INDUSTRIAL

TECHNOLOGY

Students will use and test their imagination in Industrial Technology.
This subject provides the opportunity to create solutions through
design using Computer Aided Drafting (CAD) and Computer Aided
Manufacturing (CAM) and then utilise a range of materials, tools,
machines and processes to produce quality outcomes. Students
undertaking this course may be considering the Trade Training
Centre as part of their Senior Learning Pathway.

Woodwork
• In Woodwork, students work on traditional furnishing projects
Students gain a good understanding of woodworking joints and
Computer Aided Drawing.

Metalwork
• In Metalwork, students work on a toolbox project and learn about
sheet metal fabrication and the importance of accuracy and
detail in creating plans and drawings.
DESIGN

TECHNOLOGY

Students will design, fabricate and test ideas that use new
technology. They will use the knowledge and skills to create model
vehicles for the F1 in the Schools Technology challenge and see what
it takes to succeed in these industries. Students use Computer Aided
Manufacturing (CAM) and learn the fundamentals of hydraulics and
electronics. Students will create and design robots that are scaled
versions of robots capable of performing complex tasks. Students
also have the opportunity to create and participate in a catapult
challenge. They will learn about coding a pocket sized computer
to control a motor and lights, then add electronic circuits for bling.
Design Technology will prepere students to undertake the study of
Design in Year 11 & 12 and also supports learning in Physics
