Year 12
Mechanical Engineering
Prerequisites Completion of a Diploma Prep course in metal, reaching the minimum level of Stage 3 is strongly recommended for study of Materials Technology at NCEA. Students must also have a proven track record of being safe in the workshops. Students not meeting these requirements should speak to the HoD Workshop Technologies to discuss suitability of enrolment in this course. Description Below is a selection of Unit Standards that could be delivered to give students exposure to Mechanical Engineering in a practical context. The Unit Standards are delivered in a series of practical projects predetermined and built from plans. These projects are documented by a log of evidence towards attainment of the standards. The emphasis is on developing practical skills and knowledge. The breakdown of time allocation for this course equates to about 80% in a workshop environment, and 20% in a design and theory classroom.
Assessment This course contributes towards NCEA Level 2, with all credits internally assessed. A selection of the following Unit Standards will be assessed: • US 32051 Demonstrate and apply knowledge of mechanical engineering drawings and geometric construction in MaPS environment. • US 32053 Demonstrate knowledge of and apply good work practices when preforming machining operations in MaPS environment. • US 32055 Demonstrate knowledge of and apply good work practices when preforming simple fabrication operations in MaPS environment.
All assessments use Industry Training Organisation-designed and moderated (Competenz) assessment material.
NB: University Entrance will not be available via this course.
