The Metal Design Technology course emphasises the safe use and care of machines and hand tools associated with the metalwork industry. Students will develop a specialised knowledge of processes, tools and equipment associated with metalwork.

Lathe, sheet metal and fitting work will be undertaken, in conjunction with this, students will use the oxygen-acetylene equipment to heat, forge, bend and weld project parts as well as learning to use the MIG welders to industry standard.

The design process will be used as a means of producing and developing design concepts. Students will have the opportunity to use and become familiar with a range of materials in the process of constructing projects and have the chance to individualise some of their work.
