Subject Code: 1TSTM Credit points: 10 points Length of course: Semester Recommended Background: Satisfactory completion of a Year 8 -10 Technology Studies subject
Course Outline:
Students develop the ability to initiate, crate 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 Include:
This course is designed to allow students the opportunity to use and expand the skills they have already developed in technology, particularly in the area of materials technology. Practical problem solving, safety awareness and industrial practices are all important aspects of the course. Students will be required to engage in a major design, make appraise exercise and in further study of the relevant materials and systems associated with metal technologies with particular emphasis on machining and welding. Students will explore welding techniques of non-ferrous materials such as Stainless Steel and Aluminium using Tungsten Inert Gas welder.
Assessment:
