YEAR 10 AUTOMOTIVE MECHANICS (10AUT) |
| Length of Course: |
Half year and full year options. |
| Course Description: |
Transportation is a major concern in today���s fast paced world and it���s expensive. The earlier people gain a basic understanding of the modern automobile the more enjoyment they will get from their motoring. The design of today���s automobile is far superior to that of 20 years ago. This course is designed to help students gain an understanding of this and/or to prepare them for a career in the automotive industry.
This course is based around the construction of a simple go-kart and the systems that make it safe and fun to drive. Students will construct a go-kart, learning about the components involved with the drive train, steering, brakes, fuel and passenger systems. They will then test drive their go-kart at a local track. Students will work in teams learning about the correct use, cleaning and storage of tools.
NOTE:
Option 1 : Full year (3 periods per week)
Option 2 : Half year (4 periods per week). Students will not be involved in any fabricating processes. The steering, brakes, power train, and control systems will already be manufactured and students will only be bolting them on to the chassis.

| Course Description: |
This is a Level 1 course consisting of Unit Standards designed to develop and assess a student���s understanding of basic automotive theories and practices. Its focus is on developing the practical skills and knowledge necessary to do basic preventative maintenance on your own vehicle. As most students will own a car within their lifetime, this course would be beneficial even if they have no intention of pursuing a career in the automotive industry.
Students will learn: basic safe workshop procedures, proper names and uses of tools, the ability to name and explain the function of engine, body and chassis components. They will also gain an understanding of the relationships between these various components and how to diagnose simple vehicle problems. This course has a substantial theory component. Successful students will gain credits towards both NCEA and the NZ Qualifications Framework. These results can also be used towards entry into pre-apprenticeship courses at any polytechnic or trade school for the Motor Vehicle Trade.The Department���s Health and Safety Policy requires all students to wear covered footwear (school uniform shoes). |
| Pre-requisite: |
This is an entry-level course open to all Year 11, 12 and 13 students. However, students with Year 10 Automotive Mechanics will be given first preference. Y12 and 13 students must have TIC approval before enrolling in this course |
