NCEA Level 2 Materials Technology: Metal

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: P. Neal.

Recommended Prior Learning

This 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 either a Drift Trike or Scooter powered by a 49cc 2 stroke engine or electric motor. They will also use Computer Aided Design software to model their project.

Assessment will be against a combination of ITO Unit Standards and Achievement 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. Orders will need to be placed mid March 2024 at the latest.

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. 

Assessment will be against a combination of ITO Unit Standards and Achievement Standards.
