Industrial Technology Metalwork

Industrial Technology Metalwork develops in students, knowledge and understanding of materials and processes. Knowledge and skills are developed through a specialised approach to the tools, materials and techniques employed in the planning, development, construction and evaluation of quality practical projects and processes. Critical thinking skills are developed through engagement with creative practical problem-solving activities.

The two core modules develop knowledge and skills in the use of materials, tools and techniques related to metal which are enhanced and further developed through the study of specialist modules in:

  • Metal Machining
  • Fabrication

Practical projects reflect the nature of the Metal focus area and provide opportunities for students to develop specific knowledge, understanding and skills related to metal-related technologies. These may include

  • sheet metal products
  • metal machining projects
  • fabricated projects

To satisfy the requirements of the syllabus, students will undertake a range of practical experiences that occupy the majority of course time. Practical experiences develop knowledge and understanding of, and skills in designing, producing and evaluating.
