Level 3 Materials and Design Technology
MTY3 Subject DescriptionTeacher in Charge: Mr S. Anderson
This course culminates 4 years of prior knowledge to develop students learning as closely as possible replicating real life technological practice. Students will be self-directed, imaginative, ethical, collaborative thinkers, with the skills and experiences to work through complex situations and involve others in their problem-solving and solutions. A commitment to independent study and skill development is a must.
Skills will include the implementation of complex procedures, understandings of material development and developing a prototype within a determined context.
Students will undertake a combination of Achievement Standards from Generic Technology and the Specialist Categories of Technological Knowledge and Skills. Students will typically work on 2 major projects over the course of the year. Scholarship can also be attempted in all Technology subjects.
Alternative Standard
A.S. 91627 v3 Design and Visual Communication 3.30 - Initiate design ideas through exploration - 4 credits, external
This standard could be taken as an alternative to one of the internals listed below, with consultation with the teacher. This would make the course eligible for endorsement
Contributions and Equipment/Stationery
$130 for materials. Additional cost may be incurred with complex projects.
Entry Guidelines
12 Technology credits at level 2
