ever done at school. He notes, Once you get properly organised its not rocket science to plan
when to do a job, build a portfolio and keep up to date with your work.
One of the managers I met while on work experience explained the mentoring system used for new
employees. Its designed to prevent time-wasting. They had a big problem with people sending
personal texts and emails during company time. They tried banning mobile phones and stopping staff
from accessing the internet. This didnt work because some employees worked away from landline
phones and others needed to use the internet for finding information and placing orders. The
company set up strict rules that everyone had to keep to we have similar rules that apply when
attending college.
Top tips
If you become distracted by social networking sites or email when youre working, set yourself a time
limit of 10 minutes or so to indulge yourself.
BTEC fact
If you have serious problems that are interfering with your ability to work or to concentrate, talk to
your teacher. There are many ways in which BTEC learners who have personal difficulties can be
supported to help them continue with their studies.
Activities: Managing time

1
The correct term for something you do in preference to starting a particular task is a displacement
activity. In the workplace this includes things like often going to the water cooler to get a drink,
and constantly checking emails and so on online. People who work from home may tidy up, watch
television or even cook a meal to put off starting a job.
Write down your top three displacement activities.

Activity: Getting things done on time

It takes careful planning to design, manufacture and sell engineering products to meet target dates. It
is no good spending time and money developing a new product if a delay results in a competitor
reaching the marketplace first with a similar or superior product.
Life in general is all about getting things done on time. For example, you will need to complete your
BTEC assignments by the due dates.
Can you think of a situation where someone got in first and stole a march on you?
How should you have planned things to avoid being overtaken in this way?
Engineering is a complex business and many people who work in the industry have to multi-task.
Can you multi-task?
If your answer is a strong yes, then describe a recent situation where you multi-tasked.
Here are some key statements associated with using time to best effect.
What do you think each of them means?
Planning
Getting organised
Avoiding timewasters
Time management
Procrastination
Pick one of the positive phrases planning, getting organised and time management - and describe
how you would do this in an engineering situation. Then suggest how you would avoid time-wasters or
overcome procrastination.
Suppose you work in the planning department of a company that manufactures car sound systems.
These are sold in accessory shops such as Halfords. A major retailer places a large order that is to be
delivered over a 12-month period. Identify, and briefly explain, five pieces of information that will you
need in order to plan the successful manufacture and delivery of the product?

Top tips
Teamworking and bouncing ideas off other people produces quicker and better results than working
in isolation. Teamworking is actively encouraged in engineering businesses.
Getting the most from work experience

On your BTEC First courses, you may be required to do a work placement. If so, you need to prepare
for it so that you get the most out of it. The checklists in this section will help.
BTEC fact
If you need specific evidence from a work placement for a particular unit, your teacher may give you
a logbook or work diary, and will tell you how you will be assessed in relation to the work that you will
do.
Before you go checklist

1092 Find out about the organisation by researching online.
1093 Check that you have all the information youll need about the placement.
1094 Check the route you will need to take and how long it will take you. Always allow longer on the
first day.
1095 Check with your teacher what clothes are suitable and make sure you look the part.
1096 Check that you know any rules or guidelines you must follow.
1097 Check that you know what to do if you have a serious problem during the placement, such as
being too ill to go to work.
1098 Talk to your teacher if you have any special personal concerns.
1099 Read the unit(s) that relate to your placement carefully. Highlight points you need to remember
or refer to regularly.
1100 Read the assessment criteria that relate to the unit(s) and use these to make a list of the
information and evidence youll need to obtain.
1101 Your teacher will give you an official logbook or diary or just use a notebook. Make notes
each evening while things are fresh in your mind, and keep them safely.
While youre on work placement

Ideally, on your first day youll be told about the business and what youll be expected to do. You may
even be allocated to one particular member of staff who will be your mentor. However, not all firms
10

operate like this, and if everyone is very busy, your induction may be rushed. If so, stay positive and
watch other people to see what theyre doing. Then offer to help where you can.
Try this
Youre on work experience. The placement is interesting and related to the job you want to do.
However, youve been watching people most of the time and want to get more involved. Identify three
jobs you think you could offer to do.
.............................................................................................................................................................
.............................................................................................................................................................
.............................................................................................................................................................
While youre there

