NCEA Level 1 Mechanical Engineering (TME)

Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr D. Brits.

This is an introductory unit standard course aimed at attracting and supporting students who are interested in entering an apprenticeship in mechanical engineering or allied trades. 

The focus is on developing processing skills using a wide range of equipment in a mechanical engineering workshop environment. Students develop skills in marking out and measuring, hand tool and machine tool operation, as well as fabrication and finishing processes. Students learn to work independently and manage their time. The course involves workshop safety, manufacturing a set piece skills-based project and a design development project.

Competnz is the Industry Training Organisation (ITO) that manages the course.

The Level 1 course transitions to Level 2 and Level 3 NCEA.

Disclaimer

Rosmini College's timetable is student-driven and a new timetable is generated each year based on student subject selection. Unfortunately, while we do our best to avoid them, timetabling clashes may still occur and a few students may be required to choose an alternative subject option.

The 2025 timetable, including the number of classes in each subject and staffing allocations, is created based on student selections made in 2024. Because of this, changing subjects at the beginning of 2025 may not be possible. Please, make your subject choices carefully.
