Combined Technology

Core courses

Wood construction Students develop their skills and understanding of workshop techniques in a wood-based context through the construction of a set project. They are introduced to a range of hand tools and machinery used in the building and construction industry. They learn to read and build from a working drawing. Prerequisite for: Level 2 Building & Construction. Metal construction Students develop their skills and understanding of workshop techniques in a metal-based context through the construction of a set project. They are introduced to a range of hand tools and machinery used in the engineering industry. They learn to read and build from a working drawing. Prerequisite for: Level 2 Mechanical Engineering. Materials technology Students learn how to use design and manufacturing processes to produce an outcome. They learn how to write and refine a brief, develop ideas through research and prototyping, and work with stakeholders to produce the desired product. Design tools used may include CAD software, CNC milling, 3D printing, laser cutting and engraving. Strongly recommended for those looking at Level 2 Materials Technology.

Industrial Design Students use digital design tools to produce student-designed outcomes within an inquiry- based process. Outcomes reflect innovative solutions to design problems encountered throughout the design cycle. Product design tools used may include CAD software, CNC milling, 3D printing, laser cutting and engraving. Recommended for students with an interest in design, construction, and digital technologies and the intersection of them.
