Teacher in Charge: P. Neal.
Recommended Prior LearningThis course builds on the skills introduced in 11MTM, so students are expected to have successfully completed a year 11 workshop technology course or join the class at the discretion of the Head of Department.
Each Student will make a Drift Trike powered by a 4 stroke engine. They will learn to use a variety of hand, power and machine tools in the production of this project. Students will also use Computer Aided Design software to model aspects of their project. Assessment will be against Mechanical Engineering ITO Unit Standards.
For the drift trikes to be fully functional, engines, wheels and other parts are required. Students can source parts independently if they wish, or place an order with the school for a kit of parts. This kit will cost approximately $380 each. Students who do not have an engine and wheel kit will not be penalized in NCEA credits, however their project will not be fully functional.
Families/whānau can be charged for the cost of materials when they have agreed that item can be taken home. This cost will be advised at the start of the course.
Parts Kit: $380
For NCEA Levels 1, 2 & 3 courses will be made up of a selection of the stated standards. This will happen at the beginning of the year with the assigned teacher.
