Year 13 Engineering

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr P. Nicholson.

Year 13 Engineering 

This is a full Level Three Achievement Standards course that is based around essential engineering skills and knowledge. This includes such skills as CAD drawing and 3D printing, basic CNC programming and machining, practical engineering skills using Digital Read Out (DRO) machinery.

Students wishing to study Engineering at Tertiary level will find the skills and knowledge of this course hugely beneficial, especially in their first year of university. New Zealand Universities such as Canterbury and Waikato recommend L3 Technology for students wishing to pursue a career in Engineering.

There is no pre-requisite for this subject, however some practical experience would be an advantage, but not necessary.

Course fees for materials of take-home component is $60

An alternative Technology Scholarship programme is also available for highly motivated students.
See Mr Nicholson for more details.
