EPI203 Metals Workshop (8)
CSU Discipline Area: Curriculum Studies (CURIC)
Duration: One session
Abstract:
This subject provides the student with the opportunity to develop workshop skills and safety procedures in the use of metal as a material. A strong emphasis on OH&S is included in the subject. Students will consider how these skills and concepts relate to technology studies in the secondary school. They will engage in school metal workshop projects and receive advice and demonstration of teachers' practice including pedagogy, behaviour and classroom management and OH&S issues related to the TAS teaching environment. They will report on these aspects of teaching to develop an applied understanding of safety, management and organisational concepts to ensure a safe technology classroom environment and consider how this supports their development as effective technology teachers. They will build on these understandings through assessment items that link theory and practice in this technology area.

Objectives:
Upon successful completion of this subject, students should:
- be able to competently use hand tools and power tools in a metal based workshop;
- understand and put into practice OH&S procedures in a metal workshop;
- be able to relate personal workshop practice to school workshop management and organisation;
- be able to link metal technology skills content to educational goals with an emphasis on a design based approach;
- be able to evaluate effective teaching where pedagogy, behaviour and classroom management ensures OH&S procedures are observed;
- be able to identify how applying these teaching skills to ensure a safe teaching environment contributes to their development as effective technology teachers.
Syllabus:
The subject will cover the following topics:
- i) 5 units from the Certificate II in Engineering Production Technology (MEM20205):
- Apply and evaluate OH&S procedures (MEM13014A);
- Operate hand tools and power tools in a metals workshop (MEM18001C Use hand tools) and (MEM18002B Use hand tools/hand held operations);
- Measurement skills (MEM12023A Perform engineering measurements);
- Use technical plans & drawings (MEM09002B Interpret technical drawings);
- Welding and cutting skills (MEM05012C Perform routine metal arc welding and MEM05007C Perform manual heating and thermal cutting).
- ii) School metal workshop practice including pedagogy, behaviour and classroom management and OH&S issues such as safety, management and organisational concepts and reflect on how that will support their development as effective technology teachers.
Residential School
This subject contains a compulsory 4 day residential school.
Students will undertake the practical workshop components for nominated Certificate II Engineering Production Technology (MEM20205) units of competency.
Specialised Resources
The University does not provide specialised resources, however we use specialised resources in secondary schools, namely the Trade Centres in local schools. Students are expected to contribute towards consumables for projects they create and keep.
