Recommended Prior LearningThis course has no prerequisites; open entry for all.
This course is an engineering-based, industry standards course, and is designed to be delivered in school workshops using pre-moderated teaching and learning materials and requires practical projects from students.
The projects provide students with the opportunity to learn a range of practical engineering skills and techniques. Each of the engineering projects encompasses the tools, material requirements, competency, and knowledge outcomes listed in the qualification unit standards and provides a practical and stimulating experience for students.
What is taught in courses varies from year to year. This course could include:
The students will be making a Scooter, a project that includes measuring and marking out, machining and welding.
