Year 12
Mechanical Engineering
Prerequisites Completion of a Diploma Prep course in
Assessment This course contributes towards NCEA Level 2, with all credits internally assessed. 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.
Materials Technology, Wood Construction, or Metal Construction, reaching at least Stage 3, is strongly recommended for students wishing to study Mechanical Engineering at NCEA Level 2. Students must also have demonstrated safe and responsible workshop practice. Students not meeting these requirements should speak with the HoD Workshop Technologies to discuss the suitability of enrolment in this course. Description Mechanical Engineering is a practical, industry- aligned course within the Manufacturing Pathway Skills (MaPS) programme. It introduces students to foundational engineering skills, processes, and workplace practices used in machining, fabrication, and manufacturing environments. The course is delivered through predetermined, industry-based projects. Students learn to interpret engineering drawings, follow supplied plans and specifications, operate machinery safely, and apply appropriate machining and fabrication processes to create practical outcomes. As they progress, students develop accuracy, independence, confidence, and sound workshop habits that reflect expectations in engineering and manufacturing environments. Students document evidence of their learning in a logbook to demonstrate achievement of the required standards.
All assessments use Industry Training Organisation-designed and moderated (Competenz) assessment material.
