Mechatronics
Mechatronics unites the principles of engineering disciplines, including mechanical, electronics, programming and design skills. This is a collaborative class in which the students will design, build and programme technological outcomes. The course provides Sector Related credits Manufacturing towards and Technology Vocational Pathway endorsement. Mechatronics is an Academy class (see AWVA Academies) and as such will run from 2.00pm– 6:00pm on a Wednesday afternoon.
As an Academy we must provide a tertiary component. We have developed a strong working partnership with the Engineering faculty at AUT, this allows our students to enrol in one of their papers. This will run in Term 3 - on a Tuesday afternoon from 2-6pm.
Standards can be altered to suit different projects.
Aeronautical Engineer, Air Force Aviator, Aircraft Maintenance Engineer, Product Assembler, Architectural Technician, Metal Worker, Boat Builder, Air Force Officer, Mechanical Engineering Technician, Army Officer, Medical Physicist, Electronics Engineer, Biomedical Engineer, Fabrication Engineer, Mining Engineer