2008 Arrive with a positive attitude, knowing that you are going to do your best and get the most out
of your time there.
2009 Although you may be nervous at first, dont let that stop you from smiling at people, saying
hello and telling them your name.
2010 Arrive punctually or even early every day. If youre delayed for any reason, phone and
explain. Then get there as soon as you can.
2011 If you take your mobile phone, switch it off when you arrive.
2012 If you have nothing to do, offer to help someone who is busy or ask if you can watch someone
who is doing a job that interests you.
2013 Always remember to thank people who give you information, show you something or agree
that you can observe them.
2014 If youre asked to do something and dont understand what to do, ask for it to be repeated. If
its complicated, write it down.
2015 If a task is difficult, start it and then check back that you are doing it correctly before you go
any further.
2016 Obey all company rules, such as regulations and procedures relating to health and safety and
using machinery, the use of IT equipment and access to confidential information.
2017 Dont rush off as fast as you can at the end of the day. Check first with your mentor or
supervisor whether you can leave.
Coping with problems

Problems are rare but can happen. The most common ones are being bored because youre not given
any work to do or upset because you feel someone is treating you unfairly. Normally, the best first step
is to talk to your mentor at work or your supervisor. However, if youre very worried or upset, you may
prefer to get in touch with your teacher instead do it promptly.
Top tips
Observing people who are skilled at what they do helps you learn a lot, and may even be part of your
assignment brief.
Getting experience of work in engineering

If you are taking part in work experience you should find out about your placement company so that on
your first day you:
know what to expect
11

are able to talk to people in a knowledgeable and interested way
will create a good impression with employees who are giving up their time to help you.
Complete the table to provide a checklist of information that you might need.
Information needed
Where could you find the information?
Full company name of the

business
Address
Is it a UK or global business?
For how many years has the
business been established?
What products are
manufactured at the site
where you will be placed?
What types of customer does
the business sell to?
What was the value of
company sales last year?
Does the company have
competitors making the same
type of product/s?
How many people work on
site?
What is the name of the
person with overall
responsibility for the site?
What is the name of the
person responsible for
manufacturing or engineering
at the site?
What manufacturing
processes or engineering
activities are carried out on
the site?
Who will be meeting you on
your first day and how do you
keep in contact?
What do you need to bring
with you on your first day?
12

Your teacher may give you an assignment that involves finding information and presenting it as a
report. During your work placement it is a good idea to keep an accurate record of your activities while
you are on site and the people you meet.
Keeping a diary or logbook is a good way of recording what you did. It may be paper based or in an
electronic format. Either way, its layout needs to be designed. Use the space below to design the
layout.
13

Suppose your work experience placement has been successfully completed and you are asked to
report back to the other members of your class or teacher group. You decide to prepare a short
PowerPoint presentation.
Design the content and layout for each slide. Note, that you do not have to make the presentation, but
just design each slide.

Working with other people

BTEC fact
An important part of your BTEC course is learning how to work positively and productively with other
people.
Everyone finds it easy to work with people they like and far harder with those they dont. On your
course youll often be expected to work as a team to do a task. This gives you practice in working with
different people.
You will be expected to:
contribute to the task
listen to other peoples views
adapt to other peoples ways of working
take responsibility for your own contribution
agree the best way to resolve any problems.
These are quite complex skills. It helps if you understand the benefits to be gained by working
cooperatively with other people and know the best way to achieve this.
The benefits of good working relationships and teamwork
Golden rules for everyone (including the team leader!)

The secret of a successful team is that everyone works together. The role of the team leader is to
make this as easy as possible by listening to peoples views and coordinating everyones efforts. A
team leader is not there to give orders.
15

Top tips
Being a good team member means putting the groups needs before your own.
Positive teamwork checklist
Be loyal to your team, including the team leader.
Be reliable and dependable at all times.
Be polite. Remember to say please and thank you.
Think before you speak.
Treat everyone the same.
Make allowances for individual personalities. Give people space if they need it, but be ready to
offer support if they ask for it.
Admit mistakes and apologise if youve done something wrong learn from it but dont dwell on
it.
Give praise when its due, give help when you can and thank people who help you.
Keep confidences, and any promises that you make.
Try this
Work out whether youre usually passive, assertive or aggressive when youre annoyed. Youve
arranged to meet Sam to see a film. He arrives 20 minutes late. Do you:
a)
shrug and say nothing in case he gets upset
b)
ask why he didnt text you to give you warning
c)
say that its the last time youll ever go anywhere with him and walk off?
Which do you think would be the most effective and why?

