Millburn Academy CDT Department have worked hard to be able to offer students with as many pathways as possible to help allow for students to get the best possible experience from their time at school. We currently offer the core Technology based National Qualifications that the SQA provide. After making their choices in S3 its time for students to re-evaluate these choices to find the best possible route for them. N4/5 courses will directly affect what subjects they can take at Higher level and ultimately effect what jobs and further education prospects they have. Currently at Millburn Academy CDT we offer the following subjects at N4/5 Level:
This National 4/5 level course includes; CAD modelling, 2D/3D Sketching and technical drawing along with elements of Desk Top Publishing.
Graphics is a classroom based subject that suits those with high I.T. Literacy and good sketching and rendering skills. This course is excellent for those looking at Job routes like Architecture, Graphic Design or Engineering.
This National 4/5 level course requires students to design and make projects based on knowledge of aspects of design. Design is predominantly a classroom based subject but has elements of workshop actives and modelling requirements.
Design & Manufacture suits those that enjoy both the classroom and workshop based work. They should have good problem solving skill, enjoy sketching and rendering and also enjoy being in the workshop.
The National 5 Engineering Science course provides progression mainly from the craft, design, engineering and graphics experiences and outcomes. It also builds on some science experiences and outcomes, prior learning in mathematics and numeracy and aspects of technological developments in society. Engineering shapes the world in which we live, by applying elements of technology, science and mathematics to real-world challenges. Engineers play key roles in meeting the needs of society in fields that include climate change, medicine, IT and transport, and it is important there are more young people with an informed view of engineering.
This National 4/5 level course requires students to build wooden projects using working drawings. This course requires no design influence as projects are preset. Woodworking has a theory element that equates to 30% of their overall grade, the other 70% is gained through an end of year practical model.
Practical Woodworking suits students who just want to make projects using wood. Also any student who is looking for pathways into practical workplaces such as basic trade apprenticeships and jobs.
This National 4/5 level course requires students to build metal projects using working drawings. This course requires no design influence as projects are preset. Metalworking has a theory element that equates to 30% of their overall grade, the other 70% is gained through an end of year practical model.
Practical Metalworking suits students who just want to make projects using metal. Also any student who is looking for pathways into practical workplaces such as basic trade apprenticeships and jobs or welding and fabrication professions.
