NCEA Level 1 Materials Technology: Product Design

MTD101
Course Description

Teacher in Charge: S. Stephen.

This exciting course caters for students who completed Year 10 Mechatronics, 10 MTW or 10MTM. Students taking this class will need to be prepared to upskill in all of these areas as projects involve both hard materials and mechatronics. The majority of standards offered are Achievement Standard based and assessed throughout the year. Students will develop their own ideas by following the design process and then plan and manufacture their outcome. 

This course is more challenging than 11 MTB or 11MTM  as it requires students to complete and design their own projects.

There will be a number of standards offered from the list below. The final decision on the standards covered will depend on the needs of the class.
