NCEA Level 3 Materials Technology: Metal

13MTH
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: P. Neal.

Recommended Prior Learning

This course builds on the skills introduced in 12MTM, so students are expected to have successfully completed a year 12 Workshop Technology course or join the class at the discretion of the Head of Department or Head of Faculty.

Level 3 students are expected to be more independent than level 2 and as such have greater freedom of what they can make. Students can focus on the set project, an engine powered mini motorbike or the same project as the level 2 students.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, then profile cut these on our CNC Plasma cutter.


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