NCEA Level 1 Manufacturing Engineering

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr A. Bisschops.

Level 1 Manufacturing Engineering is for students who wish to pursue an Engineering trade related career.  Trained people with skills in all areas of trades and technology continue to be in high demand, as skill shortages remain even in times of recession.  The skills taught in school-based Engineering and Technology courses give a sound basis for further training in Trade and Industry.

This course gives the motivated and career focused student the opportunity to achieve a Level 1 qualification in Engineering by following a prescribed Industry Training Organisation (COMPETENZ) series of Unit Standards.  The course combines theory, drawing and practical units and uses metalwork as the focus.


Unfortunately, workshop space availability means that students cannot take this course in conjunction with Level 1 Construction and Trades (BCATs).  Students have the opportunity to pick that up in addition in Year 12, provided that they have been able to demonstrate solid work habits and ethics.

Disclaimer

Southland Boys' High School endeavours to timetable courses depending on students' needs, interests and future plans.  Many factors can influence whether a course is able to be offered in the following year.  These can include:

  • Student demand
  • Staff availability
  • Resourcing

These factors can also impact on timetabling, and as a result students will be asked for input about any clashes that may occur.

Where a course is not able to be run, students' back-up subjects will be used.  If there are issues with student selections and the timetabling process, students will have the opportunity to make a decision in conjunction with staff input on the best solution.
