Engineering Skills

Applied Senior Subject

Engineering Skills - Fabrication and MachiningApplied senior subject Applied

Engineering Skills focuses on : Industry practices and production processes required to maintain and repair Metal products used in a variety of industries, including building and construction, engineering and furnishing.

What we do: Interpret technical specifications, demonstrate and apply safe practical production skills and procedures with tools and materials, communicate using oral and written modes, organise and produce practical items then evaluate products using specifications.

What we need from you: adaptable, competent communication skills, self-motivated and safe individuals who can work with colleagues to solve problems and complete tasks.

Pathways

Potential employment opportunities may be found in:• Sheet metal worker • Metal fabricator• Maintenance fitter • Metal machinist• Locksmith• Refrigeration mechanic • Automotive mechanic

Takeaway – Engineering Skills

• Applied subject 4QCE points, I per Unit.• Engineering Skills = Metal work.• Units contain Theory and Practical components.• Yes there is an examination. • It is noisy, you must use machinery and sparks happen.• Safety is the most important thing.• Year 7/8 PDT is the prerequisite. • Contributes toward ATAR.

• What we need from you: adaptable, competent communication skills, self-motivated and safe individuals who can work with colleagues to solve problems and complete tasks.
