Course Description

Teacher in Charge: Mr P. Byers.

Recommended Prior Learning

It is highly recommended that students have undertaken the Level 1 Mechanical Engineering course.


Level 2 Mechanical Engineering builds on skills typically learned at Level 1, but there is no prerequisite to join the course. You’ll use CAD programs and gain experience reading and interpreting technical plans as part of your projects. From welding and machining to milling, fabrication, and multi-material work, you’ll continue to develop practical skills with a wide range of tools and modern workshop machinery. Students can complete industry-focused unit standards or achievement standards. Safety and skill remain central as you learn to work confidently and independently, further developing problem-solving abilities and technical knowledge. Supported throughout, you’ll be encouraged to take on challenges, manage your own projects, and explore creativity through the design process. With access to welders, lathes, plasma and laser cutters, Level 2 Mechanical Engineering offers a realistic and engaging workshop environment that prepares you for further study, trade pathways, or mastering skills that will benefit you for life.
