NCEA Level 2 Engineering
Course Description
Head of Faculty - Kaihautuu: Mr S. Qureshi.
The course offered by Competenz allows students to undertake a small engineering project, enhancing the skills acquired in Year 11.
Participants are required to confidently utilize lathes, mills, and various handtools/power tools. They will accomplish three units that cover interpreting mechanical engineering drawings, fabrication techniques, and machine operation.
This course serves as an excellent pathway for individuals aiming to pursue an apprenticeship in engineering rather than advancing to Year 13.
Course Overview
Term 3
Unit standards 32051, 32053 and 32055 completed at the end of term
Recommended Prior Learning
Students are strongly advised to have completed Year 11 engineering before enrolling in this course. Priority enrollment will be given to those who have fulfilled all the necessary work from the preceding year. Students who have not previously studied the subject but are highly motivated to pursue it at Level 2 should arrange a meeting with the lead teacher to discuss their application.
Pathway
NCEA Level 3 engineering opens up diverse career pathways in various sectors of the industry. Graduates may pursue roles in mechanical engineering, where they design and develop machinery and systems, or electrical engineering, focusing on power generation and distribution. Civil engineering offers opportunities in infrastructure projects like roads, bridges, and buildings, while environmental engineering addresses sustainability and resource management challenges. Aerospace engineering involves designing aircraft and spacecraft, while biomedical engineering combines medical sciences with technology for healthcare innovations. Additionally, graduates can explore roles in project management, consultancy, research, and development, shaping the future through innovation and problem-solving in engineering disciplines.
