Basically a sandwich degree for Engineering courses is a year spent working for an Engineerng company appropriate to your course. For off Road it would apply to comapnies like JCB, Terex or Case New Holland, obviously it;s to help gain experience, something for the CV and to open up a chance for a permanant job at the cmpany once you graduate. HND people have thiers second year, with one more year back at Uni before graduation. I am doing a 4 year course so next year I am at Uni then off to seek a placement. I get paid to do it, and I get my own place.
