In this course, students engage with more hands-on learning as they delve into both traditional and contemporary manufacturing techniques to construct projects from wood and plastic. They spend the majority of class time working on their projects, including the design and construction of a Bluetooth speaker. Through this immersive experience, students acquire practical skills, industry insights, and theoretical foundations while embracing emerging technologies.
Embracing a project-based learning (PBL) approach, students collaborate as a team of designers, refining real-world project management skills. This comprehensive blend equips them for future careers, emphasising innovation and collaboration as essential pillars of success.
Pathways: This subject provides a foundation for further studies of Senior Design, Certificate II in Engineering Pathways, Certificate III in Aviation (Remote Pilot) and Senior Engineering in Years 11 and 12. The skills developed may also have application to other (Humanities/Science/Arts/Technology) subjects. For pathways beyond school, please refer to the senior course descriptions.
