Workshop Technology
Year 13
Mechanical Engineering
Prerequisites Students are expected to have successfully completed the Level 2 Mechanical Engineering course. Students wishing to take Level 3 Mechanical Engineering without completing the Level 2 course must seek prior approval from the HoD Workshop Technologies, as the work requires a high level of independence, safe practice, and practical capability. Description Mechanical Engineering builds on the foundational MaPS engineering skills developed at Level 2. Students apply best-practice engineering knowledge with greater independence, accuracy, and responsibility through more advanced machining, fabrication, and development drawing tasks. The course requires students to interpret plans and specifications, produce accurate components, perform fabrication operations, and apply appropriate engineering processes in a MaPS environment. Students are expected to work responsibly, maintain a log of evidence, and demonstrate the skills and work practices needed in engineering, machining, fabrication, manufacturing, or related trades. Where appropriate, students may also have opportunities to connect with engineering industries through visits or work experience.
This course is not a University Entrance approved subject.
Assessment This course contributes towards NCEA Level 3, with all 18 credits internally assessed. The following Unit Standards will be assessed: • US 32054 (7 credits – internal) Produce components by performing engineering machining operations in MaPS environment. • US32056 (7 credits – internal) Perform fabrication operations in MaPS environment. • US32052 (4 credits – internal) Demonstrate knowledge of, and produce, development drawings and patterns for three- dimensional objects 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.
