NCEA Level 1 Engineering
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mr K. Wilson
Students who take this course will complete a full year in the workshop environment. Within the year they will undertake a minimum of 2 Engineering Projects, all of which will contribute to the student's folio of work. Students will research and design a product and to then plan and produce their design as a working prototype. Students participating in this course will gain credits in Unit Standards through Competenz (New Zealand Engineering Food & Manufacturing Industry Training Organisation).
The manufacture of engineering products, working from specific plans to within given tolerances requires the students to display competent practical skills. Design and making techniques are taught and developed to manufacture materials in the production of the students' folio of work, which might be items such as a gardening tool or similar.
A student will be withdrawn from a standard if the teacher is not confident that the achievement of the standard is within the reach of the student or there is no evidence of the student attempting the assessment.
Health and Safety and understanding of working in a risk rich environment is a large part of this course and those students that cannot demonstrate good practice in this area, may be removed from the course.
