As part of the manufacturing and design industry, engineering offers the opportunity to be involved in broad-based skills areas driven by technology and design. This course provides foundation skills to operate tools and equipment to produce and modify objects. Students will learn basic welding skills, communication skills, and explore career options in the engineering and manufacturing industry.
This program prepares students for a career in the manufacturing, engineering, advanced manufacturing, mining, resources and defence industries. Possible career pathways include:
- Boiler or Engine Operator
- Boilermaker’s Assistant
- Fitter’s Assistant
- Engineering Production Worker
- Metal Engineering Process Worker
ENGINEERING PATHWAYS (MEM20422)
This course equips students with the knowledge and skills which will enhance their prospects of employment in an engineering, fitting and turning, or fabrication and welding setting.
Students will become skilled in using electric welding machines, cutting, shaping and manufacturing metal structures and components using hand and power tools, and engineering workshop machines.