Case study: Teamworking in engineering

Ryan is one of those people who to likes to take charge. He sees himself as a natural team leader.
Out of school he is a member of a youth group and, although he has the best of intentions, he
sometimes upsets younger members by not listening to them and then making one-sided decisions.
His school form teacher used the words control freak in his last end-of-term report a bit harsh but
to the point. But when a job needs to be done, call on Ryan.
When he started on the BTEC First in Engineering, the programme manager had a long talk with
Ryan and between them they set out ground rules for teamworking. Since being on the course Ryan
has adapted his style of management very well, so much so that when a teacher asks for someone
to lead a team its not always Ryan who puts his hand up first.
One of the things Ive learnt from doing the BTEC First is that engineering requires a team effort from
people with different skill sets. Things progress much better if decisions are made on an agreed
basis. Everyone in a team will have particular strengths, and it is up to the leader to make best use of
them.
Yes, you do need someone to lead and make strategic decisions but these should always be done
on an informed basis. I still want to be a senior manager, but in future I will think before I speak, treat
everyone the same and be loyal to the team.
16

Getting the most from special events

BTEC First courses usually include several practical activities and special events. These enable you to
find out information, develop your skills and knowledge in new situations, and enjoy new experiences.
They may include visits to external venues, visits from specialist speakers, and team events.
Most learners enjoy the chance to do something different. Youll probably look forward to some events
more than others. If youre ready to get actively involved, youll usually gain the most benefit. It also
helps to make a few preparations!
Case study: Building links with people in industry

When Pawel started on the BTEC First programme, he thought he would be seeing only his teachers
and other group members on a daily basis. Life would be similar to his earlier years at school.
After a few days, Pawel realised that there was much more to the course than just studying units. To
make things interesting and relevant, the programme manager told him that engineers from local
industry would be talking to the group about their job roles. Having established links with engineering
businesses, Pawel and his colleagues would use them when researching information for some of
their assignments.
I now realise the importance of getting help from people working in industry when I am finding
information for assignments. It is good to know that what I am being taught will be useful when I get a
job as an engineer. I like the mix of classroom teaching and being in contact with people working in
the industry.
When I started on the programme, I was nervous about talking about technical things to people older
than me in case I got something wrong I didnt want to look stupid. Developing my personal,
learning and thinking skills has helped a lot, and I now feel much more relaxed when talking to
visitors from industry.
Recently, my teacher put me in charge of organising a guest presentation it worked really well and
I enjoyed doing it. Afterwards, the engineer asked if I would be interested in applying for an
apprenticeship with his company. He said to give him a call after talking it through with my family.
Special events checklist
Check you understand how the event relates to your course.
If a visit or trip is not something you would normally find very interesting, try to keep an open
mind. You might get a surprise!
Find out what youre expected to do, and any rules or guidelines you must follow, including about
your clothes or appearance.
Always allow enough time to arrive five minutes early, and make sure youre never late.
On an external visit, make notes on what you see and hear. This is essential if you have to write
about it afterwards, use your information to answer questions in an assignment or do something
practical.
If an external speaker is going to talk to your class, prepare a list of questions in advance.
Nominate someone to thank the speaker afterwards. If you want to record the talk, its polite to
ask first.
For a team event, you may be involved in planning and helping to allocate different team roles.
Youll be expected to participate positively in any discussions, to talk for some (but not all) of the
time, and perhaps to volunteer for some jobs yourself.
Write up any notes you make as soon as you can while you can still understand what you
wrote!

At the last minute, youre asked to propose a vote of thanks to a visiting speaker on behalf of your
class. What would you say?
