Subject Code: 1TSTW Credit Points: 10 Length of course: Semester Recommended Background: Satisfactory completion of a Year 8 - 10 Technology Studies
Course Outline:
Students develop the ability to initiate, create and develop products or systems in response to a design brief. They learn to use tools, materials and systems safely and competently to complete a product.
Students analyse the impacts of technology, including consequences for individuals, society and the environment. They use a range of manufacturing technologies such as tools, machines, equipment, and/or systems to design and make products with resistant materials.
Contexts include metals, plastics, wood, composites, ceramics, and textiles.
Topics Included:
This course is designed to allow students the opportunity to develop skills in the area of materials technology. Practical problem solving, safety awareness and industrial practices are all important aspects of the course. They will be required to engage in a major design based on framing and box construction, and the study of the relevant materials and systems associated with wood technology, with particular emphasis on natural harvest timber products. This course covers machining skills, hardware selection and fitting and the selection and use of a variety of timbers.
