The Metal and Engineering Curriculum Framework is designed to enable students to acquire a range of technical, personal and organisational skills valued both within and beyond the workplace. Students will also acquire underpinning skills and knowledge related to functional areas within the manufacturing, engineering and related service industries. Through study in this subject, students will gain experience that can be applied to a range of contexts, including work, study and leisure, and that can be used in making informed career choices.
The two extension courses, Metal and Engineering Specialist Studies (60 indicative hours) and Metal and Engineering Specialist Studies (120 indicative hours), allow students to gain additional competencies.
A syllabus is a document that gives teachers an outline of what students are to be taught in a specific learning area.
The syllabus and other supporting material for Metal and Engineering 11-12 is available from the Board of Studies.
