METAL & RELATED MATERIALS

Technology (Metal) introduces a range of processes & skills, which are applied to the design & manufacture of projects.

A workbook introduces students to research, safety, production methods & an evaluation of a product.

The first design brief is a compulsory project that varies from year to year, such as a small metal box. Students are provided with a choice of copper raising, a piece of jewellery or ornamental item, & a range of welding projects, as the next item to be made.

Once completed, students may have the opportunity to manufacture projects of their choice. Students will be advised if they have the skills & knowledge to design & produce the items they decide upon.

A number of students complete practical & theory tasks on a welding process or projects involving more advanced processes.

This program is a pathway for VET Engineering Studies.
