St John’s College (Hillcrest)

Level 2 Engineering

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr P. Rowlingson.

Recommended Prior Learning

Level 1 Engineering would be an advantage.

Year 12 Engineering leads directly into Year 13 Engineering.

Students will develop knowledge of machines and machining, cutting tools, and the application of good work practice while carrying out fabrication processes in an engineering environment.

Students will work on at least two projects. Mild steel funnel and a multi material gearknob.

Further tertiary opportunities include a wide selection of trade based careers, diploma and degree qualifications in mechanical, electrical, civil engineering.

Course Overview

Term 1
Students will work towards the completion of at least two practical projects; a sheet metal funnel.
Students will work to achieve three Unit Standards:

32051 Demonstrate and apply knowledge of mechanical engineering drawings and geometric construction in an Engineering environment.
32053 Demonstrate knowledge of and apply good work practices when performing machining operations in Engineering environment
32055 Demonstrate knowledge of and apply good work practices when performing simple fabrication operations in an Engineering environment.

Term 2
32051 will be assessed. First project should be finished before the end of this term.

Term 3
The second project will be started, if not already and should be completed by the end of this term.
32053 and 32055 will be assessed at the end of term three.

Term 4
Assessment and construction of projects will finish early in term four.
