Course Outline
The Woodwork Course offers students a unique opportunity to develop Process and communication skills appropriate to the Woodwork context.
Students develop woodworking skills and understanding through both directed project work, and developing their own designs. In addition to handskills and machine operations students, will learn about product design and personal project management.
Throughout this process, students are encouraged to develop their own designs by researching existing products, working out the processes required to make their design and selecting the appropriate material for the project. They will develop CAD skills in the classroom and practical skills within the workshop environment such as the use of various tools, machinery and processes relevant to the tasks in a safety and effective environment.
Projects include Trebuchet, folding beach seat and a lathe project.
It is recommended (although not required) that students enrolling in this course also select Design Technical Graphics to complement their studies.
