Year 12 Technology - Engineering

This course offers students a mechanical engineering and manufacturing pathway skills (MaPS). This course offers unit standard credits which include both theory and practical knowledge, and skills from an external provider; Competenz. The course may lead students toward a trades based pathway in mechanical engineering, automotive or related industries.

In this course students will make practical projects and learn basic mechanical engineering skills and knowledge (MaPS.) Complete engineering drawing and geometric shapes and perform simple fabrication operations in a MaPS environment.

Students may have the opportunity to complete a range of projects throughout the year and are assessed by teacher observation of students using safe and competent work practices, and completion of student work booklet. The projects include; 

• Students learning skills and gaining knowledge using a range of engineering procedures, hand-tools and machinery to make a game fishing reel

• Community or school based projects - students self-selected projects or jobs supplied by teacher/school

• Evolocity Challenge - electric vehicle competition

Your work will be assessed through both practical and written internal unit standards.

• Standard US32051 - Engineering drawings and geometric shapes - theory and practical (internal)

• Standard US32053 - Demonstrate knowledge and apply good work practices in a MaPS environment - practical (internal)

• Standard US32055 - Demonstrate knowledge and apply good work practices when performing simple fabrication in a MaPS environment - practical (internal)
