Sixth form open evening and A-level choices suddenly looming large on the horizon! So, my DC wants to go into some sort of engineering at a good university - probably electronics (favourite GCSE)/elec. eng and so will definitely do Maths and Physics but not sure about the other two choices. Further maths, chemistry or biology maybe. And then there's the 'Systems and Control Technology' - what we're a bit puzzled by is why the school offers this but not Electronics at A-level, which would have seemed like the obvious choice. So I was wondering if anyone here had a DC who is doing it or has done it and how they'd rate it. I see that while the former is listed by AQA under Design and Technology, the Electronics comes under Science - so presumably there's a different emphasis.
The other possibility would be Computing, which they'll be doing for the first time next year (they started the Comp. Sci GCSE a couple of years back).

Has anyone's DC done A-level 'Systems and Control Technology'?
