Entry Recommendations: Open entry. SMC Foundation Diploma Materials Technology is an advantage. Students who have completed the Level 1 course will have priority entry.

Course Outline: The Level 2 Materials Technology course addresses the requirements of the technology achievement standards through two projects – Keep Me Warm and WOW.

In the “Keep Me Warm” project students build on knowledge gained in Year 11 in:

• Brief development
• Research
• Garment construction 
• Materials testing
• Advanced garment construction

In the “WOW” project students develop skills in:

• Time management
• Concept drawing
• Functional modelling in a range of materials
• Creativity

Course Costs: Approximately $100-$250.  All costs of materials used in the construction of the design solution are the responsibility of the student.  

The course leads to: NCEA Level 3 Materials Technology.

Assessment: Components of this course will be selected from the following standards to suit individual learning needs.
