Yr 11-13 students
The purpose of this micro-credential is to provide the aeronautical engineering industry in Aotearoa with secondary school leavers who are interested in embarking into the industry and are equipped with introductory aeronautical engineering knowledge and basic skills around workshop, equipment and tool use and safety. The focus is on an introduction to Aviation Engineering; what an aviation engineer does in New Zealand, what jobs and future learning pathways there are and how to be safe in an aviation workshop. Knowledge and skills around equipment and tool types, the uses and safety around this equipment will be the secondary focus with skills being assessed though basic metalwork projects in the workshop.
On successful completion of this micro-credential, learners will be able to:
* prepare to manufacture non-complex components for use on aircraft; prepare non-complex sheet metal for fabrication for use on aircraft; assemble non-complex sheet metal components for use on aircraft; and carry out task completion activities
* select aeronautical engineering tools and equipment; and use and maintain aeronautical engineering tools and equipment
Graduates will be able to work safely in an aeronautical engineering context, to carry out engineering tasks under direct supervision.
