HMM 101
Engineering is a practical course that allows students to gain competence in core engineering skills while constructing projects. The skills include the use of hand tools, measuring and marking out, using lathe and milling machine's, reading and producing drawings, sheet metal fabrication, and engineering fabrication. There is also written work related to the tools, materials, machines used, and Technical drawing required to gain the Unit Standard.
The Achievement Standard will be based on using a Computer Aided Drawing programme (CAD) and producing an authentic outcome using the laser cutter or 3D printer.
